Paramount recalls all Trident Series 2 UV pool sanitation systems with date codes 9/9/2013 or later due to fire risk from electrical arcing. Unplug or turn off power and get a free replacement.
Electrical arcing can cause the units to catch fire, posing a fire hazard.
Paramount is recalling all Trident Series 2 ultraviolet pool sanitation systems that were sold with date codes from September 9, 2013 onward. These systems can catch fire due to electrical arcing, which may cause serious injury or death if not fixed.
Electrical arcing inside the units can cause them to overheat and catch fire. This fire hazard occurs even when the system is properly installed and in use, potentially leading to serious injury or death.
Pool owners who have the Trident Series 2 ultraviolet sanitation systems with date codes from September 9, 2013 onward are affected. Those who use the systems in pools are most at risk of fire.
Look for a black label on the front of the unit with "Trident UV II" or "Series 2 Trident Ultraviolet Corporation UV Sanitation System". Check the date code on a silver sticker, which must be 9/9/2013 or later (or contain letters).
Immediately unplug the unit from the outlet or turn off the power at the circuit breaker if hard-wired.
Contact Paramount for a free replacement unit and installation.
