Michael Petruccelli says; Test Your Sump Pump
Slowly pour several gallons of water
into the sump pit to see whether the pump turns on. You should do this every
few months, but especially after a long dry season or before a rainy one.
For more complete instructions for testing and maintenance, check your owner’s manual. Most sump pumps last about ten years.
