Hi k sifus, i am facing similar issue now where my water pump wont stop running. Noticed this issue this morning when water is scalding hot but water pressure is still strong.
Have checked all outlet in the house but no leakage. Went to the pump itself and saw leakage at the pump inlet. Does the leakage at the inlet causes the pump to run continuously? Or is there other underlying issue?

If pipe leaking, the leaking would be visible on the lower floor ceiling after few days, if the leaking is in upstairs bathroom. If the leaking is in ground floor bathroom, good luck finding the leak. You might need to hack the wall.

Either leaking or bad valve.

Electricity cost will be much higher too.

Your pump is with pressure tank attach to it?

If so, could be that it require air to be refill into the pressure tank.

If no pressure tank, most likely pressure switch faulty.

H...I have the exact same problem as you. The pump continue to run and the water became hot. But I don't see any leakage at the pump. I am hoping mine is just a faulty switch. If leakage then will be big problem.

Let me know if you solve yours. For now I will just On the pump when I am bathing.

My water pump located on the rooftop. It was already there ever since i bought the house from someone.

I suspected it was broken because water pressure was low. Then suddenly, i jear it is working non stop and water becomes too strong. Should i turn off the water since i cant access the rooftop?
