IMPORTANT WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 

Disclaimer of Liability

About your Pool and Cleaner

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

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. Suction side pool cleaners, such as the

  

pool cleaner, 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 pool cleaner. 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.

Before you begin to install the cleaner in your pool, please record the 

serial number of your cleaner in the space provided below. This way, if you 

need to refer to the serial number in the future, it will be readily available. 

Figure 2, on page 1

 

shows where the cleaner’s serial number is located.
