Your PPM is extremely high , I am pretty sure that it is enough to kill a person or make you deathly ill , 70 ppm is when newr CO meters are set to go off , the older ones were set at 50 ppm before the alarm sounded.
I strongly suspect the burner is not set up correctly , giving you a incomplete burn. Its the only way I can see you getting those numbers.
Also your vent needs to be rerouted or its diameter increased. You have a SERIOUS problem. I would consider replacing it with a On Demand electric hot water heater , or even a electric tank.. That will fix it !
Scary Quest you could not wake up one morning.
