Jebao WP owners..Any of you submerge the rear holding magnet in the tank?

[reefes pieces]

I want to place my wp25 on the oflow box which means the backside magnet would get submerged in the overflow box. I know almost all pumps except for vortechs can have the holding magnet submerged with no ill effects but I'm still leary about Jebao's products since its so new. So have any of you done this? If so, any issues such as rusty magnets etc? or all good and I'm just being paranoid.

That's how I have 2. I haven't taken them out to check for rust though

maybe they can be home sealed with silicone but you gotta wonder if they were made to be submersible...

Im planning in doing the same thing putting my 2 25's on the center trapizoid overflow and was wondering the same thing the outter is pretty easy to acces the rubber just pulls right off i was gonna shoot it full of silicone to fill all voids and call it good. I jus checked a inner mag on a 25 i have waiting to complete a build and the mag looks the same as the outter its gotta be getting wet on the inside too cause its not glued/siliconed in the rubbers the only thing separating it so I'm probably going to shoot silicone in both ends jus incase

if it will be in your overflow box why dont you just put the magnet in like a ziplock to be safe. no water, no rust.

I just tried taking them out and since my overflow is so packed with plumbing I don't see them coming out anytime soon. Imma just tell myself that the magnet is strong enough to create a seal....hopefully nothing leaches out. I wish I would've thought of the bag idea though

I have one like that and no rust after 3 months.

Ask Sanh about cheap magnets.

Ziplock might be a good quick solution
