I want to add a pressure accumulator tank to our existing fresh water system on board for the usual reasons. Since we have plenty of room, I can either add a 6Gal tank from a farm supply company (made of painted steel alas) for about $45, or I can spend about 50% more for a 1 liter jabsco marine tank which hardly seems large enough.
We shower aboard, and the current system has hot/cold surging, which is the main thing I am trying to fix. Would the 1 liter tank be sufficient? The painted steel farm supply tank can be mounted in a secure, safe location, with good spray protection in case of a burst hose or something, so I am not too worried about corrosion. (It's not like I don't have a lot of other bits in the engine room I have to inspect for rust. ) I just like to spend as little money as I can, and 1.6 gal drawdown vs about 500ml drawdown, for less money, seems more useful. Or am I missing something? Thanks for any and all input. _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
