I just ordered one, too, along with a couple quick-connectors for a few bucks more (the part number is buried in the item description). I even picked up a 12VDC fan for my refrigerator compartment for $3.

I am tempted to add a second or third one at that price. I paid $45-50 last year for mine. At this price everybody should have one.
for me, I found this reduces pump noise significatly. I am sure it relieves stress on water pump. there is no pulsating of water pressure, I get constant water pressure from shower and sinks. It also allows me to shut off the water pump, and you can flush the toilet quite a few times during the night without needing the water pump to turn on and wake up whoever is sleeping over it on the back bed.
mine is installed right after the pump, but this can be installed anywhere in the water system.

I almost posted that same link, but really, I'm with you J.R.: The little
accumulator hardly seemed worth the effort, so I installed a 2 gallon one
in '99. It only lasted about 10 years before developing a leak, so I had
to replace it. To solve the mounting problem, I just cut semi-circles,
with a diameter like the tank, from 2"x4" blocks. Those are screwed to the
floor with long ty-wraps beneath them to fasten around the tank. Q&E.

No, I did not order one; with my 2 gallon accumulator, I have at least a
couple of toilet flushes without the pump running; I doubt that one will
provide even one flush. What it WILL do is prevent the pump from cycling
repeatedly at low faucet flows. If that's enough for your need, then it's
a great buy.
