Yes, we recommend testing the pump every six months to ensure proper functionality.
This is a two-step test. The first step is to test the timer by opening the control box and pressing the manual button once so the timer displays the ON mode. The pump should run for two minutes and turn off. Press the Manual button three times to have the AUTO mode displayed (without the lightbulb symbol). The second step is to test the Steady Stream water level sensor. Hold the Steady Stream water level sensor housing with one hand while pulling the sensor up and out of the housing. Tip the senor upside down and the motor will turn on. Flip the sensor upright and the motor should immediately turn off. Firmly push the sensor back into the housing. Make sure the Steady Stream water level sensor is level with or slightly above the air handler hole it is connected to.
