such repair or replacement of the product as provided below.
THE LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED HEREIN IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WRITTEN WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE
BARACUDA G3 POOL CLEANER. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES IMPOSED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS LIMITED
WARRANTY. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY EXCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:
1. Discoloration of the BARACUDA G3 pool cleaner. This is caused by reaction to ultraviolet rays and the chemicals used in the pool water. Discoloration does not
affect the operating ability of the BARACUDA G3. Therefore, this Limited Warranty does not cover the replacement of discolored parts.
2. Damage to or malfunction of the unit resulting from excess chlorination or improper water chemistry balance.
3. Replacement of parts which fail or become defective as a result of improper installation, negligence, misuse, abuse or tampering by unauthorized repair personnel.
4. Age, pool water imbalance, and improper installation can cause vinyl pool liners to become brittle or unduly wrinkled. Corrosion of the supporting walls and /or
irregularities in the pool base may also cause liner failure. The use of this product in such an environment is at the pool owner’s risk. Therefore, the pool owner
hereby releases the manufacturer from any and all claims for damage where these conditions exist.
5. The BARACUDA G3 is designed for use in inground pools only. If unit is used in any other application, the pool owner hereby releases the manufacturer from any
and all claims. This misuse will void all warranty on the unit.
6. In no event shall Zodiac Pool Care, Inc. be liable in contract or in tort, or under any other legal theory, for lost profits or revenues, loss of use or similar economic
loss, or for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or similar damages, even if it has been advised of the possibility of such claim. Some states do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
IMPORTANT WARRANTY NOTICES FOR VINYL LINER POOL OWNERS
• Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear or pattern removal caused by objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface,
including pool brushes, pool toys, floats, fountains, chlorine dispensers, and automatic pool cleaners.
• Some vinyl liner patterns can be seriously scratched or abraded simply by rubbing the surface with a pool brush. Ink from the pattern can also rub off during the
installation process or when it comes into contact with objects in the pool.
Zodiac is not responsible for, and the Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern
removal, abrasion or marking on vinyl liners.
• Vinyl liners are subject to deterioration or damage due to age, the effect of chemicals, corrosion or failure of the supporting walls; as well as improper installation,
maintenance or cleaning of the supporting walls or base.
• Before installing the Baracuda G3, examine the interior of your pool carefully. If your vinyl liner is brittle or has stones, wrinkles, roots or metal corrosion in contact
with the underside of the liner, or has damage to the base material or supporting walls, do not install the Baracuda G3 before having a qualified professional perform
the necessary repairs.
ZODIAC POOL CARE, INC. WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LINER DAMAGE CAUSED BY (1) A BARACUDA G3 CLEANER WHICH IS IN
DISREPAIR, (2) PATTERN REMOVAL FROM A VINYL LINER, OR (3) A BARACUDA G3 CLEANER USED IN A POOL HAVING AN AGED OR
DETERIORATED LINER.
