So I’m mixing saltwater in my garage with a pump and heater

I check on it every 30 min or so

so I checked on it for the third time, and my garage was filled with smoke

probably could have been terrible if I didn’t catch it in time
 
The heater was 1 of 2 I got from pet smart for the winter season

1 just stopped working
The other one probably caused this
 
Did you figure out where the smell came from? In the water, or out?

If something failed in the water I'd toss it and clean out the mixing hardware. You can't be sure what contaminates were introduced.
 
I’m not completely sure whether it somehow shorted out or the smoke came out of the water

that heater is in the trash
 
Hmm, well then in that case I'd;
Toss the water and clean the mixing stuff.
Get both a GFCI and ground probe for that mixing station.
