I poured a bucket of water into the basement sump pit to test the pump. It kicked on automatically, hummed smoothly for about 30 seconds, and then clicked off after the water level dropped. The discharge pipe gurgled outside, confirming the check valve is working. No unusual vibrations or odd smells this time.
