Is this pump completely submersible?

Absolutely! Just make sure your electrical connections are above any anticipated water level.

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.

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

I don't think it has to be submerged. What I think it means is that pump will work when water reaches a certain level. If it empties your tank is working OK.

It is fully submersible - and mine keeps a 50 gallon perfect 24/7. I'd guess it could handle much more than I am throwing at it.

Its ideal for direct switching of pumps up to 1 HP /250V. It is submersible. I installed one and its working perfectly well.

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.

Hi Jane, The pump is not submersible and remains outside of the container you have your fish in. The tube is inserted into the water and needs to be held at the bottom of the bucket (or ice chest in our case). We put weights on it to hold it down but monitored it closely as the fish would sometimes knock it loose and the opening of the tube would float to the top where it did no good at all. If we were to use these more frequently we would devise a good, fool (or fish) proof method to hold it down.

It is not designed to be mounted inside the furnace so I don't think it is submersible. You may want to check directlly with the company though.

William,A 1/2 hp submersible pump should handle 60 psi with no trouble. I have an above ground pump with a deep well (bottom of well) jet that pumps 70 psi. I believe your submersible should do even better. Dan

Mine has been fully submerged (including the controls) for a year and is still working perfectly. The description says it's submersible. Go ahead and submerge it.

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

The pump is a submersible pump. It's intake is so large that I don't think you could use it out of water if you tried.

Yes it is fully submersible. I currently have it lying horizontally at the bottom of my red-eared slider's tank.

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.

Check to make sure that the pump is fully submersed in water. I had the same problem and mine is working just fine :)

It's gasket sealed and weather resistant. Not sure if it's completely submersible.

I do not have that issue though. I purchased for underwater usage and it works fine. I think for some people that not work might be due to the seal of the wires into the pump. Double check before you use it and put some silicon or hot glue to secure it if that is the case.
