Went from rough sketch to design to welded assembly in 35 minutes.
Sounds good enough... So how do those of us with "Mod Fever" obtain such a cool thing??

After adding the anti-freeze I opened the valve to the surge tank to get some anti-freeze in the valve so it would not freeze and rupture.

Emd_driver, my company can make just about anything. Send me a private message if you would like more info.

If, when completion of a design is imminent, field dimensions are finally supplied as they actually are, instead of as they were meant to be, it is always simpler to start over from scratch.

Just a quick question, if I were to install a surge tank, would it matter how close it was to the pump (or kitchen faucet)?
It would seem to me that pressure would be "the same" at any point in a hydraulic system. As I have other goodies under the kitchen sink, I was thinking about tapping in to the cold water side of the outside shower at the rear of the TT, there is plenty of space under the lower bunk that never seems to be used.
Thanks,
PJ in NJ

PJ in NJ Should not be a problem. The storage tanks for my system at home with a well pump are at least 200 feet from the pump. Your location may allow you to install a decent sized tank. I have one in my 5th wheel and you will love it.

A friend of my put one in under his bathroom sink, for similar reasons as PJ. Works just fine.

the closer to the pump the sooner the "water hammer" from the pump ends. All the lines from the pump outlet to the pressure tank will vibrate as the pump runs, the lines going away from the tank vibrate much less.
