your pump should be just fine once the water starts flowing again. You may have run it too long without enough water to cool the seal. If it is leaking water between the Jacuzzi Pump housing and the motor then you will need a new pump seal. Those are common pool parts.
what happens is the pump gets staved for water and this damages the shaft seal, water slowly over time leaks into the motor and pollutes the grease int the bearing and causes it to fail. it's fairly easy fix, just have the motor rebuilt by your local pool pump motor repair guy for about 75.00 and your back up and running. beats paying 200.00 or more for a new motor. the sta rite is the top of the line pump, i have had them in my shop over 40 years old ! ask your motor repair guy how to get the most life out of your pump. knowledge is king .. remember to prime the pump after any pump repair !! .. jay longwood florida
There two plugs on your pump, one one the side of the pot at the bottom and one dead center of the pump housing on the front. this will only drain your pump if you live in cold country and are winterizing you will need to drain all your equiptment filter, heater and any thing else. then you need to drain your pipes and seal them at poolside to keep the water out.
No preventative maintenance is necessary. However, a happy pump always has water above it and should not pump sand. If the water level in the well is below the pump/motor they will overheat. If this is a problem your local pump company can install a module to protect your pump from this type of event.
