- Operate pump completely submerged for proper cooling.
so if it isnt in water it will just get hot no?
and so why do thay give the option to make it inline

If it states that it is an inline pump, then it will work fine outside the res. If it's a submersible, then it needs to be in the water. It will need to be primed first though, if being used outside.

It will need to be filled with water first, so for instance, once you have it nearly plumbed in, fill it with water from the top pipe, this will stop the motor burning out. If it states that it can be used "Inline" then it can be used outside.

Sorry for the bad video, but it shows exactly how to prime a water pump.

If it is the same as the pump in the first picture, then it looks to me that it can be used "Inline" it has the nozzle to attach a hose. The bottom one is the intake & the top one is the out.
