SpectraPure, Inc.® warrants the product to the original owner only to be free of defects in material and 
workmanship for a period of three years from the date of receipt. SpectraPure’s liability under this warranty 
shall be limited to repairing or replacing at SpectraPure’s option, without charge, F.O.B. SpectraPure’s factory, 
any product of SpectraPure’s manufacture. SpectraPure will not be liable for any cost of removal, installation, 
transportation or any other charges which may arise in connection with a warranty claim. Products which are 
sold but not manufactured by SpectraPure are subject to the warranty provided by the manufacturer of said 
products and not by SpectraPure’s warranty. SpectraPure will not be liable for damage or wear to products 
caused by abnormal operating conditions, accident, abuse, misuse, unauthorized alteration or repair or, if the 
product was not installed in accordance with SpectraPure’s or other manufacture’s printed installation and 
operating conditions, or damage caused by hot water, freezing, flood, fire or acts of God. 

SpectraPure will not be responsible for any consequential damages arising from installation or use of the 
product, including any water or mold damage due to flooding which may occur due to malfunction or faulty 
installation, including, but not limited to failure by installer to over- or under-tighten fittings, housings, and/
or push-style fittings, or improper installation of push-style fittings. Consumable items such as pre filters and 
membranes are not covered under the two year warranty.

SpectraPure warrants (pro-rated) the performance of tested SpectraSelect™ RO membrane elements only, for 
one year from date of receipt by the buyer, providing that the loss of performance was not caused by  fouling , 
neglect or water conditions exceeding the feed water parameters listed in the applicable product manual (refer 
to detailed membrane warranty information). SpectraPure will, on confirmation of loss of performance during 
the warranty period, credit the pro-rated amount of the current catalog price of the element. The disposable 
filters and  cartridges are not covered under the warranty.

To obtain service under this warranty, the defective system or components must be returned to SpectraPure 
with proof of purchase, installation date, failure date and supporting installation data. Any defective product 
to be returned to the factory must be sent freight prepaid; documentation supporting the warranty claim and 
a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number must be included. SpectraPure will not be liable for shipping 
damages due to the improper packaging of the returned equipment and all returned goods must also have 
adequate insurance coverage and a tracking number. 

SpectraPure will not pay for loss or damage caused directly or indirectly by the presence, growth, proliferation, 
spread or any activity of “fungus”, wet or dry rot or bacteria. Such loss or damage is excluded regardless of 
any other cause or event that contributes concurrently or in any sequence to the loss. We will not pay for loss 
or damage caused by or resulting from continuous or repeated seepage or leakage of water, or the presence 
or condensation of humidity, moisture or vapor, that occurs over a period of 14 days or more. “Fungus” and 
“fungi” mean any type or form of fungus or Mycota or any by-product or type of infestation produced by 
such fungus or Mycota, including but not limited to, mold, mildew, mycotoxins, spores, scents or any biogenic 
aerosols. 

SpectraPure will not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses arising from 
installation, use, or any other causes. There are no expressed or implied warranties, including merchantability 
or fitness for a particular purpose, which extend beyond those warranties described or referred to above.
