We built our home in 2006/07 & replaced the original sump pump in June of last year. The second sump pump (Wayne model CDUCAP850 - 1/2 HP with Switch Genius Technologyâ„¢ Cast-Iron Pump) has a "Switch Genius" instead of a float that turns the pump ON but, some times, not OFF even though the water level is low. Most of the time it works but once or twice a week it will not shut off. Until discussing this with our local Do-It-Best center, I hadn't noticed that the softener drains into the sump pump well & may be causing the problem. NOTE: I have cleaned the switch several times (even between softener cycles) using a brush but to no avail.
I would guess that we have a few of options. Find another way to drain the softener, purchase a sump pump designed to work with softener brine or a new Pedestal Sump pump.
Any thoughts?
