How much air do you put in your accumulator tank? Just below the cut in pressure of the pump?

Yes. So if cut in PSI is 25, with system depressurized, inflate to 23 PSI.

Yes unless you've got really strong lungs to blow into the Schrader valve! 
Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

Yes unless you've got really strong lungs to blow into the Schrader valve! I just asumed that they worked the same as the pressure tank on my well at home. I guess this is one mod I'll pass on. I do mostly CG style camping so unless I start doing a good bit of dry camping I don't need it.

I have a father inlaw that would over inflate it!!
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

The instructions that came with mine said precharge to 20 psi. 23 to 25 would probably be OK. I use a bicycle pump to keep from inflating too quickly.

You only set the pressure once. Mine has been in use for around six years without even checking the pressure. Once set you don't need to mess with it unless something changes.
