Other than the accelerated wear and tear from the motor running will any damage be done to the pump if it is left on for hours without any water flow? Will it continue to build up pressure and rupture pipes? TIA
A sump pump can run dry for quite a while - a submersible well pump cannot. My understanding from the OP "rupture pipe" was a submersible well water pump.
A sump pump cannot rupture pipes as they dont build pressure.
