What is this? This is an electric water pump made by Heidmann. The wires inside its power cable are too thin.

What's happening? The thin wires can get too hot. The heat can melt the cable’s covering and expose live wires that you could touch.

Does this affect me? If you own or use this pump in Germany, you could be at risk of electric shock.

What should I do? Stop using the pump right away. Ask a shop or a repair person for help. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor if you feel a shock.
