Q: Which pumps can I run dry?
A: Diaphragm pumps, piston pumps and peristaltic pumps can be run dry for any length of time. Centrifugal dc water pump, rotary vane, and micro gear pumps should not be run dry; exceptions are if the gear or impeller is made of a self-lubricating material such as RYTON in which case the pump can be run for a few minutes while priming.
