Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of electric shock. The mains cable can be connected to the pump in reverse, allowing the live pin to connect to the earth pin and causing accessible metal parts to become live.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
Corrective action
An installed pump can remain in operation, but you must take care not to handle affected pumps as there is a serious risk of electrocution.
The affected pumps can be identified by the serial number (S/N) on the label affixed to the pump as indicated above. Tucson will arrange for the inspection of installed units of the affected pump models and the installation of an updated electrical connector and adaptor piece on the pump motor. This Product Replacement Programme is free of charge. Installed units should only be replaced by an approved Tucson technician or Tucson service agent.
Homeowners in Northern Ireland who have had heating system work completed or who have moved house within the last 14 years should check if their property contains one of the specified pump models. This is an important safety check that requires immediate attention.
In April 2026 Tuscon Pumps have notified additional production periods of Tucson circulating pumps that were introduced to Northern Ireland in the latter half of 2012 and continued to be supplied through to 2016. These serial numbers begin 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.
