Hayward Industries is recalling about 280 Negative Pressure 6-inch Vent Kits (Model UHXNEGVT15001) used with Hayward H500FD Gas Heaters. These kits are incorrectly sized and can allow carbon monoxide to leak into indoor spaces. These kits were sold at pool equipment distributors and online at poolsupply4less.com and tcpoolequipment.com between March 2015 and April 2019. Consumers should immediately stop using their pool heaters and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement kit and professional installation.
The incorrectly sized vent kit can fail to properly seal or vent exhaust, allowing dangerous levels of carbon monoxide to escape into the home or pool building. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that can cause serious illness or death through poisoning.
Consumers should immediately turn off the pool heater and contact Hayward for free replacement and installation of a new vent kit. Do not use your pool heater until a new vent kit is installed.
