Scott,
Why would your "gas water heater" be connected to the house power?
You made me recheck mine.  It appears to have a battery in the controller.

 While I generally agree that the green (ground) wire should go through the CM 
choke, here’s an exception: My gas water heater was shutting down whenever I 
was on 160. It has a grounding cord, but the ground is totally redundant 
because the tank is tied into the copper plumbing. (That would not be the case 
with non-metallic plumbing.) I made a choke with a two-wire extension cord, and 
left the green wire open. No more cold showers.

73,
