Must the water pump in the tank be all soaked in water?
Usually you have to soak it all in the water. If you don't want to put it in the water, you can buy an amphibious pump. At most, you can expose it
Of course, if the motor is overheated, it will burn, and the temperature of the water will drop down.
Need a submersible pump in the water, but it is not entirely like this, I have to work for a long time no problem in water, but there is a problem you should pay attention to the water pump, at least in half, or stop when the smoke is not on water.
