What happens if i forget to top up my water feature and my pump runs dry?
This will depend on whether your pump has a thermal safety switch or not. Quality pumps such as Oase will have a thermal safety switch built in, this is a safety mechanism that will turn the pump off and protect it if it overheats. Pumps without a thermal safety switch will traditionally burn themselves out when they are run dry and overheat, once this occurs you will notice a warping of the pump at which point the pumps will no longer work, are irrepairable and would not be covered under warranty.
