Fresh Water Pump recycling

My fresh water pump keeps coming on every few minutes. No water is leaking into the bilge. The water pressure at the faucet does not appear to drop. When I switch to my backup water pump it has the same result. I have searched everywhere for leaking water and find nothing. Coul it be an air leak on the intake side?

Thanks. I have a set of valves that allow me to switch from one pump to a backup pump. The cycling continues when I switch from one pump to the other. I thin it unlikely that they both failed in the same way at the same time. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your suggestion. Actually, I have 2 accumulators tanks in a series. Do you think I should follow your procedure for each separately or just the one closest to the pumps or something else?
