Yes, providing the accumulator is fitted to the pump set which is normally the case and the pipes are sized accordingly to the point of use.
A change of tune then
Any system if it is expected to work, must be designed and sized according to demand, and that includes the solar panels on another thread.

I don't install domestic.
And I certainly don't think Diyers are stupid, in their own field they probably have more brains than I will ever have. On the other hand I will never try and tell them how to do their job.

EEr no. Someone earlier was recommending a GAH /UV system which is unecessary in my view.
Once I have the other information that I have asked for then I shall give my options as to what I would do to provide a solution just as if the problem was mine.

Yes, I know. You swing on industrial stilsons like an apeman.
If you dont install domestic then I think my findings are worth more than the knowledge you have gained whilst doing double sumersaults off the end of your stilson wrench .

That's the trouble with an internet forum.
Balenza can dole out advice whilst having no experience, and some poor chap could believe him. Add a few a few brickbats, and it looks like he has the tradesman's confident swagger.
If Doitall can see that an accumulator could help the OP, fair play to him.
Accumulators have a role to play and by the sound of it this chap on the side of a mountain may be able to benefit from one. For nth time I am not a GAH salesman and we do not directly sell accumulators of any type.
If Balenza has a mate with one that isn't working properly, rather than ignorantly blame the technology, it would seem more helpful for an expert (like himself) to investigate why it isn't working and solve the problem.
We were asked to look at an accumulator install in Wandsworth only last week, it was performing really badly. The system was poorly designed, and installed by someone with no idea what they were doing. Once the issues were fixed, the customer could not hold his hand under the bath taps.
No diggers were required, no big stilsons. Only our bill to be settled.
DIYers are generally gung ho positive types, luckily only the minority like to masquerade as experts on the internet. Perhaps Balenza is a JCB driver?

How much did you con them out of this time ?
Remember this thread -

and the OP's final reply after 19 pages-
I want to thank everyone for their help but the I now have the answer to my poor flow rate and it's because my pipes were plumbed in incorrectly. After getting an excellent plumber in (not those cowboys that put the megaflo in) it turns out that for reasons unknown my mains pipe is only 15mm from the ground floor stopcock to the middle floor ….

Bad design by someone that hasn't a clue then ballskis.
In this thread the OP has a pump which feeds an storage tank, to increase the pressure, an unvented system using the existing pump would be ideal if designed properly, the accumulator will stop the pump cycling, hold a constant pressure, and as a bonus prolong the life of the pump.
No fighting while i'm Modding this site tonight boys
Slip me tenner and i'll turn a blind eye

Simon, unlike our previous disagreement that we sorted like adults in the end because we were at the end of the day both wanting the best professional outcome, I feel you are wasting your breath and banging your head up against the wall with Ball enocks
What ever you say you will be wrong , overcharging the customer and ripping them off. in fact if you done a job for him for nothing you would be charging him too much according to him
