When I first turn on the water system it pumps to pressure and holds. Once I use the water and stop, it just keeps pumping and appears to over pressure the system. I then have to shut it off and wait a while before being able to turn it on and have it work properly again.

Thoughts please?
 
Sounds like the integrated pressure switch is failing or needs adjusted. Depending on the model type, there is an adjustment screw on the bottom of the unit.

I planned to adjust the setting this weekend. When I turned on the water system it worked and has been working perfectly all weekend under heavy use. Whoop, Whoop! Great to know what to do if the gremlins come back. Thank you for your help!
