Ebo Jager heater

[leafs]

I've seen these heaters totally submersed, but it has a water level line near the top which your not suppose to go above. Is it ok to submerse it? I'm thinking it's just the manufacturer covering their butts incase theres a problem.

My ebo jaegers are fully submersible. Are you sure the line isn't a mark after which it MUST be submerged? (ie it is fully submersible but if you don;t want to submerse it so you don't get your fingers wet when when adjusting it, you just submerse it to the line and can leave the rest above water?)

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it said do not go above the line. I've had it for a year now and I've never went above the line, so I guess it's ok. I'll have to check to make sure. I really like these heaters. It keeps the temp very constant. Thanks for you help SarahBravo.

It's a legality issue. All my Ebo's have that line, they are all fully submersed.

I thought it might be a legal issue. I guess their just trying to cover their butts incase something happens. I usually just keep mine in the upright position. Is there a better place to position it? I've seen my lfs place them sideways near the bottom. I'm not sure if it would make a big difference. My temp is always constant anyways. Thanks.
