LIMITED TEN-YEAR WARRANTY

FOR THE SUNGRABBER SOLAR POOL COLLECTOR

1. SCOPE OF COVERAGE: 

This warranty applies only to new swimming pool solar collectors manufactured by SunGrabber and installed according to 

SunGrabber instructions on premises owned by the original consumer buyer.

2. IDENTITY OF WARRANTOR AND WARRANTEE: 

The warranty is extended by SunGrabber to the original consumer buyer of the solar collector.

3. LIMITED TEN-YEAR WARRANTY:  

The SunGrabber solar collectors are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under nor-

mal use and service for the heating of either an inground or above ground swimming pool for ten (10) years from date of purchase, subject to the terms, 

conditions, and limitations described below.

4. WHAT IS NOT COVERED

A. EXCLUSIONS - The above warranty does not apply:

   1. To conditions resulting from a defect in a component or part which is not part of the SunGrabber collector.

   2. To conditions resulting from a significant departure from SunGrabber’s installation instructions.

   3. To conditions such as internal freezing (freeze damage) resulting from failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance or storage in ac

        cordance with SunGrabber’s operating and maintenance instructions.

   4. To conditions resulting from any misuse, abuse, neglect, accident, or alterations.

   5. To normal fading and minor deterioration of exterior surfaces resulting from exposure to the elements, except conditions that do or will affect 

       performance.

   6. Damage caused by natural phenomenon 

B. NO WARRANTY OF PERFORMANCE OF THE SOLAR COLLECTORS AND SYSTEM:

SunGrabber makes no warranty as to the performance of its solar collectors as to any particular temperature or level to which the water will be heated, 

since this depends upon the amount and intensity of sunlight and other variable factors which are impossible to predict and which cannot be controlled.

C. LIMITATIONS ON EXCLUSION FROM COVERAGE:

The above warranty shall not be considered to be violated or its coverage in any way reduced by conditions that may occur in the normal operation of 

the system.

5. SOME THINGS BUYER MUST DO

A. PROPER INSTALLATION:

INSTALLATIONS MUST BE PERFORMED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THE PRODUCT.

B. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:

Provide reasonable and necessary maintenance in accordance with SunGrabber’s operating and maintenance instructions.

C. KEEPING SUNGRABBER INFORMED:

If it appears to you that any warranted component or part is not functioning properly, promptly notify SunGrabber. Early attention to a minor problem may 

help avoid serious problems later.

6. WHAT SUNGRABBER WILL DO

A. REPAIR OR SERVICE:

If a defect in material or workmanship becomes evident during the warranty period, SunGrabber will repair or, at its option, replace the malfunctioning 

solar collector with a new solar collector of at least the same quality, within a reasonable time, upon payment of the charges described below. All replace-

ment parts and repairs shall assume the remaining warranty period of the part(s) repaired or replaced.  To verify that your warranty is still in effect, you 

should be prepared to furnish evidence of date of Purchase, purchase price and send photos showing that the installation was performed according to 

the instructions included with the collector. The system must be returned to dealer, distributor, or SunGrabber at homeowner’s expense.

B. IF REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED:

To obtain replacement of the defective solar collector under the warranty, you are required to pay the difference between:

a) SunGrabber’s suggested retail price for the solar collector at the time the warranty claim is made, and

b) the prorated portion of SunGrabber’s suggested retail price for the solar collector at the time of the original purchase, in accordance with the following
