Where can I get an accumulator tank?

[richardm47]

The old green plastic pressure tank for our fresh water system has split down the seam. It sprays water all over my beer locker. I've tried "welding" the seam with my soldering iron, with only partial success. Time to get a new accumulator tank? but where from? Vetus don't have those pressure tanks in their catalog any more, unless you buy a pump as well and thats quite expensive. Whale sell something called a Surge Damper, maybe that would do. Any other ideas?

Could I just blank off the hose and do without an accumulator tank? Or does that wear out the pressure switch.

I've got a small black plastic accumulator going spare if it is of use to you?

Only want the cost of postage (should be less than £5) and a couple of beers.

You just beat me putting it on Marinaskip.

I had no trouble getting a replacement from our chandlery - I think it's a Jabsco unit; comes either with a diaphragm or air-filled with a tap.

Cleghorn Waring make a range of pressure systems.
