EXCLUSIONS FROM LIMITED WARRANTY

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.

DuoClear Limited Warranty

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 purify 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 the DuoClear 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
purification 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.
