No one uses these?

Past the dial, basically the whole thing. Had a 50w cook itself overnight with just the slender element portion submerged.

they have to be 100% submerged at all times?

mine is 100w that is 9 inches tall and its going into 8.5in of water. may go as low as 8 inches.

I am surprised the directions say nothing about where the minimum fill line is just "maintain the indicated minimum water level." lol but what is it?

Well, mine was submerged till the bottom of the temp "dial" and it cooked, so I have to assume the temperature probe is higher up, thus it could not register when to shut off. The little picture on the back does show a check mark at completely submerged.

From BRS website:

Minimum water level - Top of the bezel.
For 25, 50, 75 Watt - 5.5" from bottom of the heater
For 100 Watt - 8.75" from bottom of the heater
Maximum depth of 31.5" deep at the bezel

I ran a 100w for a few years and always kept the water at the top of the round part with the temperature lights. I think that is what BRS is referring to as the bezel. I never had a problem running it at that depth.
