The consumer says that the pool service company was cleaning his pool today. Periodically they dismantle the pool filter and clean the filter cartridges. They then reassembled the filter and turned the pool back on. While the technician was vacuuming the pool, the pool filter completely exploded. He says it blew pieces apart and some of the pieces are not in his yard. The consumer called the manufacturer who did not seem to care about what happened. He was told that they test all their products.

My Trident II UV Sanitizer for my pool water melted down due to an electrical problem with it. It nearly burned down my pump house. There is a recall in place for units manufactured between 09/09/2013 - 01/24/2014. My unit was manufactured on March 13, 2012.

Dear Madam and/or Sir I wanted to report injuries I sustained from the lid of an exploding filter canister for our in-ground pool. My hope is that you will increase safety requirements on pool filter canisters. On Saturday, August 27, 2022 I was cleaning the filter for our pool pump. The Hayward Filter Canister exploded after I turned the water pressure back on and it hit me in the face and knocked me to the ground. The victim of course can be blamed as I am a 78 year-old woman, the canister is probably at least 10 years old and no professional taught me how to do this. –But, I had been doing it successfully for at least 10 years. This should not have happened. After reading some articles on-line and talking with others I thought I should let you know the damage done to me as you may want to address this issue in a way to protect others in the future. The impact of the lid hitting my face and knocking me to the ground scared me, so I yelled for my husband who luckily was home. He got me a towel to rest my head on and soak up some of the blood—and he called 911. The EMTs on the ambulance, of course, took my vitals and started asking all kinds of questions. Eventually, I was helped to sit up and transferred to a stretcher to take me to the ER. In the ER I had a CT Scan, stiches above my eye and stiches below my eye on the cheek bone. The area above my lip and part of my lip was cut all the way through so it was stitched outside and then inside my mouth. I was given a referral for a plastic surgeon to address my broken nose. My skull was in-tact. I did have one upper front tooth knocked out and two others chipped and dislocated which will need to be extracted. In addition, three bottom teeth were chipped. A few days later I saw the Plastic Surgeon who set my nose with stents up my nostrils and a white plastic “caste” across my nose. My dentist sent me to an Oral Surgeon who will remove two teeth in addition to the one that was knocked out once the cast

Intex 36" Pool ladder #58976 for above ground pools has no top step and has a big gap that a child has to straddle coming from inside the pool. On two separate occasions children have fallen between the space on the ladder and hurt themselves on the barrier that is installed on the ladder inside the pool.

Our Coverstar Eclipse automated pool cover, installed in early 2018 on our outdoor in-ground pool, began to close on its own while my children were in the pool (it had been open for about half an hour prior to this). I was able to get the children out, and stop the cover. The pool cover operates using a touchpad, on which users have to enter a numeric access code in order to open or close it. We'd had a problem some months prior to this incident with certain keys occasionally sticking in the "on" position, such that we were unable to enter our access code. The dealer who installed it was unable to reproduce the problem, and so we simply added a new access code, which was the same digit repeated four times. After this incident, when I reached the touchpad, I observed it to be "stuck" again (beeping, and with asterisks appearing in the display as if someone was pressing a key or keys). The cover stopped closing as soon as I began to press keys. There exists a wifi-enabled version of this touchpad, but to my knowledge, the version we had was not wifi-enabled. The entire incident was captured by our security cameras, and I have the recording available. We contacted the manufacturer immediately following the incident and provided them with the video. They sent the installer out to retrieve the old touchpad and replace it with a new one, and later told us that they observed some moisture infiltration and corrosion in the old unit. I recently spoke with [REDACTED], the Executive Director of [REDACTED], and he agreed that this was a very serious incident that should be reported.
