Sue,

Does your heating unit have a three-prong grounded plug? If it's plugged
into a three-prong outlet which is properly grounded, any stray voltage
should be directed out that way. 

If you're using a grounded connection, it's probably a defective unit.
Maybe you can get it replaced. 

We use the floating water heaters for our sheep and horses and have
never had a problem. They cost about $25.
