Fill your fresh water tank and use PUMP only
Do not stay connected to city water all the time
Hear me out.
Used to just use city water.
Fresh water tank and pump where for when no city water and while traveling
Then early one morning woke up to flooded living room & kitchen
$.50 fitting on water heater failed (cracked from over-tightening).
City water ran for hours while we were asleep.
$6000 PLUS in damages/costs
Fresh water tank and pump only.
Then we can hear if/when pump cycles alerting us to an issue
And we can EASILY turn pump off at switch when we go outside/leave or go to bed
Sure I could walk out to hose bibb and turn city water off but who does that when you are going to bed ?????
As for pump cycling when connected to city water
Sounds like faulty pump pressure switch
More then likely you have a SHurflo Classic 2088 Model water pump....NUWA OEM
That pump was discontinued several years ago.
Any pump or parts for that pump available will be 'NOS' (normal OLD stock) been sitting around for years
Just replace pump with a SHurflo 4008 Model (3 gpm/55 psi)
X2 I have been full time RVing for over 4 years now and never use the city water hook up. I turn the pump on when I need water and shut it off when I dont. No surprises. I have seen my share of water falls coming out of un attended RVs over the years.
