Weatherproof water pump?

I'm setting up a 50 gallon water mixing drum on my patio. Just curious if there is a such thing as a weather proof pump. Right now i'm looking at using a large mag pump and dropping it in the drum. However I think i'd like to use something like a panworld pump so I can pressurize the water when doing water changes.

If anyone has a similar setup. I'd love to see it.

Theres lots of weatherproof pumps. Pool filter pumps are outside and splashed constantly.

You can run a mag pump externally... Just have alot more need to keep water flowing thru it to cool it. It also has to be under water level as it will not self prime and pull a siphon
