testing a solenoid

Good morning to all.

I have a Solenoid connected on a Auto fill water line to a swimming pool which should kick in when the water level drops and then stop when it reaches the right water level.

The last solenoid we had on this line seemed to have failed so a new one was purchased and this one as well does not seem to work either.

So could someone please tell me how might i test this device on dry land so to speak, and see it it actually kicks in and out with some current running through it.

There is power coming from the control box, I know that much as the testing light comes on when it is ready to fill the pool and then it promptly blows to 10Amp fuse when the solenoid is suppose to kick in.

It is a 24 volt unit

Thank you in advance

Leon
