For a basement water pump that controls the toilet, shower and sink--- does it always have to stay plugged in and running??? I heard it make a weird noise and shut it off immediately.. Any help appreciated!!!
No this is normal when you flush it should come on
Most of the time when you use water a large amount the pump will come but should shut off after a reasonable amount of time. When the set pressure is achieved it will shut off. And when the pressure drops it will turn on and the pressure will drop when using water.
