We had a similar problem, but our pump kept running until the head system breaker would turn off. Our mechanical replaced the duck bill valves, checked everything as well, but still had the same problem. It ended up it was just a nasty clog before the tank. He had a hell of a time getting it...

Somewhat "solved" the problem. This is only an issue when connected to dock water. I connected to dock water because my pump would not shut off, so I replaced the pressure switch, and after numerous adjustments to the diaphragm set points, the pump is now operating correctly. Now I need to...
