My ATO pump runs dry all the time for several years, and it's still working great. It just gets air locked when it runs dry. As above, just whack it on the bottom of the bucket a few times.

Otherwise, if it really is dead the replacement pumps are only $25 new. Most LFS should have them in stock.

Update!

Tried method as suggested by both Blink & Myka and i am pleased to confirm that it worked. The pump has been working since.

A sincere Thank You to both Blink & Myka for the tip.

Cheers.
