The more the furnace runs the more the pump runs. No chance to hear the pump while the furnace is running.
Someone asked for a link to an earlier recirculation project:
Hot water recirculator to prevent freezing of lines
So OP will be using both the water heater and furnace while on the road? Sounds a little tricky, but it might work.
