Well due to the weather forcast and the fact that I have ledge in my back yard I scrambled yesterday and last night to trench and install the perforated pipe and gravel along the back hill that is notorious for waterfalls (though not intentional).
Well I didn't finish all of it and dont have the pit installed yet, but I do have a 2 foot deep pit with a sump pump.
So my question is this would it be normal for the sump to turn on for 5 seconds and off for 1 minute then repeat constantly?
(no the water is not coming back through the discharge pipe)
Did I do too good a job diverting the water or is my pump to powerfull?
It's a 1/2 HP rigid with vertical float......HMMM, should I use a tether style float to limit the cycle time?
Suggestions.....
