Hi All. I need some help with my sump pump. We have a standard 1/4 hp mastercraft pedestle sump pump. While the pump is running it seems to eject water from somewhere near the intake. Almost as much as is being pumped out. Is this normal, or should it only be sucking water out of the pit. Second item is there does not seem to a check valve or an air relief hole. How serious are these items? Enough to warrant getting a new sump pump. Oh should I mention that the float arm on occasion (the worst in the middle of the night during spring thaws and rains) seems to stick.
Thanks
