Well folks, here's another incident of stray voltage. A couple of things to note. First, this was in my saltwater mixing tub, not my display. So this particular incident was not threatening to my livestock. Second, I'm still here to report this, so it wasn't life threatening to me either :party:
I found out there was stray voltage when I happened to touch the water in the mixing tub. I got a slight shock. Not sure it was even a shock, I put my finger into the water again. It seems that I was getting the shock only in my finger with an open cut.
Not knowing which appliance was causing this (only a mag 3 and a heater in the tub) I unplugged each. It was once again another brand of heater. :irked: I already replaced a failing WON bros. heater in this tub about a year ago. This time, the failing heater was a STEALTH. Obviously I took it out immediately and replaced it with a new Finnex I had in my 'overstock' cache`.
I touched the water again after replacing the heater and was shock free.
I'm now up to two brands of heaters I will never use again, STEALTH and WON Bros. Hopefully the Finnex will work without incident.
Hope this helps others when making there heater selection.
