Sump pump issues
Well it's at it again. We got a new sump pump and now it's doing the
same thing the old one was doing. The water level in the pit is low, but high enough to trip the pump. That's fine the pump starts, and pumps out some wayer ( needs to go 7' vertical than out the discharge). Problem is, that 7 feet is enough to empty the pit enough so the pump shuts off. I can only assume the check valves don't work, because the pit fills up enough again to restart the pump. This happens every 2 minutes or less. It is just recycling the same water over and over. The electric company will love me Any ideas on how to fix this? Thsi is our THIRS check valve. I can not imagine these are designed so poorly. The checl valves are made by Flotec. The pump is a Rigid brand that was purchased at Hiome Depot about a year ago. Chris |
