Limited Warranty Terms & Conditions
Before installing your cleaner, review and understand all warnings, safety
and warranty information in this guide. Failure to follow these instructions
or improper installation of the cleaner can result in damage to the pool
finish or the vinyl liner, Pentair Aquatic Systems disclaims any liability for
repairs or replacement to any of these structures or components of the
customer's pool.
The Cleaner manufacturer, Pentair Aquatic Systems ("Manufacturer"),
hereby provides the following limited warranty to the purchaser
("Customer"): WHICH IS SUBJECT ONLY TO THE FOLLOWING
CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS:
This limited warranty does not include replacement of parts which become
discolored due to exposure to sunlight or chemicals, or parts which, even
if worn, do not affect performance of the cleaner. Nicks, scratches, fading,
discoloration, etc. are cosmetic conditions that do not affect mechanical
performance. Both Manufacturer and dealer of Pentair Aquatic
Systems reserve the right to deny any and all warranty claims made
for worn parts if the wear does not negatively affect mechanical
performance of the cleaner.
The Cleaner is designed to function in a properly designed, constructed
and maintained pool. This limited warranty does not extend in the
circumstances where the pool's design, construction or maintenance
is defective, substandard or inappropriate for the Cleaner's operation.
Deterioration, discoloration or brittleness of any pool finish can be caused
over time separately by, or in combination with, age, an imbalance in
water chemistry, improper installation, and other factors. Customer hereby
disclaims any and all claims, and releases Manufacturer from any and all
claims for damages to any pool plaster or vinyl liner in Customer's pool
by reason of the use and/or operation of the Cleaner.
Under no circumstances shall Manufacturer be liable for any loss or
damage, whether direct, consequential or incidental, arising out of the
use or inability to use the Cleaner or the Hose in Customer's pool.
This limited warranty does not apply to any injury, loss, damage, defect,
or malfunction of the Cleaner or failure to function resulting from any
failure to operate or maintain the Cleaner in accordance with the
directions contained in the Installation and Operation Manual or operating
instructions provided by Pentair Aquatic Systems or any injury, loss,
damage, defect, or malfunction, or failure to function resulting from any
accident, acts of God, alterations in the Cleaner by anyone other than
Manufacturer; or misuse, unreasonable use, tampering, abuse, acts,
omissions, failure or negligence by anyone other than Manufacturer
including but not limited to such damages or injuries to parts resulting
from improper installation, or damage to pump parts resulting from
running the pump dry (e.g., interruption in or inadequate supply of water
to internal pump parts due to loss of prime, or obstruction in lines or
otherwise); or damage, defect or malfunction resulting from defects in,
failure or malfunction of, or negligence, abuse, or misuse with respect to
equipment other than the Cleaner; or any damage or loss of any nature
whatsoever and personal injury caused due to the presence of a foreign
object in or about the pool.

WARRANTY INFORMATION
Disclaimer of Liability
About your Pool and 'Lil Shark
There are a multitude of factors that contribute to the life of your pool. The
'Lil Shark
have no impact on pool life.
Please be aware that over time, deterioration, discoloration and brittleness
of any pool finish can be caused separately by, or in combination with,
age, an imbalance in pool water chemistry, improper installation and other
factors. Pool cleaners, such as the 'Lil Shark, will not remove or cause
wear on "good" pool plaster. In fact, the opposite is true–pool plaster will
eventually cause wear on the cleaner.
The same situation holds true for vinyl-lined in-ground swimming pools,
because vinyl liners are also affected by the environment and factors such
as pool water chemistry, sunlight and the pool's surroundings. Therefore
over time, vinyl can become brittle and weak. In addition, vinyl-lined pools
are affected by the workmanship, composition and installation of the
liner and the workmanship and quality of construction of the supporting
walls and pool base. These are all factors which can contribute to liner
failure. The existence of any of these type of conditions in your pool is
not caused by the use or operation of the 'Lil Shark. The manufacturer
disclaims any liability for repairs or replacement to any of these structures
or components of the customer's pool.
The pool owner must assume all responsibility for the condition and
maintenance of the pool's surface, water and deck.
