Fresh water pump problem.

[Dan50]

I have an Elkridge 34QSRL and am having a problem with the water pump. The pump comes on when any faucet is opened or the toilet flushed. There seems to be a lot of air in the line at times so you would think that it is sucking air on the intake line or a leak on the output. Water pressure is not that great either. The thing is that the pump will shut off when the faucet is shut off and hold pressure. It does not cycle quickly like it is losing pressure when shut off and has to build it back up again. Sometimes it will not shut off unless you open up both faucets to get a strong flow then shut them of. The pump will then build pressure and shut off and hold pressure. I'm thinking that if I have a leak anywhere then the pump would not shut off and hold pressure. Suggestions or ideas?

make sure your inline filter is on tight and check all the connections before the pump- it might be sucking in some air.

If it was sucking air why will it shut off and hold pressure?

make sure your inline filter is on tight and check all the connections before the pump- it might be sucking in some air.
