Is this pump submersible?

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?

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.

Totally submersible - really solid and dependable.DO NOT RUN IT WITHOUT IT BEING UNDER WATER

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.

No, it is basically rain proof, not submersible. I doubt it would last more than a few seconds.

Yes, submerge the intake, make sure fittings are tight to the pump and away it goes.

It is not fully submersible. The water level can't be over the gray ring at the top.

Yes, this is submersible although we are not submersing it. We are very happy with this purchase. It cleared up our koi pond up quickly.

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.

This is a submersible pump. It's the first pump I've owned that didn't clog with debris regularly. I'm very impressed.

Yes, we have had ours for a couple of years and have used it at the beach/pool and it has been submersed tons of times.

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

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

the light has a rubber ring that prevent moisture from getting in the battery but i do not think it's submersible. might want to ask the mfg.

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

There are no holes in the pump housing except the intake strainer. The pump is sealed and waterproof as it it mean't to be used completely submerged.

Hi Patricia, i wouldn't advise it as its a submersible pump. For one inch of water you may want a pump that has a flat extension piece or something to suck up water. Hope this helps. The pump was okay...it was a little sometimish. We ended up getting the red lion pump but again this is for like septic tanks and the like
