Can anyone tell me if these can be placed submerged in a horizontal rather than upright position?

Yes, it can be placed vertically or horizontally. If you place it horizontally it makes it a little harder to turn the adjustment knob. Just set if before you put it in the tank.

You can install a check valve in any position you wish, however I am not sure why you would ever need to use it in a horizontal position. One uses this valve to stop back flow.

They have to be upright. The way it works is the tank water comes In at the bottom & goes up through the media & out & back to the tank through the pump in the top.

I don't see why not. In our application (ceiling fan), they are installed in a horizontal position.

Yes, possibly so, unless you anchor them down somehow. I haven't done that and haven't used them when it's wet, so I can't be sure.Sorry.

you could install this filter in the horizontal, but all of the water will pour out of the canister when you change the filter.

Drawback to these is they cannot be mounted horizontal, they leak a lot 100% of the time when installed sideways. There is another nipple available on Amazon that looks similar but does not leak when installed horizontally.

Yes you can, I didn't put them in vases or anything but I found that these things can get pretty big. Like really big. But everything should still be fine to leave them in water.

Yes. The lights can be place in either the vertical or horizontal positions. Before purchasing this product I read you couldn't place it in a horizontal position. I purchase them anyway considering the price then once receiving them and opening the package, the very first thing I did was see if u could place them in both positions. Hope this helps....Enjoy!!!!

If the ground is very solid its OK . water always spills out and they will sink if it's not a solid base. . to make sure there OK I would put padio blocks under each. Make sure u just don't place them down on the surface. Make them level with the ground!!!!!

Mine have not floated or taken in any weather so far..If you have the ones I have, good luck Mine came in a twenty pak and look bigger than this pic....

I cannot answer this from experience. Mine are stored indoors. I doubt storing them upside down will work due to the fact that the zipper is on the bottom. I would think that would be worse because water can seep into the bottom. through the zipper. The bottom seams are well-finished on the inside, but I would never let it sit in water. I suggest if they have to be stored outdoors, throw a tarp over it too.

Should be all right horizontally..... but gravity does make it easier to shut in the upright position.

Other than the designer relying on gravity to hold the filter materials in place? There doesn't appear to be any reason why horizontal operation would fail.

I am not sure about them floating upright. Based on other comments, if you need them all to float up right I would probably not buy them. My kids love to play with them in water and everywhere! We never really noticed how they floated.

Nice, I did the same with my smaller pool. I have mine lined up and suspended in the water with plastic screen weighted down with bricks on the pool deck. They will sink to the bottom if you don't secure them somehow. Anyway, if you have enough circulation they work for me lined up. Hope this helps and welcome to the converted pool community!

yes. mine are actually horizontal. you can orient them to fit the intake best
