Sump Plastic Pump Running Non-Stop

When a sump Plastic Pump(KEXON) runs continuously or too often, regardless of the weather conditions or season, it's a sign of a problem that needs to be addressed immediately, before the overworked pump burns out. Here are the most common causes of a sump pump on overdrive: Stuck sump pump switches - Especially in cheaper models, the float switch can become clogged or tangled. In some cases, the vibrations of a running sump pump can cause it to lean on the edge of the pit or liner, disabling the sump pump switch.
Sump pump and/or liner is too small or too big - The sump Plastic Pump may just not be big enough to handle the job, so it runs continuously to keep up. Or the pump is powerful enough but the sump pit may be too small, causing it to fill up too fast and triggering the sump pump to work overtime. In the industry, we call this a short-cycling sump pump.
The check valve is missing or broken. - Because the sump Plastic Pump is installed below grade, the discharge line is initially pitched at an upward angle so it can channel water up and away until it reaches an exit point; it is then pitched downward, using gravity to discharge water outside the home. The check valve in the line plays a crucial role, preventing water from coming back into the pit before it reaches the apex. A broken or missing check valve can result in one-third to two-thirds of the water to flow right back into the pit! And that will overwork the pump.
Continually flooding sump pit. - In rare cases, there is a continuous flow of water into the sump pit due to a high water table or an underground spring. If the water table is too high, raising the sump pit a bit may help. Upgrading the system or installing an extra sump pump in another corner of the basement can also help. Individual inspection of the basement is usually needed to diagnose and develop an effective drainage solution.
