When does a water pump run for no reason?
The article WATER PUMP INTERMITTENT CYCLING – topic home lists reasons that a water pump may appear to run for no apparent reason, or at intermittent times when you think no water is being run in the building.

When to turn off the water pump in an RV?
RV water pumps should turn on every time you flush the toilet or turn on a faucet. If after you complete your tasks and turn off the water, and the pump continues to run and run, your RV water pump is likely leaking somewhere. The first thing to do is check for a broken check valve. This valve tells the water pump when to stop.

How can I tell if my water pump is working?

What happens if a water pump goes out on a Road Glide?
Unlike the air cooled engines, apparently there are passages in the wet head that are very thin and can be damaged if ridden too far with a faulty pump. Been a year and no problems, but if it goes out again, won’t chance it. IIRC, they had a bad source for pumps, and rectified the problem.
What happens when a water pump loses Prime?
The internal components of a pump depend on the fluid flowing past them to keep them cool. If the pump loses prime, then the water inside of the pump casing can get extremely hot (due to the friction of the impeller) and eventually turn to steam.
How can you tell if a water pump is running too hot?
But if the pump feels hot to the touch (be careful) or you see steam, then it is running too hot. This applies only to the wet end. Electrical motors will feel hot to the touch even under normal conditions as most run at an ambient temperature of 40 degrees C, which is over 100 degrees F. This will feel hot to the touch.
