We are no strangers to sump pumps! There have been periods of over 12 months where the sump pump was running every day. VERY high water table here.
One thing I discovered is, with our soil, I had to extend the drain farther out. The water used to go about 40 feet away, then get discharged onto the ground.

Still, our poor little pump chugs out about 1,600 gallons of water every 3 hours (currently). And we haven't even had our first good rainfall of the year yet! :shock:
