    hey guys.. first I want to thank you so very much for the info on the static switches for my sump pump. however, one of my pumps is in a normally “dry” area and twice now, while the switch goes on, the pump doesn’t pump until I unplug it for a second, and then replug it. its vapor locking. I could use some advise. thanks again. you guys are super, super SUPER.

    Set the float switch so that more water enters before it kicks in. Sounds like it engages too soon and is sucking air
