A larger accumulator has more capacity to keep pressure on the system, it will keep the fresh water
pump cycles down. However, to
pump the system back up to normal pressure the
pump may run a little longer when it does come on. If you get a bigger accumulator you may just need that bigger
pump after all if you don't want the
pump running for a whole minute just to get the system back up to pressure.
You may prefer stainless to plastic accumulator (or the other way around). Space to install a larger tank may be a consideration too. Cost considerations come with quality and material (as always). There are a few manufactures out there also: shurflo, jabsco, grocco, and a few others.
My system is small and simple, I only need a small accumulator, a small
pump, and a small water heater. If you have an elaborate system or maybe a few people using it at the same time (washing dishes while you shower), you may need bigger components.
