Called Shurflo and I don't need it but he said it will give me a bit more pressure with it.
The customer service flack you spoke to obviously does not understand the function of a diaphragm pressure tank.

Hint:  A pressure tank does not increase the pressure put out by the water pump.

"The pressure tank (diaphragm or captive air tank) has three purposes. It stores water and provides water under pressure when the pump is not running. It builds up a reserve supply of water so the pump starts and stops less often, prolonging the life of the pump. In addition, it provides a reserve supply of water for use during times of high demand."
