Septic tank submersible pump

Hi all, Our submersible pump in our septic tank seems to be on all the time. I can hear it running constantly. Is this normal? Also it’s not standing up but lying on its side at the bottom. I assumed it should only engage when float rises to top with water level. We’ve tried to get it to stand up but it just keeps falling…

Hi all,

Our submersible pump in our septic tank seems to be on all the time. I can hear it running constantly. Is this normal? Also it’s not standing up but lying on its side at the bottom. I assumed it should only engage when float rises to top with water level. We’ve tried to get it to stand up but it just keeps falling to the side.

Should I just leave well enough alone?

I’m sure if it stood up the float switch would work like it’s supposed to. Who’s going to stand it up though that’s the question.
