Question Eheim Jager Heaters

I recently purchased 2 250W Jager heaters with plans to install them in my sump on a temp. controller. When they arrived I noticed, after unpacking, that they have a min. and max. water line. I bought them with the thinking that they were fully submersible. Since they're in the sump my water level moves down 1.5" to 2" each day by way of evaporation. There is no way to stay within the water lines. The box states that the heaters are submersible buy with the water lines I am hesitant to use them fully submerged. Does anyone have any experience with these heaters? Do you run them fully submerged or what? I'm afraid that if I can't use them the way I need I will have wasted money on them. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.

I and many others have used them fully submerged without issue. I have seen people post that they did not work submerged. If you want to be safe, try them in a bucket first.
