Why is the sump out of water?
Leaking? Drain to sump clogged? Have you been adding water to replace the evaporated water? The first thing that comes to mind is that the system is low on water and the sump would be the 1st do run dry if the system is low on water. |

if the overflow isn't draining into the sump then I would check for anything stuck in your pluming, I don't know what your plumbing set up is but that is the only explanation I can think of. is your return pump sucking air? if so turn it off and restore the drain. your lucky your display hasn't been overflowed
