many customers said water is getting into the inside of pump which means it is not submersible.pl clarify as i want to buy

I do not have that issue though. I purchased for underwater usage and it works fine. I think for some people that not work might be due to the seal of the wires into the pump. Double check before you use it and put some silicon or hot glue to secure it if that is the case.

I have had one of these submerged and in use for about four months. So far it has performed well.

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

This seems like it would be a problem with the pump that the factory could take care of. If it is less than 90 days old i would think that they would take care of it.

This pump could be used outdoors. It is a fully submersable pump. The electrical plug can not get wet and needs to be protected from water/liquid.

the light has a rubber ring that prevent moisture from getting in the battery but i do not think it's submersible. might want to ask the mfg.

No, I would not consider submerging this item in water! The case is not a water tight sealed enclosure.

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

Hi Jane, The pump is not submersible and remains outside of the container you have your fish in. The tube is inserted into the water and needs to be held at the bottom of the bucket (or ice chest in our case). We put weights on it to hold it down but monitored it closely as the fish would sometimes knock it loose and the opening of the tube would float to the top where it did no good at all. If we were to use these more frequently we would devise a good, fool (or fish) proof method to hold it down.

unfortunately don't know the answer to this. we have never submersed it... but we are very very pleased with this having used it repeatedly!

It is not designed to be mounted inside the furnace so I don't think it is submersible. You may want to check directlly with the company though.

I believe its submerge only. There are different resistances in air and water, therefore requiring different design in a motor. This says submersible, so i would take it literally.

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

I would say NO, the unit, according to the instructions, should not be immersed in water. If someone knocks it into the water it may have to be sent back to the manufacturer to be fixed, this is not covered under the warranty. The only option I could see is to find a way to mount it to a heavy aluminum plate and weight this down ..... Would be cheaper and faster to just drill the small hole required, only took me 5 minutes, and is hardly noticeable!

You could try lowering the voltage to reduce pump flow rate. The pump is rated for 6 volts dc. It also works at 4.5 volts dc and appears to pump at a lower flow rate.The pump is absolutely submersible and quite powerful for it's size. In fact, the pump must be submerged to operate, since it is NOT self-priming. The spec notes ...do not let run dry...good luck

The case should be okay to submerge, but I would not keep it under water for too long. And I would test the case first, for any defects, before submerging.

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.

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.
