Thinking caps on?

[Terry Neal]

Sounds like the Sporlan valve Ralph. If no leaks anywhere else, the
pump is cycling on to bring the pressure back up to it's set point for
the system. Just a thought, but did you check the relief valve on the
water heater? It may be weak?

Is there a pressure switch on the pump head? Can the output pressure be
adjusted at all? Is this one of those new pumps that doesn't have or
need an accumulator? If so, let us know how you like it. I am thinking
about one for my coach.

Now that Todd Jones found Tweetys.com for us, I saw that they carried
that new pump too. Maybe a good deal from them on one?
