Accumulator or expansion Vessal

[999]

Hi All
Ive been looking at accumulators online and ended up buying a Reflex potable water expansion vessal. I orginally googled for potable water accumulators and had a load of pages open and purchsed what might be the wrong item. Can someone confirm an expansion vessal is not the same as a accumlator or is it the same?

Same

What size ?

 

[999]

100 litres

That will give you 50l of actual capacity

That’s all an accumulator is a big expansion vessel

Doesn’t it incorporate non return valves
Guess you could add your own

No come in the kit normally an extra with some as it includes a nrv prv and gauge

Long story but i only need to keep pressure stable for 1 short shower first thing in the morning. No real need for storing masses of water as it would not be cost effective to the home owner
