Water system accumulator
I know there was topic of this type a couple of years ago, but I thought I would start a new one.
I wanted to replace my shurflo 4008 with a 4048 to achieve a little more water pressure. The replacement of the water pump was a bit of a challenge due to small space and Aqua hot bay heater int eh same are, but was able to get it done
Now, at the same time I have been reading about accumulator replacement etc. I have the large jabsco accumulator installed and really did not think too much about it. So...I decided to check the unit. My system is still winterized with an empty water tank. I do have pink throughout but no water pressure in the system. So as I have read on the forum, open a tap to release all the pressure , without the pump on, and press the sxhrader valve to check air pressure. When I did that, oodles of water came out with very little air. I believe that mean that it is toast. I think the unit ia over 15 years old.... In thinking about a replacementi am interested in the shurflo 100 series unit that pressures to about 25 ish. My new 4048, I think is about 25 psi on the setting
Now the big question. Check the picture out as there is a valve a t the bottom of the jabsco and only 1 fitting. The new shurflo has an in and a out. How to I plumb this to make it work ??
Pics are attached and I hope they show what I am scratching my head over
Help and advise would be appreciated
