ZODIAC WARRANTS THIS WAHOO POOL CLEANER AGAINST ALL MANUFACTURING DEFECTS AND ALL WEAR AND TEAR FOR ONE (1) YEAR.
ALL WARRANTIES ARE EFFECTIVE FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE.
Should this product prove defective in workmanship, materials or wear during the appli cable 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 WAHOO 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 Wahoo 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 Wahoo. 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 Wahoo 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 Zodiac 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 jurisdictions 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 Wahoo, 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 Wahoo before having a qualified
professional perform the necessary repairs.
Zodiac will not be responsible for liner damage caused by (1) a Wahoo cleaner which is in disrepair, (2) pattern removal from a vinyl liner,
or (3) a Wahoo cleaner used in a pool having an aged or deteriorated liner.
