The check valve stops discharged water from flowing back into the pit. Here is the Rialto guide.
What it does
The check valve closes after each pump cycle so the water in the line does not drain back.
The failure
A failed valve makes the pump run repeatedly, re-pumping the same water.
The fix
The valve is a small inline part that is straightforward to replace.
The call
A new valve saves the pump. Call 888-217-3585 and Rialto Home Plumbing Co will match you with a Rialto pro.
