Clearwater LM Series Limited Warranty

The limited warranties contained within this document are the only warranties given with your Clearwater 
LM Series Chlorinator and supersede any prior warranties. All other warranties, expressed or implied, including the
implied warranty of merchantability or the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose are hereby disclaimed.
Our sole obligation under this warranty, and the purchaser’s sole remedy, is limited to the repair or replacement of the
Clearwater Chlorinator, or one of its parts. This Clearwater Limited Warranty applies to the original owner only.

CHLORINATOR AND CELL ELECTRODE WARRANTY

The manufacturer warrants this Clearwater Chlorinator to be free of defects in materials and workmanship 
for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase*.

In addition to the one (1) year warranty, the manufacturer further warrants the power pack for an additional 
two (2) year period (parts only) **.

In addition to the one (1) year warranty, the manufacturer further warrants on a pro-rated basis the cell 
electrode (parts only)**. In the second year the cell electrode will be replaced for a payment of 33% of current 
list price; in the third year the cell electrode will be replaced for a payment of 66% of the current list price.

* If no proof of purchase date is supplied, the warranty period begins on the date of manufacturer as encoded  
on the product. ** The cost of field service calls and/or freight cost to return goods for repair are not covered 
by this warranty after the one (1) year unconditional period has expired.

EXCLUSIONS FROM WARRANTY

The Clearwater Chlorinator is designed for residential use only and any commercial application voids 
all warranty. If the unit is used in any application other than as a chlorinator in a swimming pool, the purchaser and/or
end-user releases the manufacturer from any and all claims related to the use of the Clearwater Chlorinator and agrees
to indemnify the manufacturer from any claims related to improper or non-authorized use.

This warranty does not cover problems arising from whole or in part from purchaser’s or user’s negligence, misuse or
abuse, improper maintenance or installation, accident, improper application, failure to follow all safety instructions or
precautions, Acts of God, abnormal weather conditions, damage from plants or animals and improper use of
chemicals.

This warranty specifically excludes all incidental or consequential damages, except where state law requires them to
be paid. This warranty gives you specific rights. You may have other rights that vary from state to state.

Due to constant developments and improvements, specifications may change without notice.

DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY: SALT AND MATERIALS IN A POOL AND SPA

It is important to note that certain materials used in and around swimming pools and spas may not be compatible
with chemicals commonly used to sanitize pool and spa water (e.g. acids, chlorine, salt, stabilizers, etc.).

Zodiac Pool Care, Inc. does not warrant or guarantee that the chlorinated water generated by a Clearwater saltwater
chlorinator will not damage or destroy certain types of plants, decking, coping and other materials in and around your
pool and/or spa. Before selecting materials to be used around the pool and/or spa, evaluate all options to assess the
compatibility of such materials with chemicals.

Some recommendations:

• 

Choose plants that can withstand splash out of pool water containing chlorine and/or salt, and other water
sanitization chemicals.

• 

Use only high-grade, quality stainless steel metal components in and around the pool area.

• 

Select masonry products carefully. Porosity and hardness of natural stones varies greatly. Consult your
builder/stone contractor for the best choice of stone materials around your pool or spa.

• 

Seal all masonry products. Even natural stone, especially when used outdoors, should be sealed to prevent
weathering, staining, and premature degradation. Consult with your stone/deck contractor about the proper
sealant for the masonry products selected. For the optimal results, sealers should be reapplied on a regular
basis. Reapply the protective sealer on a schedule per the manufacturer’s instructions.
