Warranty –
Factory warranty (shipped with unit) does not apply to units improperly installed or improperly operated.
Experience has shown that improper installation or system design, rather than faulty equipment, is the cause of most operating problems.
1.Improper maintenance of pool water chemistry resulting in high water hardness and high alkalinity that results in a lime scale build up in the copper tube is not the fault of the equipment and is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty (see Facts About Water Chemistry in the EnergyRite Service Manual).
2.Excessive pitting and erosion on the inside of the copper tube may be caused by too much water velocity through the tubes and is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty (see Water Connections in the EnergyRite Installation and Operation Manual).
