    fresh water pump cycling

    My water pump does pump water from the fresh water tank but when water faucet is not on, the pump runs on and off every five seconds. I've checked for water leaks and found none. I removed the clear filter basket to check for a clog, found it clear. Any suggestions? Thank you.

    I found the breaker with the reset button. But it will not reset. When I push the button in, it just springs back out. I guess it should be replaced but I can find only the breakers that auto reset. Do you think it would be ok to replace the manual reset breaker with the auto reset version?
