what specific part will cause the pump to bump on and off constantly when there are no leaks or water use?

The pressure switch may be sent to low. Adjust it with the screw in the front of the pump head.

Did you try adjusting the switch shut-off screw on the end of the pump. This adjusts the pressure the pump will maintain. My guess is it needs to be turned clockwise if this is the problem. There should be a manual with the unit that has troubleshooting guide.

If it won't brew then it is the water pump. Either it needs to be primed (see advice from others) or it may be faulty. My current one needs to be primed every now and then.

Could be a bad seal in the pump. Do you have an acummulator tank? They smooth out the flow. Leaks can be hard to see/find from the toilet. Coul be a bad switch.

I had the same noise on mine and found out it was the positioning of the pump that was the problem. I had the junction box part of the pump in the 12 o clock position with the pump horizontal. I turned the pump so the that box went to the 6 o clock position and the noise stopped and never came back. It could also be air in the system. Hope this helps. Dave

I can't answer your question, but mine is running for over two years without any glitches on a 1.5 HP filter pump

We had the same problem. Tried to contact the manufacturer and they were no help whatsoever . We were told there is no warentee on the pump at all. It was a very poor product.

Hi, I have never had a problem with the pump. I would say that it was an isolated issue which happens with most products. Mine works incredibly well.

When the water hits a height over the pump the pump turns on. I didn't have good luck with this pump. It stop working correctly with 6 months

Since I don't know when you bought this, it's difficult to answer. I had the same problem with one I bought about three years ago. The problem is the GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) built into the cord. I wound up buying another pump with a completely redesigned GFI and it has been working fine. Evidently, Intex saw there was a problem with the old syle GFI, but didn't tell anybody.

Hello. There is a tiny rubber ball inside the valve that often gets worn. When it gets worn, the water flows back into the pump as soon as it shuts off.

Have you tried usimg that white sealant tape on the connections you have to screw on? That is something that is necessary on things like this yet are not usually included. When I bought my pump it used to leak air as well until I used that tape.

There should be a dial on the pump itself. If not, put a kink in the return hose.

This type of switch that I have goes on top of the pump. In order of this switch to work the pump has to be cover with water and some more until the switch gets turned on. What you could try to do is some how bolt this small clamp to the floor. That way once the switch gets cover with water and the switch rises it will turn on. If you do it try to get screws that don't rust so easy. Remember the more slack you give the more it will delay for the switch to turn on. I will also try to make a small deeper hole for this switch so you can collect even more water.

Hey Zandersmom,One suggestion is to replace the impeller, sometimes debris from the water column will get in between the rubber and the socket that the impeller sits in and throws off the alignment. Mine used to make a loud rattling noise, it was very annoying. Once I replaced the impeller, all was quite again. If everything else is intact and there are no operational issues, my best guess, its the impeller. Hope this helps.TG

There is a sound of either the fan or the pump after you turn off the unit by hand. This is normal as the unit de- ices or continues to pump water from the tank if you have the self drain hose hooked up.

It may not be the switch. You may have a leak somewhere or the bladder in your tank may be damaged. If you don't have a tank that the pump pumps into, I would get one, that should solve your inconsistent pressure problem. Also, if it is an older well, the point on the bottom of the pipe in the well, where it enters the aqua-fore may be clogged with minerals (if so, you will need a new well dug). The switch is a very economical place to start though. Good Luck!

Sounds like there is some type leak in your system where the pump has to keep trying to pump water because it can't make a complete seal when it tries to shut off. Wish I could give you a better answer.
