I think that any short which would cause that much extra consumption,
would cause the wires to the heater to get hot, would pop the circuit
breaker/fuse, and would quickly destroy the heater. The only short which
would not cause an appreciable amount of heat generation would possibly
occur if it was dissipating through the water, but you would discover
this by getting an electrical shock.
