Come to think of it a storage tank could prevent premature membrane failure since it is an accumulator which gradually reduces the pressure differential across the membrane during both the initial start and the stop of operation. Systems without a tank would experience a more sudden change which could be harder on the membrane (especially shut off). accumulators are used in hydraulics for similar reasons and to prevent cavitation which can damage various components. So if you're having problems buy a pressure tank
