Water pump
My water pump keeps on running after I shut off the faucet or flush the toilet. I don't see any leaks in the system. Is there a pressure value in the system that I need to check?

If you have an 07 or newer check the fresh water power fill valve setting. You may be pumping back into your holding tank.
Let us know what make and model so we can better help.

The Fresh Water Power Fill valve is located on the convience panel. It is a quarter turn valve you can use to fill the fresh water tank when connected to city water supply.

Look next to the water inlet connection.

You didn't say how long the pump runs after flushing. Mine runs also but only for a few seconds. The pump is triggered to run by a drop in water pressure caused by flushing or turning on a faucet. When the water pressure in the system is built back up to the pumps pressure setting, mine shuts off. This takes a couple of seconds.
Is this the scenario you have?

also if the valves have trash in them the pressure sensor calls for the pump to run

You may have air in your lines...I had that happen and the pump keeps working. I went into the shower and opened the taps and let it run until you hear the preasure pick up, then I shut them off. Pump stopped running...this may not be your problem though!

Thanks to everyone for your help. I pulled the pump and will see if a repair shop can do a performance test.
