I have a Shurflo water pressure pump in the camper and while out camping recently it would keep priming every 15mins. There are no leaks I could find and the prime is only half a second. Anyone else have a pressure pump which keeps doing this? Is this normal?

I have had the camper for a few years now and if I left the power on to the pump overnight it would prime up in the early hours of the morning as things got cold and I could understand that but this constant half second "brrrrb" sort of ruins the quiet of sitting around a camp fire. My solution was to turn the power on and off as we needed water but that seems to defeat the point of a pressure pump - ready to go.

Cheers
