Recall Information Summary

Fluidra has initiated a Safety Related Product Recall Campaign involving selected AstralPool Natural & LPG Gas Swimming Pool Heaters. If you have any of the affected models of gas heaters, please follow the instructions outlined in this section of the website.

products affected

The following AstralPool gas heaters sold by Fluidra through swimming pool specialists between 1st December 2011 and 26th October 2020 form part of this campaign. The AstralPool JX and HX gas heaters and ICI400B are NOT affected by this recall.

AstralPool HiNRG, Viron EVO and ICI gas pool heaters

defect

Water or moisture may enter the ignition module inside the heater causing it to fail. This may result in, overheating and "sparking" and in certain circumstances may lead to the plastic casing of the ignition module catching fire. It can also create a ‘false’ call for heating, allowing the heater to operate when in the ‘OFF’ position, bridging the safety circuit and allowing the heater to operate with no water flow.

hazard

If the ignition module fails and causes a fire, this may result in a serious injury or death to users or bystanders.

Go to step3
action required

If you have any of the affected models, you should immediately stop using the heater and disconnect the unit from the power supply. Complete and submit a Rework Booking Form to arrange for a qualified technician to repair the components pertaining to the recall only, free of charge.

If you are using a Viron Connect Automation System in conjunction with the heater, it will require a temporary cable / dongle to be connected to the Viron Connect for the pool pump to operate once the heater has been switched off. This temporary cable will be sent to you within 3 working days of us receiving your completed Rework Booking Form. Instructions on where to attach the temporary cable can be found in Step 3. This temporary cable will be removed by the technician once they have repaired the heater and re-connected it to the Connect10 system. 

remedy

Fluidra will arrange for a qualified technician to come out to inspect and repair the components pertaining to the recall only on-site, free of charge.

Please be advised that Fluidra will not be liable for any rectification costs associated with installations that do not conform to our installation specifications or do not meet regulatory requirements.

General Updates

We apologise for the time it is taking to book an appointment to rework AstralPool gas heaters. We have certainly not forgotten about anyone who has completed a rework booking form and we continue to work through the list based on the date of submission and the availability of repair agents.

We have completed over 6,000 jobs to date but still have a backlog of cases, particularly in Melbourne and Sydney. We continue to work closely with our authorised repair agents to bring on more capacity and prioritize Recall work over other cases. 

Unfortunately, global supply issues continue to cause head-winds. Certain components remain in short supply and we are continuing to work with our suppliers to find solutions to these issues.

We appreciate your understanding and patience and will contact you as soon as we are able to allocate an agent to your case.
