Do you sell a water prove extension cord with this devise, I need to get down to 50 ft below ground surface. How does this device do in 20' of water?

The rating in the device is IP66. The second '6' means "Protection against string water jets and waves." For 20 foot depth, you'll need IPx8 where 8 = "Protected against prolonged effects of immersion under pressure." IPx7 is only good for temporary immersion to down to 1 meter.

Definitely can't go deep. I took it past 10 ft during a snuba excursion. The thing started to freeze and wouldn't turn on. When I opened up the battery/SD card compartment, water had gotten in.

Not sure how far you want to go. I have used it with a 100 foot extension cord with no problem. If you are worried, go with a gas blower.

I have successfully used a heavy-duty extension cord. I wrapped the exposed connection with electrical tape. I have also used a thermostatic control in the outdoor outlet so that it turns on only when the temperature sinks into the thirties or lower. I can only say that these methods worked for me.

You should use a 16 gauge extension cord for 50 feet. If you move to 100 feet you would need to increase the gauge to 14.

You should be able to extend to 50 feet, the only thing is go with a 18 or 22 gage wire not 20 gage.

It is not possible to answer the question unless you have a similar situation. Most times users attach the device directly to the spigot which is not under water. For me the device works fine. The cost is so little just buy one and find out!

I used a regular outdoor extension cord and it works fine. Did you try the bowl and the cord seperately to make sure they work? Remember it only keeps the water from freezing. It does NOT warm it up..

Yes, as long as you have the water running fast enough it will pull water from 5' feet below.

I would think you could as long as it is not raining, since the device is not waterproof. Also, it will only work up to about 50 feet. Blessings...John

I believe this product is intended for above ground pools only. The electric cord is about 20 - 25 feet long, so it may not be long enough for a deep pool.

50' would be pushing it. It would be better to use a 50' extension cord. The compressor is incredibly light.

I used it in my 10 ft deep end in ground pool. I attach an extension cord to the cord on the product. It worked like a charm I just took it out of the now drained pool (had it on the cover submerged in water and leaves) because it's now winter in NE Ohio! I totally recommend this pump for pool use, works great and great price!

I ran my cable through a pond last year for about 60 LF, though not directly in the water. The soil was saturated with water. I have not had any issues. If needed you could run it through some PVC conduit through the creek, if would be otherwise exposed. This cable is as heavy duty as you can find.

I have one and it works great. Cord is about 30 feet and the entire device is weather proof.

I have used one with a 50ft extension cord. I leave several plugged in all winter. This unit will not overcharge your battery. It uses a computer circuit to shut off and show a green light when fully charged. It will turn back on when the battery discharges and only charge until the battery hits its correct charge.

Mmmmm...never thought of that. My husband has a GoPro and got a different extension that telescopes but did not use it under water. Sorry I could not be more of a help
