Hi,

I just bought this sump pump about 2 months ago. Its constantly running, but its not pumping out any water.

Is there a significant stand of water in the pit? Do you see the float switch and how to adjust that float? Tell us or show a picture about your sump pump pit.

Yes there the is a significant amount of water in the pit. I have been manually emptying it. The pump is a Rigid, with a float. If I move the float it stops, but as soon as I let go it starts to run again, but does not pump out the water.

You are still under warranty so I think taking it back is in order. A sump pump running, under water, should pump a great deal of water the moment it turns on. Have you insured that the intake is not clogged with debris or mud?

Thanks, Where would the intake be?

Bottom side of the pump or a inlet ring with a screen around the lowest circumference of the pump.

Thanks, I will check it

Also check the discharge pipe to make sure that it is not clogged.
