    Sump pump float switch under inlet

    I had to replace my pump and was limited to the orientation of how the pump sits in the sump. The manual says not to put the float switch directly under the water inlet. Mine is 0retty close to directly under it. Why is this discouraged? Should I try to reconfigure my set up?
