Water pump cycling

    Hi all. Another advice thread. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. The water pump (grundfos pm1) which feeds the hot water tank and w load of other pipes in the utility room has started coming on every five minutes or so. It’s obviously more apparent at night but I think it’s the same interval during the day. Every five minutes or so for about 15/20 seconds.
    I’ve checked everywhere for a leak. No running toilets, no taps dripping.
    The system has been in place for four years and it’s underfloor hearing downstairs radiators up stairs.
    Thanks all

    IMO, The bladder in the blue pressure vessel is gone.
    If taking it off your self, just be aware it will be full of water so could be heavy.
    I learned this from experience

    That kink in the flex-pipe to that pressure vessel could be a contributor too.

    The blue one is the pressure cylinder ?
    This was mounted on the wall and then fell off banging that kink in the pipe. It was then remounted. That was a year ago now though. This cycling only started two days ago.
    It seems that this pump is for hot water?
