I also have one of these pumps. I have not had a problem so far. But I did fit a Tank. It made a world of difference. I couldn't understand what the manufacturer was on about in regards to some small hole somewhere in the valving, which eliminated the need for an accumulator. To me, the accumulator is saving the micro switch by reducing the on/off cycle of the switch. It has made a far better job at producing a constant flow of water, instead of the pulse of increase/reducing pressure, especially when through the shower. A tank is most definatly the way to go.
Hope a tank solves your problem, because they seem to be a great pump.
