for the pump to activate the pressure has to drop... if you haven't used any water the pressure shouldn't drop enough to cycle the pump... meaning there is something leaking... as stated in a earlier post the check valve could be leaking water back into the FWT or there is a leak that is worth tracking down... both scenarios are pretty common...


Agree - you need to find a leak. Pump shouldn't cycle on a regular basis at all.

Lots to think about! Thank you for all the responses.

I have been all over the trailer except one space under the fridge and have found no leaks. Although we do have the outside shower, it's never been used or opened, though I guess that doesn't mean as much in a four year old trailer. That's where I go next.

Don't forget to check your water heater, could be the drain/anode rod leaking around the threads on the outside too. That was my solution when I had the same thing happen, ended up wrapping a bit of teflon tape around the threads, re-tightening, and no more problem.

The title of this thread reminds me of a stay in a motel down south a few years back. Called the front desk and said, "I got a leak in my sink." The guy said, "Go ahead."
