We recommend testing your sump pump 3x a year at the change of seasons: spring, summer and fall.

First, ensure power is running to the outlet and your sump pump is plugged in. Then, grab a 5 gallon bucket of water and pour it into the pit. This should raise the water level, lift a float, and turn the sump pump on. If your home is prone to loss of electricity, you could be a great candidate for a battery backup sump pump with alarm system.
