A Home Improvement accessory that stabilises water pressure and reduces pump cycling for leisure vehicles and boats, LumaBrite Accumulator Tank. Quieter, steadier water makes washing up and showers more comfortable on the move. Is fitting an accumulator the right upgrade for older pumps and tight installations?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Pressure Stability: Buffers pressure spikes during peak use, smoothing flow and avoiding sudden surges
- • Best for: Owners of RVs, boats, caravans and motorhomes seeking quieter, more reliable freshwater systems
- • Not ideal for: Systems that require buffering larger than 1 litre or non-standard plumbing connections
Pre-pressurised 1 litre accumulator with flow-control inner bladder and 1/2 MNPT port rated to 125 PSI. Compact footprint suits confined spaces on boats and leisure vehicles.
Reduced pump cycling, with flow-control inner bladder
A pre-pressurised inner bladder absorbs short, high-demand bursts and holds water under pressure so the pump does not start for every small draw. The 1 litre volume provides a buffer between pump cycles.
Fewer pump starts prolong pump life and lower maintenance needs, especially on older pumps prone to frequent cycling.
Quieter water delivery, with pre-pressurised accumulator
An air-charged chamber evens pressure swings that normally cause loud on/off noises from pumps. The pre-pressurised state means the accumulator starts functioning immediately on installation.
Noticeably reduced noise during tap or shower use improves onboard comfort while underway or at a campsite.
Compact installation, with 1/2 MNPT port and small footprint
A standard 1/2 MNPT port simplifies plumbing connections to existing pump systems, while dimensions of 12 in x 5 in x 4.49 in allow fitting into limited locker or under-sink spaces.
Straightforward placement close to the pump or inside service lockers keeps plumbing runs short and tidy.
