is this pump submersable

I have not had it completely submersed but it is sealed and other than your switch and/or splice I would think it is.

Yes but the pump will need to be primed once the end of the hose is submerge prior to operating the pump.

This pump can be used in fresh or saltwater. I currently use it in saltwater.

This is not a pedestal pump. This is a fully submersible pump. It is meant to be under water.

Yes...100%, even the cord as long as water doesn't reach the outlet you plug it into. When things are working properly, only about 1/2 the pump will be underwater but it will continue to operate even if there is a foot or two of water above it.

The pump pictured above "is fully submerable".The " pedestal pump" is not . the pedestal has the impeller on the bottom of a shaft (pedestal) and the motor on top actuated by a rod attach a float ball and the water level raises the float rod and actuates the pump atop the pedestal which is not water proof . Both styles are equally reliable .

Seriously doubt it. Probably short or fail as well as contaminate the fluid. Does not appear to be a submersible pump. Get a fountain pump for that.

This unit is well sealed with rubber "O" rings on all joints. It holds up well in rain and wet weather because I use mine outdoors in all conditions. But there is exposed metal circuitry inside the unit so I'm pretty sure that it is not made to be submersible. The way the cylinder is sealed will repel ambient moisture from seeping in such as rain and spray from water sports. But if you plan on scuba diving, I would choose a product specifically engineered for deep submersion. Rubber "O" rings will stop water from entering the cylinder at normal atmospheric pressure. But submersed, you have the added weight of the water around the unit witch greatly amplifies the pressure against the seals which increases with depth. The manufacturer offers no ratings on this topic and the above is strictly my assessment.

NO!!! It has a great o-ring seal but it is only splash resistant, not submersible.

btw people it is NOT a submersible pump. the pump is in a wAter resistant case but sits outside the bucket. one hose goes in the bucket to suck up the water that travels back upthe hose and out the other end. water does not even go through the pump.

That is what it is supposed to do, the instructions are trying to tell you that it is a submersible pump, as compared to a surface pump.

I'm sure it is submersible although I have mine mounted under the tank stand. The air flow control is made of metal and as a rule of thumb you should never have anything metal submersed in the water with fish as the chemical reaction with the water could poison the aquatic life.

Yes it is fully submersible. I haven't had mine for too long bit it works great. I have it in a 60 gallon tank and it keeps it at exactly the temp I need

It is, but once I stayed in the sea longer, a little bit water got in. My pump was ok. Since that time, I always put some tissue around the pump.

After looking up the IP rating system for this item, I would not recommend submerging it. It is only rated to a 5 and for submersion it would need to be an 8.

The unit IS submersible but the power conditioner needs to remain dry. There's about 3 feet of cord to work with though. I'd say it's made for indoor aquarium use. Outdoor pond might give it a beating.

its designed to be submersible --- likely in bilge pumps on boats but i use it for the solar pump pool cleaner . the motor might burn out after daily use and needs to be replaced. you connect it with " marine" wire connectors that require heat to seal. for extra protection, i think the marine PVC works great to insulate the connection.
