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

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 3 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

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.

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.

limited to, filters and cartridges unless specifically stated above.
