Ok, I will take a shot at this one.
If the heater works fine when hooked to city water, in my mind it would support that you have a flow issue when using your water pump when not hooked to the city supply.
This is likely a result of the water pump cycling on and off and that is affecting the flow rate thru the heater. These heaters require a minimum flow rate to stay lite.
As a test, try opening a second faucet when using the pump and see if you get an improvement. If you do, you could have a restriction in the aireator if this condition is limited to a certain faucet.
The other possible solution is to increase the pump cut out pressure , so it continues to run during a demand, instead of cycling on and off to try to maintain the pressure.
