    If this happens only while water is being used, then you have a waterlogged tank. Press the little tire valve on top of the tank for a few seconds. If water comes out, then you have found the problem.

    If this happens when water is NOT being used, then you have a leak somewhere, probably in a checkvalve.

    BTW, is your pump in the well or above ground?
