If you have a recalled solenoid valve kit, you should immediately stop using it and disconnect power to your UV water treatment system. Visit VIQUA's website to help identify whether your valve's green coil component has a production date code matching the recall. If your valve is included in the recall, contact VIQUA to arrange free installation of a replacement coil.
