This Baracuda G3 was carefully inspected before shipment from our warehouse. Upon unpacking, if any part proves defective or missing, please notify Zodiac Pool
Care, Inc. immediately. Please consult owner’s manual for complete instructions on the installation and operation of your Baracuda G3.

ZODIAC POOL CARE, INC. WARRANTS THE BARACUDA G3 POOL CLEANER AGAINST ALL MANUFACTURING DEFECTS AND ALL WEAR

AND TEAR FOR THE FIRST TWO (2) YEARS INCLUDING THE BARACUDA G3 HOSE. 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.

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. The Baracuda G3 Pool Cleaner doesn’t work under pool cover.

6. The Baracuda G3 is not warranted for use in pools sanitized or treated by biguanide products such as Baquacil*, Revacil** or Softswim***.

BARACUDA G3 POOL CLEANER. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES IMPOSED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO EACH COMPONENT OF THE
BARACUDA G3 ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH COMPONENT. SOME
STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO
YOU.

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.

No claim under this Limited Warranty will be recognized unless the registration card, included in your box, is completed and returned within fifteen (15) days of the

purchase date. Only the original purchaser may submit a claim under this Limited Warranty. Purchaser’s claims against Zodiac Pool Care, Inc. shall be limited to
