Is this Pump Submersible ?

I would not leave it under water but mine has been under water a couple of time and has always performed great the only thing that I have found is that it is hard to get the screen filter for it I had to end up going straight to attwood to get it .

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!

It has to be submerged fully. Trust me, I found out the hard way. I ended up having to buy a military style jerry can with a big opening to get this pump in.

No, I would not consider submerging this item in water! The case is not a water tight sealed enclosure.

I don't think it's really intended to be submerged but I don't see why it would hurt it. It's mainly intended to pump out water that collects on, say, a basement floor or a sump. Possibly the electrical cord isn't waterproof enough for constant use underwater, but I don't know about that. Maybe ask the manufacturer?

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.

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

No, it is not submersible. I would say that this bag is basically splash proof.

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

The pump isn't submerged, I have mine off aways and the hose/diffuser is on the bottom..

Fully submersible. Ignore the other answer. Mine has been fully under water for over a month and continues to work fine

No, they are not submersible. My little guy learned this the hard way just last week. His new one should be in the mail Friday :)"

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.

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

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

I can check for you later. I assume you mean the diameter of the pump? It is a submersible pump. JHW

It;s a very good pump but it is NOT self priming. I use it in my in-ground pool which I converted to a fish pond.
