Is the entire unit submersible so it can be used outdoors or is this indoor only?

The unit IS submersible but the power conditioner needs to remain dry. There's about 3 feet of cord to work with though. I'd say it's made for indoor aquarium use. Outdoor pond might give it a beating.

I would say absolutely not. The USB port is open with no shielding. The battery compartment has a gasket but not sufficient for any type of submersion. This unit would not be waterproof- might even be stretch for water resistant.

The heater and sensor are fully submersible, the digital control is not (I would assume).

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.

as to my knowledge. It takes batteries and I don't think it would be submersible. If it was I think it would say more like water proof.

Yes it can be totally under water for as long as the battery works. We had no problems with it at all.

According to the specifications it's for indoor use only. I have mine outside but in a fully enclosed fixture so it will not be the weather.

Indoor only; it is NOT waterproof at all!!if you want to use it outside you must put it in a weathertight enclosure

Theoretically, I think this would work OK in a water-proof outdoor box--but, it really is built for indoors. I'd personally go for a unit sold for the outdoors. It's my understanding this company sells such outdoor units.

I have two, one is exposed to weather. Both have worked flawlessly. I think they are very well made and certainly intended to be mounted outdoors. Submersible, probably not.

Can be outside BUT electrical cord and unit cannot get wet. Keep in a covered dry area.

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.

I wouldn't say it is waterproof, but it's pretty water tight. Mine is installed under a covered porch. I don't think it would hold out water if submersed, but unless it is subjected to severely heavy rain regularly, I think it would be okay.

Really? I didnt know it had to be fully submersed, I always kept the water line half way up the black part with the knob out of the water. Ive never had a problem with the heater so far. Its kept consistent 77-78 degree temp for almost a year now. Hope tuis helps!

I wouldn't let it get wet. It is great for indoor use. Very elegant look. It's glass and metal. I would not use it outdoors.

Yes, we have had ours for a couple of years and have used it at the beach/pool and it has been submersed tons of times.

The unit is not designed for wet environments. It is designed for outdoor use. I would suggest that if you plan to have it in a location that will be more than just humid or damp, you should consider a different unit. I have mine for generator hookup. I have used some sealer on the point where the cable enters the housing. Like any commercial connector that is not designed for submersion, you do not want the connector on wet soggy ground or in any standing water. It should be elevated and protected from rain, sleet, snow and other water. I would say the same for any plug system.
