Pump stops and shows DRY RUN or DRY; pump basket is mostly empty of water.

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker. Running a pump dry can quickly damage seals and the impeller.

• Restore water level:
  • Fill the pool to proper level (mid-skimmer opening).
• Open all suction valves:
  • Verify Jandy suction valves are fully open to at least one main drain or skimmer.
• Clean baskets and check for blockages:
  • Clean skimmer baskets and the Jandy pump strainer basket.
  • Inspect the skimmer throat and main drain for visible obstructions.
• Check for air leaks:
  • Inspect and lubricate the pump lid O-ring.
  • Tighten suction-side unions and fittings.
• Re-prime the pump:
  • Fill the pump housing with water, reinstall lid, open valves, and restart.
• If DRY returns: There may be a suction line leak or underground blockage. Have a pool professional perform pressure testing and further diagnostics.
