Disclaimer of Liability
About Your  Pool  and  Kreepy  Krauly

There are a multitude of factors that contribute to the life of your pool. The 

Kreepy Krauly 

 automatic pool cleaner is a very passive

product that will 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. An automatic pool cleaner, such as 

Kreepy

Krauly

  

  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 Kreepy Krauly  . 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.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

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 Water Pool and Spa, Inc.
disclaims any liability for repairs or replacement to any of these structures or components of the customer’s pool.

The Cleaner manufacturer, Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc. (“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 Pentair Water Pool and Spa’s dealer 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 Water Pool and Spa 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.
