Is it completely submersible? I want to drop it into a large barrel full of water and pump the water out.

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

I wouldn't submerge it in water but I've ridden it in all types of rain and snow and it works fine!

Yes, fill with water for a couple of days first to let the barrel "swell" first. Very nice barrel.

I have never had a situation where it was completely submerged. I would suggest you contact irobot the manufacturer.

Yes but you cannot fully submerge the pump. This is not a "submersible pump".

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.

This unit is well sealed with rubber "O" rings on all joints. It holds up well in rain and wet weather because I use mine outdoors in all conditions. But there is exposed metal circuitry inside the unit so I'm pretty sure that it is not made to be submersible. The way the cylinder is sealed will repel ambient moisture from seeping in such as rain and spray from water sports. But if you plan on scuba diving, I would choose a product specifically engineered for deep submersion. Rubber "O" rings will stop water from entering the cylinder at normal atmospheric pressure. But submersed, you have the added weight of the water around the unit witch greatly amplifies the pressure against the seals which increases with depth. The manufacturer offers no ratings on this topic and the above is strictly my assessment.

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

Yes. You can submerge everything in water EXCEPT the actual electric timer/temperature housing. I really like the spigot for draining the oil but don't forget to close it after draining otherwise the next time you use it, the oil will go in the top and spill out the bottom.

The pump is a submersible pump. It's intake is so large that I don't think you could use it out of water if you tried.

I haven't dropped in the water yet, but they say it floats. I don't think it is meant to be submerged.

No, definitely not. The water is squirted out by pulling the sliding green handle on the underside of the barrel back towards the butt. The faster you pull it back, the further the water is squirted. I can manage about 12 to 15 feet, but it would be a lot less for a young child.

I do not think it worked good out of water, and I definitely would not use it submerged. Stay away from it.

I don't think it's explicitly waterproof. Definitely not submersible, but it may do well in light rain for short amounts of time. Just keep a flashlight handy :)

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.

Don't think it's submersible...those bags usually have some kind of zip closure and this one does not. I would not try it with my camera inside but it's great for splash proofing.

Yes, when the barrel is full further rain goes down the original downspout. It is necessary that the barrel be water/air tight so it can't overflow. During normal, not yet full conditions, water goes into the barrel through the connecting tube as air comes out.
