In #925 the pump was under the aft berth and I added an accumulator mounted to the same board as the pump to even out the flow, reduce hammer and temperature fluctuations. It worked well.  On the current boat the pump is under the port bench seat in the main cabin and seems to give much more even flow without needing an accumulator, provided I keep the filter clean.  Sorry but I do not know the pump makes.
