The owner's manual says "Do not allow pump to run dry.The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication.Operating the pump without water will damage theshaft seal and cause pump failure." on page 4.

wayne, it cycles regularly to pole for water present. If there is no water it goes to a wait mode again.

No its does not have on and off switch....This pump is regulated on and off by line pressure.

No. This pump does not come with an on/off switch - but you can hook one up yourself. It has a positive and negative wire coming from the pump.

Yes this pump is "on demand". I have my pump connected to a washtub and toilet. When you turn on the faucet or flush the toilet the pump turns on to provide water and shuts off automatically when the faucet is turned off or toilet fills

Yes it has a little sensor that shuts off the unit when the water level falls below it.

I believe it is actually a float type shut-off located in the black housing attached to the side of the pump. If you don't want the automatic shut-off on, just unplug the cord going to the shut-off portion of the pump. The pump will run continuously when the shut-off portion of the cord is unplugged.

no it doesn't. there is no "default" mode. when the water is turned on it either sprays or streams depending on what mode it was on before the water was turned off. hope this helps.

It automatically turns on and makes sure it can pump the water out. I think it does it monthly or twice a month.

Yes - This has a auto on/off. But it needs to be working for that to work. Mine stopped working in less than 2 weeks. Do not recommend.

No, it does not automatically shut off. The manual actually advises that if the water level gets too low you can burn the pump out. I have two cats drinking from it so top off each day. When I take a trip I leave a big sign for the house setter to remind to top off each day.

No, it is an old fashion pump... you turn on, and it works.... then you turn it off. Works GREAT!

Yes, it has a main power switch on the unit; and also has an switch on the handle which turns the water flow on and off (essentially a 'pause' feature).

yes. when you turn off water it will automatically spring back to sink faucet.

Nope. When turned on again, it comes on in the same mode as when you turned the water off. You can make it come back on as a stream by pushing the button to stream when it is off.

The pump does not have an on/off switch. We have it on a timer connected through the computer software.

The pump has no on / off switch. Bring a 6 'cable that plugs directly over the receptacle. I have it connected to a timer, it works perfect.

Yes, the pump has a float switch which energizes the pump when the reservoir is filled to a certain level.
