ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE
Your Bimini 300 is supplied with a pressure accumulator tank (PL
-
ACC
-
TK) installed in the feed
water line between the feed pump and the Clark Pump.
The purpose of the feed line accumulator is to reduce the spikes in the feed pressure caused
by the cycling of the Clark Pump. If the accumulator is not properly charged it can lead to pres-
sure spikes and system shut down. The accumulator has a Schrader air valve, like a car tire,
which allows the internal air bladder of the accumulator to be pre
-
charged. The accumulator
should be pumped up to about 60 psi (4.1 bar) for best results. Add air using a tire pump or air
compressor. You can experiment with the exact pressure that will give the best pulsation
dampening on your installation.
