Hi,
So mid water change I smelled something burning, and realized I left my heater plugged in. It was piping hot when I unplugged it, and fell into the tank water, where it burst and caused a bunch of steam. It was already unplugged, thankfully, but I’m concerned that chemicals inside may have entered the water. Is there anything I should be concerned about (besides needing to buy a new heater…) or should everything be okay? I feel really dumb for leaving the heater plugged in above water, but I suppose everyone’s allowed to do something stupid…
