I may be purchasing a Wayne 3/4 hp sump pump from Amazon.com. I am

how much noise a 3/4 hp unit might make? Does the extra quarter hp
make much of a difference in noise and output?


Unless your current sump pump has had problems keeping up, it isn't a
real smart idea to go bigger. A larger horsepower pump will cycle on
and off more often causing it to wear out sooner.

Not quite following the reasoning why a bigger one will cycle more often...
