My home is 9yrs old and I think my sump pump pressure switch is going bad. The pump is running more frequently and for longer priods of time. The pit is dry and the pump continues to run for a minute or so. I think I am just going to replace the pump. Is a pressure switch or a mechanical float switch more reliable? My home also has two sump pits. The drain tile drain in one pit and then there is a overflow pit. My main sump pump is located in the overflow pit. Is this correct? I always thought the sump should be in the main pit and the overflow pit was for a backup pump. Hooked-up this way the drain tile are always full of water. Correct? Should I move the sump pump to the other pit?
Thank You
