Water pump runs

You may have an in-line water filter located next to the pump which you may want to check. These little plastic filter housing are removable to clean out any debris and it may have not been screwed on tight.

A couple of times mine has sucked up some kind of tiny piece of debris - or at least I think it has, and acts like you describe. After taking it apart and rinsing all the parts off, it starts behaving again.

Could be pump...could be a clamp at any water connection on supply side...or could be a leak in-between...BUT find it quick.

Good thing your using your water pump and not city water. City water doesn't make noise and its supply is a lot more than your tank.

I would start with hot/cold water connection at sinks and bath and back of shower and out side faucet if you have one. Then pump diaphragm. Then all other easy connections to see and feel. You might even have to install shut off valves to isolate the line giving you problems.

That's enough to keep busy for awhile. If you still can't find it PM me and we'll go to step 2.

I would bet you have a small leak someplace. Not noticeable to you but the pump knows. Look around run your hand over the water fittings I bet you come up with a tiny leak someplace.

Water pump is on demand. Mine did the same thing about every 20 minutes for maybe a second. Found the builder ran a screw through a wall into a hot water line. Didn't see evidence of the leak for several days.
