This is 110% something I may never be comfortable using...
It's a submersible pump so the wire is rated for that. People use those pumps in fish tanks all the time and it's no different than a power cord for a submersible heater or a sump pump

Thanks....I started assembling it and I slammed the breaks once I realized I would have a live wire in water. Just wanted to double check. You know....before I plugged it in and found out the hard way lol.It's a submersible pump so the wire is rated for that.

Yeah, it's totally safe. The electrical connections are usually sealed in epoxy in those pumps. The only time it's a problem is if you slice the cord but they are pretty thick and hard to cut.

There's no shame in not knowing something and asking a question. And you won't be the last person to have this concern...so it should be left alone for people that come along later and have questions.
Just my $.02.

I won’t leave you alone on this one. I did the same thing when I started playing with hydro.
