A sump pump that cycles on and off rapidly is wasting itself. Here is the Visalia guide.
The pit
A pit that is too small or a float set too low causes rapid cycling.
The switch
A mispositioned switch turns the pump on and off in quick bursts.
The fix
Adjust the float or the switch travel so the pump runs full cycles.
The call
Short cycling kills pumps. Call 888-217-3585 and Visalia Plumbing Pros will match you with a Visalia pro.
