I can't see that a surge damper will make your pump quieter it should however stop it from pulsing/hunting and even out the delivery flow and pressure.

Thanks Steve, that is what im talking about as the pump itself is really quiet!!!! I just wondered if anyone had tried one!
My previous two Kontiki's had a surge damper fitted as standard. It was a blue thing and made by Fiamma. I think the other name for the contraption is an "expansion tank". Regular readers may recall one of these burst in Italy, but fortunately no damage was done. The replacement was easily fitted by an Italian dealer.
This van did not have a damper as standard as the pump is of a different type to the other vans. I have since added one though, but as yet, am reserving my thoughts as to whether water flow is any better or worse.
