IMPORTANT WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.
