Can SeaFlo Accumulator Install Between Pump and Water Filter

Updated 02/03/2026 | Published 07/08/2024

Question:

The directions with the accumulator tank say it can he mounted anywhereinch in-line after the pump. I live off-grid and my pump is before my 3 stage water filter/UV purification system, since it specifies not to put the pump after so as not to damage the quartz sleeve that the UV light is housed in. Im wondering, can i put the tank AFTER the filter system, instead of between the pump and filters? It will fit a whole lot better and then be storing clean water which will probably make it last longer. Thanks!

Hey Rhonda, in order for the Seaflo Accumulator part # SE38FR to function properly it needs to install right after the water pump and not after a water filtration system

Hey Rhonda, how did things go with mounting the Seaflo accumulator tank after your pump? Your setup sounds unique, and knowing what worked could help others with off-grid water systems too.

@JamesonC Hi, actually by the time I had gotten your reply, I had already installed it. I did have to install it after the filtration system, as it was the only place i had room to put it. It's been working fine all this time! It has really helped cut down on the pump having to kick on so much just to run a little bit of water. Hopefully it will give more life to this second pump I had to install just before I installed the accumulator. So far so good!
