does this pump have an internal protector in case it overheats ?

I do not know but I have not had to use this pump. I bought it because I thought the other one I had quit working - I have had the original for over 10 years and run it almost constantly at least 10 weeks per year. This one I bought last year is my back up. But I have not had to use it.

yes I believe so and a timer on it so does not run all the time and a surge/tripper protector still runs great when it rains hope this helps

Im not sure of it has an internal protector, BUT it does have a timer on it that you can use. I havent had it overheat on me yet and its in use all the time. Sorry my answer doesnt really give you what you want

Yes, it is self-priming in my application. That is, with an above ground pool that utilizes an in-wall pump inlets and outlets. Hope this helps.

The first one I had would but the second one got hot and never worked again. I would still recommend this pump. It's a hard worker and one bad one won't keep me from buying another.

No. Mine only had the pump itself. There is no case and you have to purchase the pumping system separately.

No. It is a threaded fitting with an o-ring. Used many times without any problems. Mine came with a shield to protect it from direct heat from burner.

I haven't replaced the pump. The pump itself isn't noisy, but it makes the electrical cords for the pump and heater rattle because the design is very poor. Instead of having an opening in the part of the top that the water pours into that would allow the cords to run outside, instead they run through it. This makes me hate the item.

There is plastic inside and the friction creates heat. I think it relies on the liquid being pumped to cool it down and not melt the plastic. I would not use it to pump anything more then luke warm.I pumped more than 100 gal of heavy liquid 8' high in few hours and it's still working.

Yes, you are right. It has water sensors. If there is no water to touch the sensors, the pump will not start. Thanks for your interest.

There shouldn't be any protective plugs. As long as you have a good connection on the valve with your pump, air should be going into the tube. Often the pump will have a small lever on the connector. Make sure that is open when you attach the connector, then close it on top.

Yes, but I opted to not do that, just in case the main pump failure was caused by an external obstruction. I also ran the suction pipe separate from the primary so no matter what part of the primary system fails I have a backup.

Nothing will happen to it, it will be fine. It may get a little warm but that is ok. Hope it answered your question. It's a great pump. Nearly indestructible. I am on my 2nd one had the first one for 8 years and used it constantly. Highly reccommend this pump.

Yes, I stored mine away after the first summer and haven't found it to this day!!!! I looked up the spec's and ordered one on line. They are very inexpensive. The cord is attached to the pump.

No - But I don't think you have to worry about over pressurizing with this pump...

There should be a dial on the pump itself. If not, put a kink in the return hose.

No, it does not. However, it is a great unit. I bought one last year and it works a lot better than the Rule pump it replaced, and it's a lot quieter.

No, it does not. I have come in on a Monday, to discover I left it on over a weekend, several times. That said, this has never caused a problem, for me. I haven't ever had anything located near it become overheated.

I am not sure if this pump has "rubber impellers" or "plastic impellers" I do know that the first time I used this pump it was pumping water great, I left if over night and when I came back the next morning the pump was burned up. I believe this was from pumping air.
