pleased to offer warranty for the repair or replacement of pool products for 1 year
from the date of purchase. The provisions of this Limited Warranty only apply to the
original purchaser. Please keep your original store sales receipt, as this proof of
purchase will be required and must accompany warranty claims to Polygroup or its
designated agents. This Limited Warranty does not apply without proof of purchase;
or should the purchaser modify or repair the product themselves or by unauthorized
people; use non-Polygroup parts or accessories with the product; use the product in
contravention of the manufacturer’s instructions; use improper voltage; abuse the
product in any way; or through accident or negligence. This Limited Warranty will not
cover consequential damages, including claims for loss of water, pool chemicals,

ground cloth and/or pool liner are examples of which Polygroup cannot be held
responsible for.
In no event shall Polygroup, its authorized agents, related entities, or employees be
liable to the buyer or any other party for direct or consequential damages. Some
states or countries, or other jurisdictions, do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not
apply to you.
This limited warranty is not extended to close-outs, factory seconds, or resold
products (i.e. garage sales, online auctions, or online retailers not purchased directly
from Polygroup). Any issues with items purchased from these types of vendors /
sellers will need to be addressed through these stores. Items purchased from
