You showed me yours, I'll show you mine:





A few notes.

1) The accumulator tank is plumbed in the cold water line, prior to it's route to the water heater. It's hidden by the nose of the big pump.
2) The pressure switch shown is that for the 32v DC pump (the green guy on the bottom). As it is a diaphram pump, had to be plumbed close to the AT.
3) the 230v shallow well pump has its own pressure switch, no need for a PVR. I wonder why the headhunter needed a PVR?

This AC and DC set up is great, to answer some questions raised.
First, the AC pump (this Craftsman is rebranded Flojet shallow well pumo is fantastic for generating great pressure, in addition to powering the whole boat when deployed, it makes a great wash down pump for anchor and chain when water supply is not an issue (boat also has a raw water wash down). It can be rewired to 115v for use on an inverter, I never got around to it.
Second, it is nice to have a pump on both electrical systems for redundancy
Third, yes it used at the dock to cycle the tanks and for those who do not like to have shore water hooked up 24/7, if at all.

All in all, highly recommended.
