Welcome to the forums.

It was tough reading without any punctuation, but it sounds like you just need your water level is alittle too low from that initial leak. I'd suggest making sure it has enough water.

The surging of the pump is caused when the jet pump sucks in air. As it looses pressure, the pressure switch circuit opens, and turn off the heater. As soon as the pump regains it's prime and begins pushing water, the pressure switch closes, and this cycle repeats endlessly.

Add water, clean your filter[s], and check the filter area for anything that might obstruct water flow.
