Is the pump fully submersible?

Until two days ago my pump wasn't only completely underwater but it was completely under a foot of hard frozen snow and ice. Now I did unplug the pump knowing that a hard freeze was coming and also had to wait until the temps got above freezing in order for the snow and ice to thaw. But yesterday I plugged it back in and it still worked like a champ!

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.

Yes it's fully submersible - any "submersible" heater is fully submersible otherwise the packaging would be misleading. I use one in my 2 gallon betta bowl.I don't think anyone even makes the old, hang on the back heaters anymore that are not fully submersible.Sorry for the bum steer from MDixon.

This is a food grade pump with an open motor. It cannot be submerged, it's gravity fed and I don't know about pumping oil. Low viscosity perhaps? Contact the manufacturer about that one

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

It's gasket sealed and weather resistant. Not sure if it's completely submersible.

They claim that is. I've never used it underwater. On YouTube there' are videos that show mixed results.

The pump is not submersible and is made of cast iron (would rust if paint is ever scratched off) so I would say no, it is not weatherproof.

Yes but the pump will need to be primed once the end of the hose is submerge prior to operating the pump.

I'm sure it is submersible although I have mine mounted under the tank stand. The air flow control is made of metal and as a rule of thumb you should never have anything metal submersed in the water with fish as the chemical reaction with the water could poison the aquatic life.

No the suction is from the bottom of the pump. The pump is only partially submerged before pump kicks on.

Generally it would be a bad idea to submerge any cord connection-even if it was rated at IPX7 (1M submerged) or IPX8 (&gt;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).

The cord is 14ft and is sealed into the top of the pump housing. It is waterproof on the pump end and completely submersible.

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

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

That I don't know. I have used it sitting in the boat in water and it was fine, but it was not totally submerged.

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.
