The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on April 20 of about 1,060 units of DynaDrive Fresh Water Well Pumps with model numbers DD60-10NPT and DD90-11NPT and serial numbers between 190791000 and 223365720, due to the fact that the pumps are not adequately grounded and can pose an electric shock hazard to the user.
CPSC officials said the recalled products are water pumps used to stabilize water pressure for fresh water wells. They added that the pumps are constant pressure pumps with an integrated single phase to 3 phase variable speed controller, and have a yellow canister attached to a stainless steel metal casing and aluminum-coated motor. Officials said a product identification label sticker is located on the side of the black controller that includes the model and serial number for the unit.
CPSC officials said Davey has received one report of a consumer in Australia who experienced an electrical shock [from the pump] and added that no incidents or injuries have yet been reported in the United States.
CPSC officials said consumers should not attempt to turn the pumps off, change settings on the pumps, inspect or repair the pumps, or otherwise touch the pumps. Consumers should register their pump(s) instead on Davey’s website to schedule a free inspection to verify that the connections are correctly grounded and, if necessary, repair the grounding. Consumers can register their pump(s) on the firm’s website at https://www.daveywater.com/us/product-service-campaign-dynadrive.
