Water Pump Running

[NDCYCLONE]

Our new 3010 seems to have and issue with the water pump. on our maiden voyage we ran into issues with the pump locking up. We ran the pump all day and it would turn on and off with the faucets. The next morning we had no water. When i went under to figure out the problem the pump motor was very hot and with a light tap it began to run again. The system pressures up then the pump slows way down but does not shut off completely.. It turns very slowly all the time and then seems to over heat. Anyone know what could cause this? I have not found any leaks.

A water pump will run when there is a leak. Keep looking.

Likely a failed pressure switch in the pump. Sounds like a warranty replacement is in order.

Our 3010's have a variable speed pump. Sounds like you either have a leak or the pump is bad (pressure switch).

A bad switch will allow the pump to run slowly and with enough of a load so that it will overheat and shut down.

Now that Duane mentions that you have a variable speed pump, I'm more inclined toward a leak. Possibly a bad check valve leaking back into the tank.
