Trident Ultraviolet Corp. has recalled about 3,660 Trident Series 2 ultraviolet sanitation systems used for pools because electrical arcing inside the units can cause them to melt or catch fire. There have been 38 reports of these units melting or burning, including one reported burn injury to a consumer's hand and $23,000 in property damage. These gray tube-shaped systems were sold nationwide by pool companies between February 2009 and September 2013 for approximately $600. Consumers should stop using the units and contact Trident for a free repair kit.
Electrical arcing within the sanitation system can cause the unit to overheat and ignite. This poses a significant fire hazard to the home and a risk of burn injuries to anyone near the equipment.
Consumers should immediately unplug the units from the outlet, or if hard-wired, the power source should be disconnected or turned off at the circuit breaker. Contact Trident for a free repair kit.
