No. Damage caused by running an Aquascape pump dry is generally not covered under the manufacturer's limited warranty because it results from improper operation rather than a manufacturing defect.
Running a pump without sufficient water can cause overheating and damage internal components.
To help prevent dry-running damage:
- Maintain an adequate water level.
- Keep the pump intake clear of debris and obstructions.
- Ensure water flows freely into the pump.
- Never operate the pump without sufficient water.
If your pump stops working after running dry, the cause of the failure must be evaluated to determine warranty eligibility.
