Accumulator tank

[Spyro]

My Accumulator tank did not survive the big freeze. I thought I had drained the system down but some water must have been left in the tank and it's split beyond repair it was a small 1litre plastic type.
I fitted a new jabsco 31295 pressure pump last year and the installation diagram does not show an accumulator tank. The features also state " built in bypass-less pulsation, reduces the need for accumulation tank".
Can I get away without fitting an accumulator?
Does anyone have this type of pump without an accumulator and does it work ok.
I only have 2 taps no calorifier or shower.
I'm not actually sure the accumulator was doing anything as the pump used to come on right away as soon as a tap was turned on.

The ITT Jabscoshop website says "No need for accumulator tank"
I take that to mean there is no need to fit an accumulator tank!

We have this type of pump fitted and found it was noisy and the flow was very fitful at small tap openings, so we fitted a 1L accumulator tank(£20 approx) from Penguin supplies on Hayling island. It cured the problem and as a bonus it means anyone turning a tap on during the night has good chance of not waking up the entire boat, as the tank, allows aboout a pint of water out before the pump comes on. I fitted it using a flexible washing machine hose, which made the job easier.

Thanks for that, I'll try it without the accumulator first and see how goes, I can always fit one later.
