Last night my neotherm heater exploded in my sump, turning the water a foul greyish brown color and causing the water to smoke. The foul stench of burnt electronics instantly filled the entire room. Thankfully I was standing nearby when it happened and was able to shut the system down and isolate the fouled water mostly to the sump.
So far, I’ve drained the water in the sump and flushed it with new saltwater. What other steps should I take to keep from poisoning the display with whatever that was that came out of the heater casing?
Is there a fear that this heater bursting could harm my livestock?
I’m looking for some guidance on what needs to be done to make sure my system doesn’t get harmed by this product failure.
