I did not know this... I have nearly the identical set-up as you. I have had mine submerged for 2 months nearly and it still works fine? Any chance that they have just told you its not submersible for liability reasons?

Very much possible. The seal on the top does look like they are sealed to be submerged, at least temporarily, but since their website says not to submerge the probes, it is better not to do that for warranty issues.

This is kind of like ranco probe, some used it submerged for years but the manufacturer suggests not to do that.
