Amazon site says this pump is fully submersible. Documentation says don't submerge pedestal motor or allow motor to be exposed to water?? CDU980E

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

This is not a pedestal pump. This is a fully submersible pump. It is meant to be under water.

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

This pump is fully submersible. I have been using it in my sump pit for about 5 weeks and it is working just fine. They do make pedestal style sump pumps whose motors should be kept out of the water, but this one is completely submersible.

The pump pictured above "is fully submerable".The " pedestal pump" is not . the pedestal has the impeller on the bottom of a shaft (pedestal) and the motor on top actuated by a rod attach a float ball and the water level raises the float rod and actuates the pump atop the pedestal which is not water proof . Both styles are equally reliable .

This is a SUBMERSIBLE pump. It is kept cool by being IMMERSED in a sewage/basin tank (washer water/sewage cooled). Therefore, if you are needing a sewage pump that is stand-alone/air cooled, this is not the one for you.

Sorry, I purchased multiple pumps submersible and otherwise. I'm not sure which one this is or if I have tried it yet. Some submersibles are required, and some are "possible" but not required.

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.

It is an underwater pump. It must be wet and under water to run. If you ran it dry then it is perhaps damaged. Assuming you did read the directions, I am thinking it is just old or for some reason can not suck the water. Check the intake hole. The whole tank and pump is just ~$24.00. You may want a new one. Mine has run for over a year and the only thing I hear is a small hum.

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.

I'm not aware of a video... There is not a lot to know about the installation but I'd recommend a different brand. Mine sat in a box for a few months because the project lagged then when I installed it the motor would not start on its own. I contacted Flotec and explained the situation with the delay and they flat refused to honor the warrantee... So here I was with a brand new flotec pump and had to buy a replacement pump.

I just bought the 100 watt, and it is fully submersible. It has an all black outer casing, making it blend in to the background very nicely.

Yes. I have seen several pumps completly submerged, including some of my own, due to a varity of reasons. when powered up they all functioned flawlessly.

All electric R/C motors are "waterproof." Or rather, the act of running them in water does not cause failures but if you leave them wet, sitting on a shelf, the metal components will begin to rust and corrode.

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 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.

I would say no. It is not sealed for submerging. More intended for surface pumping. It works great!

no. not entirely. the esc and receiver are waterproof. not the motor. don't go submerging it

This is a great question, and I do not know. I have searched Amazon's page, and cannot find 1 thing about warranties.... I just installed the pump last night, It is amazing!!!

This is an above ground pool pump. It is not self priming. Pump head must be below the water level for it to pump.

It doesn't say in any of my literature. Suggest www.dannermfg.com I just know it's a great pump. This is my second one and the first one lasted 2 years longer than the warranty.
