Hi, Yes, the impeller in the Aqua-Flo pump must be surrounded by water to operate properly. Running it dry, even briefly, can cause serious damage by overheating the shaft seal (like the #1000 seal, part #92500050), warping the impeller, and reducing the pump’s overall lifespan. Water is essential for both cooling and lubrication, so always ensure the pump is fully primed before use.
