Tucson Circulating Pump News — What Homeowners & Tradespeople Need to Know

Updated October 2025 — There’s breaking news in the heating industry: a large-scale

safety recall has been issued for certain Tucson circulating pumps installed in many Irish

homes. This latest Tucson circulating pump news has serious implications for safety,

compliance, and maintenance practices.

Why This Tucson Circulating Pump Recall Matters

 The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has issued an

urgent safety alert about an electrocution risk with roughly 114,000 circulating

pumps across Ireland. (CCPC)

 The affected models are the Tucson 5m, 6m, and 8m units manufactured between

2017 and 2024. (CCPC)

 The core defect: the mains cable on these circulating pumps can be wired in

reverse, so the live (hot) conductor connects to the earth pin—this could make metal

parts of the pump live under certain conditions. (CCPC)

 Even though the pump may appear to function normally, any handling or

maintenance of the unit may expose those interacting with it to serious risk. (CCPC)

What the News Reports Are Saying About Tucson Pump

 According to The Irish Times, this recall is among the largest ever issued by the

CCPC and may affect both private homes and light commercial properties. (The

Irish Times)

 Irish Examiner notes that consumers are allowed to still run their heating systems,

but must not touch or attempt modifications to the pump. (Irish Examiner)

 TheJournal.ie gives a useful breakdown of how homeowners can identify affected

units (by brand label, location, serial number) and how to check eligibility via CCPC

or Tucson tools. (TheJournal.ie)

 Local authorities are also responding: for example, Cavan County Council published

a notice to tenants to check their pumps and report any Tucson units. (cavancoco.ie)
