I am having some more issues with my El Salvatore home machine.  When I turn it on everyday, it always activates the vibe pump for a second, then it builds pressure and works like a charm.  Now when I turn it on it activates the pump, turns it off, activates it, turns it off, and so on until I turn it back off.  When I try to brew water when I first turn it on nothing comes out, but the pump is constantly on.

 

This started happening while I was backflushing once, it made a weird noise when I turned the pump off, and then when I turned the pump back on to continue backflushing the pump just continued to run, and not stop like it normally does while backflushing.  I recently had issues with the 3-way solenoid, but it was replaced, so I can't see that being the issue. 

 

Any ideas?  Thanks for any insight you could provide!
