I have not seen anyone doing a DIY project on a water pump. have you?

Are we talking about constructing one from scratch

 

[mcarroll]

Never.

I could see retrofitting a external motor and making a custom housing for the impeller. I can't think of a good solid submersible DIY pump.

I mean I guess it could be done but it would take a wealth of knowledge of CNC, 3D printing, lathing, electronics, tolerances and so forth. It probably wouldn't be cost effective over similar priced pumps which is why it probably hasn't been done

This would be more feasible
