CAUTION
It is important to note that certain materials used in and around swimming pools and spas may not be compatible
with chemicals commonly used to purify pool and spa water (e.g. acids, chlorine, salt, stabilizers, etc.).
As such, Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. does not warrant or guarantee that the chlorinated water generated by the salt
water chlorinator will not damage or destroy certain types of plants, decking, coping and other materials in and
around your pool and/or spa. Before selecting materials to be used in and around your pool and/or spa, please
discuss all options with your contractor to assess the compatibility of such materials and chemicals.
