Trident recalls all Series 2 pool UV sanitation systems due to fire risk from electrical arcing. Unplug or disconnect power immediately and contact for free repair.
Electrical arcing can cause the units to catch fire, posing a fire hazard.
Trident is recalling all Series 2 ultraviolet pool sanitation systems because electrical arcing can cause fires. This affects pool owners using these systems as a secondary sanitizer with chlorine or bromine.
Electrical arcing inside the unit can cause it to catch fire. This happens when the unit is plugged in or hard-wired into the pool's electrical system, creating a fire hazard.
Pool owners using Trident Series 2 ultraviolet sanitation systems for pools are affected. Those with hard-wired units or those who plug in the systems are at higher risk.
Look for a black label with 'Trident Ultraviolet Corporation', 'Series 2', and 'UV Ultraviolet Sanitation System'. Also check for a silver sticker with 'Trident Series 2 Ultraviolet Water Treatment System' and a date code.
Immediately unplug the unit from the electrical outlet or disconnect the power source if hard-wired.
