My hydro cell does not float in the water -- it sinks to the bottom. Is that okay?

mummm i dont think you want to put it in the watter it has a mesh part with holes wo you might be carring water in it if you do put it in the water. It is mainly for the storage of your equipment to and from the water.

To tell you the truth I haven't seen anything floating. I will check again and respond. I would return it if you're not sure.

No, I didn't notice it floating. However, I don't fill my sink with water usually. But wait, I just tried it with about 2-inches of water, and it absolutely did not float. It stayed flat against the bottom.

The pump isn't submerged, I have mine off aways and the hose/diffuser is on the bottom..

I purchased mine about 2 years ago. It floated just fine. It didn't last more than 2 seasons though. Good luck!

Mine had a little give but if it sinks more than an inch I'd return it as defective.

I do not have that in mine! It could be defective,but if it holds water and there is no leak,and the place is not thin then I would not worry about it.IT hope this helps!!

I don't think it has to be submerged. What I think it means is that pump will work when water reaches a certain level. If it empties your tank is working OK.

Are you using it as a floating device or sunken device. Mine is on the bottom of the pond. NC climate is pretty mild compared to some. If you are floating it unit might be effected by air temp.

No. I would say that it was built to be water replant. I would not put it under water under any circumstance and expect the unit to continue working.

I noticed that mine won't work if its low on water, so make sure it has the recommended amount. It seems after an hour of use it needs refilling.

Somewhat...I have run it in very sloppy / raining conditions and it has been fine...my guess is that you probably don't want to fully submerge it because of the motors (not good in general for a motor to be submerged...these are not fully enclosed) and the battery / controller unit.

Yes! I personally own a few of these and they float about mid way, not completely on the surface but still float. Using an iPhone
