The product, in the report: Pump with electrocution hazard. Problem has been described previously here.
I purchased a submersible pump for my well water supply to my home. The pump, manufactured by Xylem Corp. was part# 10HS05422C. I checked with my multimeter (I am a retired electrician) when I unboxed the pump and discovered that the metal enclosure on the upper section of the pump was not grounded. That is, there was no connection from this exposed housing to the green grounding wire supplied with the pump. This is an electrocution hazard. If one of the power wires to the pump was to rub onto this housing to a point where the insulation on the wire fails the metal housing would become live (energized) and someone reaching in the water to remove or service the pump would most likely be electrocuted (dead). There are other electrical failures that could have the same outcome. This situation is a violation of the National Electrical Code 250.134 which states that all exposed metal parts of an electrical device must be grounded. It also violates U.L. 778 section 18.2. The pump is a long cylinder, 4 in diameter, which has an exposed metal case around the motor (lower section) and an exposed metal case for the pump (upper section). The two sections are separated by a small plastic middle section (the water intake). This plastic part separates the two sections electrically. The green ground wire connects to the lower pump section housing as it should but because of the plastic section the metal case of the upper section is not grounded. This same construction is used by Xylem for other pumps in this series and I suspect other series as well. I initially submitted this report here around 1/28/2026 but I just learned from your staff that they have no record of it. I was given a case number then ([REDACTED]) but something went wrong apparently. I notified the manufacturer also at the end of January but have only heard that they have received the complaint but no report of any action they have taken. I also submitted a technical addendum to my initial report to you by email and I will do that again in hopes that you can connect it to my case. From my profess ional understanding of the issue with this pump, production and sales should be stopped and a warning and remedy should be issued to distributors. Recalls to consumers as well.
