water pump running frequently

I am visiting hull 461 in Kingston Canada. The water pump will run frequently for a few seconds without using any faucets. Can not find answer in our archives.
Checked all hose connections and the water heater.
Any thoughts for a fix on this issue ?

We have hull #467 and the water pump "burped" every few minutes when there was no water usage. Our dealer couldn't figure it out, so we contacted the mfg. He answered us immediately, on a Sunday no less, and said it was a check valve and sent it to us. It's been replaced and works perfectly....
Our pump is an AquaKing 12V, model 3901-0206; 3gph. The model is on the label affixed to the pump motor.
Here is his contact info :

Well, after posting our fix last year with a check valve from the mfg, we are again getting a "burp" every minute or so whether we've recently used the water faucet or haven't used it at all. What's the process of elimination to see what is causing this "burp"? Thanks much!
