This is a home we just moved into and it appears to run almost constantly. This does not seem normal to me.
What can be the problem? Someone mentioned a float that is sticking.

Hello Fricsay,

First, clean the pit and pump. Open the lid, take garden hose and thoroughly hose down the pit walls and pump. Scoop up any debris that are left on the bottom. As the pit is filling up, watch the pump to go through several cycles. Look for abnormalities in operation.

Back to you. Milo
