Are the pipes you use for drinking water the same as the pipes we use for bathing water?
Yes, the same pipes that supply drinking water to your sink also supply water to your bathtub, toilet, washing machine, exterior spigots, etc.
What can cause short on-off bursts of the pump when water is drawn inside the house but normal operation when using an outside hose?
In most cases the pipes that feed exterior spigots are lower than those in your home interior faucets. Air can get into the lines and when it does it rises to the upper plumbing fixtures.
