What happened

The transducer is identified by a label on the center of the unit that reads "Gems Sensors & Controls" along with an 18-digit part number beginning with "3100."

Consumers who have the recalled transducer should contact Gems Sensors to receive enhanced twice-monthly inspection instructions and information about a free replacement transducer when warranted. End-users who use the 3100 Pressure Transducer in other applications involving water pressure measurement should also contact Gems to determine if their units are affected by this recall.
