As all Simer users know, they are not run dry protected. I’m usually always well aware of when my pumps are running and I can hear a distinctive sound difference when the sacs are empty. Well yesterday I must have had a few to many and I had the music up and I forgot that my locker sac was draining. About 10 minutes after the sac had drained I realized the switch was still on and I thought for sure I had burned up the pump. My only hope was that it blew the inline 30 amp fuse. Sure enough the fuse was blown, so I swapped fuses with my other pump and it still works! I still need to test it out on the water to make sure the impeller is OK, but at least the pump still runs. Has anyone had this happen to them? Was the impeller OK?
