    No stray voltage! I'll test it again when my fiance gets home in case I screwed up or something.

    Was the heater on when you checked the last time?

    Unplug it and test the water again.If it is gone throw that heater away and get a new one.

    Ok, unplugged it and got basically the same reading. Fluctuated around, but the highest reading was 0.47.

    I would start unpluging things 1 at a time and retesting till the voltage went to 0.There should be none in there.
