Is the pump submersible?

Absolutely.. Only issue seems to be the float switch is intermittent. The way I use it. Is without the float switch (since it doesn't work). But when I plug it in, the pump works great..

Yes. Absolutely. I am very impressed with the two I purchased early this fall.

Yes, it is designed to run underwater since the water helps keep the pump cool. The float controls the pump so that when the float indicates too much water (rises above the pump) the pump turns on; then when the water level drops down due to the pump pumping the water (the float looks like in the image) at which time it shuts off the pump. By changing the amount of electrical cord between the pump and the float, you can change the height at which the pump turns off and on. Talk to a plumbing supplier if you have any additional questions especially if you are not sure of exactly how to connect electricity to the pump.

Not sure.. but mine is submersed without any issues. Now that Im thinking about it... its probably the MINIMUM water line......

No...I don't think so...the motor is not enclosed and we have never submerged it...

I have not completely submerged it but I believe capeable of that. It works great for me I would recommend this pump.

yes you can , but this pump is too big for that kind of job . i think you are better off with an electric submerge one.

Generally it would be a bad idea to submerge any cord connection-even if it was rated at IPX7 (1M submerged) or IPX8 (>1M). If the stock cord from the pump is not long enough you are better off having an electrician or someone knowledgeable replace the cord with a longer one. You are much safer with one continuous cord underwater than with any kind of plug/receptacle. This one is definitely NOT meant to be submerged, as the other commenter says it is rated IPX5 which means it can only withstand spraying water on it (i.e. rain falling on it, with no standing water).

This product is submersible , the motor is sealed, but with that said, it isn't worth the money. We regret the purchase.

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 :)"

Yes the heater is fully submersible - it sits on the sand at the bottom of the tank.

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?

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

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.

Submersible for less than a minute. Dropped mine in a pool and it was fine. Also left it out in heavy rain for about 4 hours and it still works. Although the light is a bit dimmer and I noticed some corrosion around the battery terminals. Probably from where I didn't open it up to let it dry out.

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

You could try lowering the voltage to reduce pump flow rate. The pump is rated for 6 volts dc. It also works at 4.5 volts dc and appears to pump at a lower flow rate.The pump is absolutely submersible and quite powerful for it's size. In fact, the pump must be submerged to operate, since it is NOT self-priming. The spec notes ...do not let run dry...good luck

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

The package is fully submersible. The internal motor should not be exposed to water.
