It's designed to do a 10 second run when powered on, says so in the manual also. It's totally normal, if it's adding to much to your return chamber during this feature open up the head unit and turn down the flow.
That is the one thing I do not like about the unit ( the only thing I don't like about it =). On my old smaller tank I would undo one of the pump clips when I started it back up to let it run through its cycle and not pump any water . I also used both magnets it came with so the high level alarm was a little farther away then having both sensors on the same magnet.
