Motors/pumps are made to run 24/7/365. I have one that hasn't shut off in over 18 years so far. Some wells clean up in a few hours, some take days. Sometimes you have to turn the pump off for a short while and turn it on again to stir up the sediment to get it out.
OH and BTW, NEVER shut a pump off while it is making lots of sediment. It may bind up and not start the next time. Let it clean up as much as possible before turning it off.
I have 2 freezers, first thing I do is remove the temperature probe so they have been running 24/7/365 for over 20 years now. -10F and quiet as a kitten. Like your pump, most don't understand that at all. Very large piston air compressors are often run continuously with an unloader valve, but that is an expensive dodge if not a large industry running non stop.
