I had the exact same issue with my pool pump just recently (leaking
from the threaded PVC joint into pump). Yes it happened when the
pump ran dry for a few hours and overheated.

I took the piece off by cutting the line further down and screwing it
loose. The threads looked fine so I cleaned it and put teflon tape.
I had to put a couple of the line that was cut. I reattached it and
to my disappointment it is still leaking (less than before but it
still leaks). Should I replace the 2" threaded PVC piece completely?
What type of joint glue or tape should I use so I can fix this once
and for all? In case this happens again is there an easier system I
could install to avoid cutting pipe?

Appreciate any help you can provide.

PVC compatable pipe "dope" works better than tape in my experience.
