Submersible Sump

Submersible Sump
My sump pump runs every 40-50 seconds. How can I solve this problem in order not to burn?

I have a submersible pump (1 / 2 hp) with a float to the outside (it seems that there is a switch on the side of the pump that starts to blow on it). When I unplug the pump, the water stops flowing in at the drain pipe and stops completely. When I look outside the house, the PVC pipe runs underground for about 30 feet until it reaches a large puddle in the backyard which inflates when the pump is running, then decreases when it goes off. I have a partial unfinished basement with a small lake ~ 1 / 2 acre away. The housing of the pump itself seems to be deep in the well as opposed to previous homes I've owned (~ 7.10 inches below the water leak). I'm worried that at a time of crisis (heavy rain) that the burnout pit, because it runs too often, when the weather is dry. I am new to the house we moved in ~ two weeks ago. We live in northern Illinois. Any help would be appreciated!

If I understand you correctly, it looks like water reached a level at this location and current weather conditions. Sounds like you can afford to raise the float a few centimeters. Another thing can trigger cycles of the pump is often whether it resides in a small diameter hole and has two no-return valve or debris that prevent backflow valve. In this situation, a certain volume of water in the execution reamining flow back into the hole and triggers the float, either immediately shortly after the normal flow of underground water seeps in. You can add a second pump. There are even those 12-volt battery provides the car and climb over your existing one. If the power outage, it can run "or if you have the power, but there is too much water for the primary, it can help when she water rises.
