Pressure tanks are HIGHLY recommended if a pump is being installed with your rainwater harvesting system. Pressure tanks should be installed downstream from a pump and are manufactured to hold air pressure against an internal bladder that expands when water enters (from pump). The air pressure then holds the water pressure -- the bigger the pressure tank, the more water held at pressure. The pressure tank will then reduce the frequency at which the system's pump turns on -- instead of the pump turning on every time a tap is opened, the water draws first from the pressure tank bladder. Pressure tanks, therefore, prevent short-cycling of pump operation, help extend the life of the pump, and help hold pressurized water reserves in case of pump failure. 20-gallon pressure tanks are a perfect and affordable size for most applications. However, if you are relying on rainwater for your sole water supply, you may want to consider upgrading to a larger-sized pressure tank.
