This is another thought. Seven pumps in ten years is very unusual. At least one of those should have lasted many of those years. This makes me think there's some common problem making them burn out prematurely.
The chief suspect would be the check valve. I've seen this senario many times. The check valve is faulty, and the water runs back after the pump shuts off, filling the pit and making for a continuous recycling of the pump.
Maybe you're just unlucky with sump pumps, but do you notice something that looks suspicious?
