My well pump comes on intermittently when no water is running. It stays on for a few seconds, then shuts off. This happens (maybe) once every couple or 3 hours. I called a plumber to look into the issue; he replaced an outdoor spigot and pipe. It reduced the number of times the pump comes on, but didn't eliminate it.
NOW, the same thing happens when CERTAIN FAUCETS are used. I turn on the faucet in the bathroom or kitchen and the pump comes on for a few seconds, then goes off. Obviously, the pressure varies when that happens, too.
It DOES NOT happen when the washer is used, or the shower, or the toilet. I don't know if it cycles on and off when the dishwasher is used, or not.
FYI, in 2009 I had to have a new water softener and hot water heater installed. At that same time, a whole house water filter was installed.
Does anyone have any ideas regarding what the issue might be? Thanks!
