Determining if this sump pump is wired correctly, the pump is in a small well that goes about 12 ft. deep that collects ground water (clay), there’s a gfci junction box nearby with a conduit that leads to about ft below the surface of the of the hole. The extension cord is connected directly to the gfci receptacle and other end in the hole with a hanging receptacle for pump to plug into. This set up seems like if the pump or float malfunctions the rain/ pool water would submerge the hanging receptacle popping the gfci compared to if possible switch it one long cord that plugs in to the gfci above the ground.
Thoughts this setup on what’s code. Thanks
