Sounds like your pit is not big enough or you need a check valve on your
discharge line.

my sump pump is in an earthen pit and ground water seeps in causing the
electronic float switch to cycle on and off about every 90 seconds. I am
looking for a delay off switch that would delay the pump from turning off
for 10 or 15 seconds so that the of-off cycling would be greatly reduced.
Cannot find such a 'delay' switch / electrical plug. Any ideas?
