hi there

we had the same problem as you and it turned out to be the flow  control valve under the seat by the water heater or it could just need adjusting for when the amps in your battery start to drop, hope this help

Make sure the microswitch is pushed home fully, if not it will not switch properly. Can you hear it clicking when you turn the tap??

if you have changed all the micro switches one could be faulty and stuck in the on position,or you may not have put the top back correctly and its pressing the switch.

I'd go with the valve adjustment suggestion - fixed ours.

I have only changed microswitch in one tap.  If the other is still faulty does this mean neither will work to stop pump?

any one of the micro switches could be seized in the on position making the pump run,each tap has its own micro switch.

If a pressure switch has been fitted (correctly) and battery is good, disconnect all tap micro switches, adjust pressure switch (with taps off) by turning clockwise until pump starts, turn anticlockwise untill pump stops plus a quarter more, should be fine
