pump inside sump laying on side...

Is there anything wrong (long term or short term) with laying a pump on its side? My skimmer pump is that way and I just want to make sure there is nothing wrong with doing so...

Thanks

I've ran many skimmer pumps that way for clearance and haven't had any problems

I don't see what the difference would be. You can have the pump anyway that you want

Submersible pumps can be oriented in any manner to my knowledge.
