Do this. *What is the make and model of the pump. *Go to google, then
click on "images" at the top, and find a picture of your pump. *Post the

Agree. How can anyone know exactly what kind of
pump he has? But one thing is likely. If it's intended
to be adjustable, the instructions would say how to do
so. He could also check the manufacturer's website
for FAQ, etc.

Also, important questions are how much water it removes
on each cycle compared to the old one? It could be running
more because it removes less water each cycle. Or it could
be running more because it's maintaing the water level
lower than the old pump. If it's the latter and the float switch
isn't adjustable, he could set the pump up higher.
