sump pump question
It appears as though mine has decided to run 24/7. Anything it could
be that I might be able to take care of on my own, or should I just bite the bullet and call for a plumber. Fix or replace the switch. First, check to see that the float is not just gummed up with tree roots or mud or whatever. Have you checked to see if it still floats or sinks with the water level, and won't shut off even with the float hanging down? |

Howdy, About two years ago we had more than 18" of water in our basement because of a "stuck float." Now, we have two pumps each with a switch that has no moving parts. The switches work like a charm. Check http://www.washerwatcher.com/sump_watcher.htm All the best, -- Kenneth If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS." |
