This Kontiki 2 was carefully inspected before shipment from our warehouse. Upon unpacking, if any part proves defective or missing,

ZPS WARRANTS THE KONTIKI 2 POOL CLEANER AGAINST ALL MANUFACTURING DEFECTS AND ALL WEAR AND TEAR FOR
US/MEXICO
CANADA
NINETY (90) DAYS
ONE (1) YEAR
ALL WARRANTIES ARE EFFECTIVE FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE.
Should this product prove defective in workmanship, materials or wear during the applicable warranty period, the consumer’s sole
and exclusive remedy shall be 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 KONTIKI 2 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 Kontiki 2 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 Kontiki 2. 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 Kontiki 2 is designed for use in aboveground 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 ZPS 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. ZPS 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 Kontiki 2, 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 Kontiki 2 before having a qualified professional perform the necessary repairs.
ZPS will not be responsible for liner damage caused by (1) a Kontiki 2 cleaner which is in disrepair, (2) pattern removal
from a vinyl liner, or (3) a Kontiki 2 cleaner used in a pool having an aged or deteriorated liner.
