‐
Tannins released by the decomposition of dead leaves.
The discolouration or staining (and deformation) of slats, attributable to the migration of components caused by
prolonged contact between the cover apron and other plastic components (winter cover, sheets of PVC or
polyethylene, etc.).
Stains attributable to a flagrant lack of regular maintenance/cleaning. The slats must be cleaned thoroughly at
least twice a year.
Stains caused by the formation of metallic sulphides, encrusted in the PVC and resulting from the presence of
micro-organisms (bacteria, fungi, etc.) and metallic ions present in the pool water or in the PVC material it-self.
This risk can be precluded by continuously treating the pool water to maintain irreproachable water quality and
avoiding the stagnation of decomposing organic matter on the cover.
The slight yellowing of PC slats over time, this is a phenomenon inherent to the material and as such is
unavoidable.

Guarantee on mechanical parts
2.1.
Guarantee covering the motor
The motor drive system equipping BWT covers are protected by a 5 year guarantee concerning the motor’s
leaktightness and structural integrity over time, subject to the condition that the motor was installed in accordance
with the technical recommendations, and operated in accordance with the operating instructions, set out in this
manual.
The following are excluded from the scope of the guarantee covering the motor:
Damage resulting from water infiltrating into the motor, due to:
‐
The installation of the motor in a manner that does not comply with the instructions set out in this
manual;
‐
Partial or full dismantling of the motor;
‐
Submersion of a motor designed to operate only out of water.
Damage pursuant to failure to respect the electrical standards in effect in the country of installation (the most
recent version of the standard NF C 15-100 in France).
Damage to the motor occasioned by lightning strikes or electrical surges, said risk being covered by the home
insurance generally taken out by the user of the cover.
Damage attributable to over-loading of the motor due to failure to respect the engineering diagrams or incorrect
installation of the cover (friction or abnormal stress loading while rolling the cover out/ up, etc.).
NOTA BENE
:
- In the event that the Stardeck cover is installed on a terrain susceptible to flooding, the motor pit must be fitted
with a siphon and/or lift pump to avoid any risk of flooding of the motor.
- A Coverdeck cover requires installation of a correctly sized and positioned, properly operational overflow on
the pool to avoid submersion of the motor (and damage to the slats due to friction against the bottom of the
beam.
2.2.
Guarantee on the electrical panel
The electrical panel provided with BWT covers is covered by a 5 year guarantee for correct operation, subject
to the conditions that the electrical panel was installed in accordance with the technical recommendations set
out in the BWT covers Installation and Operating Instruction Manual, and that it is used in accordance with the
aforementioned manual.
