We have been having a lot of rain & snow melt that fills my sump (about 20" dia) rapidly.
I'm using a Zoeller M53 that starts about every 28sec. Cycle is 14sec pump out + 14sec refill.
The float allows about a 5" reduction of water height & then shuts off for the refill of the sump.
The cycle time will become less over the next couple of days as the flooding diminishes.
My question is: Am I using the right kind of pump? What are my options?
Seems like I may be significantly reducing the life of this pump or at least the on/off switch with about (2) starts per minute.
