Warranty Periods for Specific Components
10 YEAR STRUCTURAL WARRANTY FOR WHIRLPOOL/TUB SHELL
Aquatic extends to the original consumer purchaser of the acrylic, fiberglass reinforced shell of a Builders' Choice Whirlpool a limited warranty that the shell will retain
its structural integrity and configuration and be free of water loss due to a defect in the tub shell for a period of 10 years from the date of purchase, but never more
than 11 years from date of manufacture. This limited structural warranty does not apply to attachments to the acrylic, fiberglass reinforced shell, such as plumbing,
fittings and other apparatus; these pieces are covered below in a 2 Year Warranty.
10 YEAR SURFACE WARRANTY FOR FACE OF WHIRLPOOL/TUB
The interior surface/face of a Builders' Choice Whirlpool is warranted against fading, blistering, cracking and delamination due to defects in the surface materials for a
period of 10 years from the date of purchase, but never more than 11 years from date of manufacture. This surface warranty extends to defects due to surface material
mixing or molding. This surface warranty does not apply to fading, cracking, delamination or blistering due to
excessive wear, sun fading or scouring due to cleaning.
2 YEAR EQUIPMENT WARRANTY FOR SUPPORT EQUIPMENT, COMPONENTS, CONTROLS & PLUMBING EQUIPMENT
All support equipment, components, controls and plumbing equipment on the Builders' Choice Whirlpools are warranted for 2 years from date of purchase, but not more
than 3 years from date of manufacture, against defects in workmanship and materials. Pump seals, “O” rings, light bulbs, fuses and pillows are not included in this two-
year period. However, these accessories are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of delivery to the original purchaser. Limited
and reasonable costs may be covered for 2 years from purchase, but never more than 3 years from date of manufacture, for limited labor on the support equipment,
controls, or plumbing.
