my question is it says that its submersible but on the glass tube it has a max water line iam baffled

If you see a MAX water line it is not submersible. If you just see a MIN it probably is. I would still check to be sure

I goggled that heater and does in fact say it's submersible. It's a non adjustable one as well it says.

the package it came in says submersible when i research it, it says its submersible and it has a dial at the top so it cant be preset right?? iam so confused

Most heaters have a dial on the top. Some are waterproof, some aren't. I'm worried about the fact you say it has a MAX waterline... I've never seen a fully submersible heater which had a MAX....

Ebo Jäger heaters are submersible and have a great reputation. I have had no issues with mine and I've used quite a few of varying sizes over years. The Jagers also have a water level line but are fully submersible. That being said, not sure about the Hagens. Check it out before you use.

Apparently the max water line is to satisfy the laws in Canada.
