Mo,

If you amend that to read "volume over time", I agree.
His problem is old lime-choked plumbing in his building is restricting the water flow, which is all-important to this style of unit. The accumulator will place a low-restriction, adequate-volume supply close to the device, which should allow it to perform as intended.
