ranco probe waterproofing question.

The site I'm buying my ranco 2 stage controller says for an extra $25.00 they can waterproof my probe. can I do this myself cheaper?

I read a post on another site that said they contacted the ranco co. and they said that the factory probe cannot be submerged. what's the deal?
