water problem

reenmt

Water flows nonstop into my sump pump 24hours a day every day. I've burned out several pumps. Where is this water coming from?

Have you turned off your house water supply at the property entrance and watched the meter numbers change over a time period?

Be safe, Gary

Your house may be built on a swamp or else on a spring!

Usually a good pump will last for years, ever if running continuously.
Stopping and starting is harder on a motor than continuous running.
If the pump bearings are run continuously, they may sieze up and burn out the motor.
Perhaps a pump with a greater rate of flow would be a good idea. It would quickly draw down the water level and allow parts to cool. That, or install two pumps!
