My sister in law is getting flooded in out in that Nor'Easter..so some input is really appreciated…they have a sump pump and it's running all the time because their basement is flooded (up to her knees). Is there a technique that will ensure the sump pump doesn't burn out?

It probably won't burn out but I would check that the pump is actually doing some good. It may be that the water is seeking a level and coming in faster than it can be pumped out.
Try turning off the pump to see what the water level does. If it had been doing some good turn it back on and hope for the best.
If the water level remains constant with the pump off, leave it off until it looks like it is starting to decrease and then turn the pump back on to help the process. No sense in taking a chance on harming the pump if it isn't doing any good.

I would go with something that has a constant energy source. Batteries can run out. I prefer electric sump pumps.

I have an orange colored sump pump in my basement and I would love to buy a backup of the same brand for the future but I have no way of finding out what brand it is because it's currently in the sump. My builder installed it and I have no documentation on it. Thanks.

take pic and post it. if not any of the sump pump made today will do a good job. I had one installed last year and it works great
