Abstract: A submersible pump for irrigation and other purposes is enclosed within a floating housing including a buoyant top portion, such that the housing remains substantially vertical during use. A spacer bracket is used to keep the pump away from the inner walls of the housing, and, in the preferred embodiment, the bottom portion of the housing is pointed for additional stability. Handles are provided on the outside of the housing for transport purposes. In the preferred embodiment, a pair of floating inlet assemblies are provided, which attach by hoses through opposing sides of the pump housing. The openings through the walls of the housing are preferably at different heights for the two inlet assemblies, so that one of the inlets will function as a backup if the other fails.
