to the material’s natural permeability to steam.
Slat articulation defects, in as far as these are the results of:
‐
Calcium or Magnesium deposits, these being caused by operating the cover in pool water with a TH
above 200 ppm;
‐
The build-up of dirt on the slat cover (dead leaves, detritus, sand, etc.), due to a lack of regular cleaning
of the automatic cover;
‐
Incorrect setting of the ends of travel that automatically stop the rolling out and rolling up of the automatic
cover;
‐
In the case of system that do not have ends of travel, impacts between the cover apron and the wall
opposite the axle due to the user’s failure to exercise due case and attention;
‐
The cover unrolling in the submerged cover pit, as a result of the water level dropping below the top of
the separating pit wall (lack of water level regulation or defective water level regulation).
The deformation of the slat apron in pools fitted with hand-rails or abutments, resulting from:
‐
A thick layer of snow left standing on the surface of the slat apron;
‐
A sudden, significant drop in the water level, notably in pools that feature hand-rails or abutments.
Damage caused to one or more slats comprising the cover apron following:
‐
An attempt to open the cover while is closed and fastened in position;
‐
An attempt to put a cover equipped with a submerged cover pit into motion while the water level was
too low (below the top of the separating pit wall) or too high (above the bottom of the beam) due to the
absence of a level controller and/or a defective level controller;
‐
An attempt to repair or modify the cover performed by an unqualified person not an agent of Procopi
BWT Groupe,
‐
A tornado, hail storm, falling branches or tiles, etc. said risk being covered by home insurance usually
taken out by the user of the cover,
‐
Slat apron friction.
Deformation and/or blistering of the slats constituting the slat apron, resulting from:
‐
The presence of a floating object (float, toy, thermometer, floating doser, etc.) under the cover and thus
preventing the slats from remaining in contact with the water at this point;
‐
Storage of a section of the slat apron on the deck surrounding pool exposed to sunlight during
assembly or a maintenance operation.
The deformation of the slat apron or slat articulations, resulting from an object (float, toy, thermometer, floating
dispenser, etc.) becoming trapped in the cover as it rolls up around the axle.
1.2.
Guarantee covering stains and discoloration
BWT covers are also covered by a 5 year guarantee against the risk of the sudden and abnormal discolouration
and/ or the appearance of permanent stains on the surface of the slat apron.
However, this guarantee may not be invoked if the surface of the slat apron stained or discoloured accounts for
10% or less than the total surface area of the slat apron.
NOTA BENE
: As the slats are formed by the extrusion of pigmented PVC, the gradual discolouration of the
slats, caused by oxidation of the pigments by UV rays and/or disinfectants used to treat the pool water, is
normal and natural.
In the event of the partial replacement of the slats comprising the BWT slat cover, and bearing in mind the
aforementioned gradual discolouration process, colour variations between the old and new slats are normal
and natural.
The following are excluded from the scope of the guarantee covering stains and discolouration:
Stains resulting from:
‐
The use of highly pigmented tanning sun creams (brown stains);
‐
Fumaroles resulting from the combustion of hydrocarbons (exhaust gases from motorised vehicles,
planes flying overhead, fuel fired boilers, etc.);
‐
Smoke from wood burning chimneys;
