Can it be installed submerged in tank?

I do not believe so, that is not its intended purpose. I would check with Airtex and see what they say.

I don't see why not . As long as the pad is in constant contact with the tank.

The heater comes with suction cups, so you can place it anyway you want in the tank. It will fit in a 10 gal sideways. The cord (@ the heater end obviously) can be submerged. That's how I have mine.

I do not believe it is submersible because it is said that the bottom motor needs to stay dry to work properly. If you are looking to filter this water, there are other types of systems that can stay submerged but I do believe that the canister ones do not. Hope this helps!

Yes it can be used inside the tank as long as the outflow opening is slightly above the water line

I never did that but I don't see why not. The unit always needs to be submerged when it is running so as long as it can freely roam around the bottom and sides of the pool it should be fine. I love this thing so much I named him Tony and I am never cleaning my pool myself again. Tony does it!

I don't know. Perhaps ask or call the manufacturer for that as being submerged might not be an intended use.

I think that it could be, but that it would hamper it's ability to heat the tank. I would keep an eye on the thermometer to determine if it was heating the water enough when it is under the water. That being said, there is no reason it couldn't be placed under a thin layer of gravel.

My tank is much smaller so I have never done that, but I've read reviews of people that have submerged it with no issues at all. The battery compartment is sealed, as well as the on/off button. Sorry I couldn't help further.

No. You wash the bottom and rinse the top but the top can NOT be submerged in water.

Sara - I seriously doubt that this filter would work for your particular application as it works on a "siphoning" principal which would mean that the intake tube would have to be submerged at all times allowing no air whatsoever to impede the flow of water. Additionally, the filtering unit must sit lower than the tank to work properly.

Yes you can use in a bare bottom tank. If the fluted is causing issues, you can remove that section (or cut the flutes off). As this is fully submersible up to 3 feet deep, that should be just fine. If yours cuts out after you submerse the battery compartment, you have either a bad O-ring on the top of a bad factory sealing job where the wiring enters the battery compartment at the bottom.WE have a 120G bare bottom tank that is about 26" deep & use this. Not the greatest suction, but works.

I've had mine completely submerged before. While in use. With no problems at all.

Yes. This can be submersed in gas. Rated for inside and outside of gas tank.

I'm sure the unit is not submersible so the water would have to be very shallow for this to work, but I don't see why you couldn't.

Yes u could add it between the layered medium of filters or as substrate in the bottom. I have this filter and a whisper mini-power filter for a full 10 gallon tank
