the waste pipe for my sump pump disconnected last night and I have 3
inches of water in my basement. I managed to reconnect the pipe, my
question is how long can I have my pump run continuously before it
needs a break. It's a small pump.


Just let it run. If it is a decent pump, it can go for many hours, maybe
days. We run pumps here for 24 x 5 for years.



24 hours a day? Do you live in a bayou?
