Osmolator feed pump died.....
My reservoir dried up and now the pump doesn't seem to want to pump water. It makes a noise but no water is pumped. Do these feed pumps die if they run dry?

I've had that happen before. Mine runs dry a lot because I always forget to refill my reservoir. It's probably just air traped inside the pump. I usually just get the air out by shaking it inside the water for a bit while it's trying to pump the water, and it usually starts back up. Roger might know of a better way to get the air out to get it started.
