Maybe it shouldn't have, but the pump would cycle periodically when no water was in use, and it didn't do it after I capped the tank.
I agree that it shouldn't have made any difference, but it sure was a coincidence. :) I didn't do anything else, just the cap. Go figure.
We use city water 99% of the time, so I suppose if you use the water pump a lot, a small loss of pressure over time could certainly occur as things expand and contract.
Had to be a coincidence.
Fresh water tank is suction side of pump.
Pump cycling is triggered by pressure switch on discharge side of pump
Is your fresh water tank really, really full? :B
