What happened

Trident is recalling all Series 2 ultraviolet sanitation systems for pools due to a fire hazard caused by electrical arcing that can cause the units to catch fire. The affected units are gray tubes measuring 32 inches high by 11 inches in diameter that are plumbed into a pool's water circulation system and plugged in or hard-wired to provide ultraviolet sanitization alongside chemical sanitizers like chlorine or bromine. The units can be identified by labels reading "Trident Ultraviolet Corporation," "Series 2," and "UV Ultraviolet Sanitation System" on a black label on the front, and "Trident Series 2 Ultraviolet Water Treatment System" with a date code on a silver sticker.

Consumers who own these units should immediately unplug them from the outlet or, if hard-wired, disconnect or turn off the power at the circuit breaker.
