13 more brands of pump are now the subject of an alert as certain circulating pumps which may pose a risk of electrocution to tradespeople.
The CCPC has received reports of other circulating pumps that may have the same or similar electrical coupling as the one on affected Tucson pumps above, and therefore, may present the same risk of electrocution.
"In line with the precautionary principle and to avoid potential harm, the CCPC is carrying out this early intervention by making all traders and tradespeople aware of this potential risk," a statement said.
