ZODIAC WARRANTS THIS ZIPPY POOL CLEANER AGAINST ALL MANUFACTURING DEFECTS AND ALL WEAR AND TEAR FOR (2)
YEARS. 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

THE LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED HEREIN IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WRITTEN WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE ZIPPY
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 JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO
THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
NOTICE: As a term of any warranties provided above, you must contact Zodiac Pool Care immediately upon the happening of any event upon
which you make a warranty claim. Failure to provide this prompt notice may result in your forfeiting warranty rights and claim.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY EXCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:
1. Discoloration of the Zippy 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 Zippy. 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 unau-
thorized repair personnel.
4. Age, pool water imbalance, and improper installation can cause vinyl pool liners to become brittle or unduly wrinkled. Corrosion of the sup-
porting 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 Zippy is designed for use in aboveground pools only. (Not including aboveground pools with slopes or hoppers.) 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 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 pos-
sibility 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. 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 Zippy, 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 Zippy before having a qualified professional perform the necessary repairs
or liner replacement.
ZODIAC WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LINER DAMAGE CAUSED BY (1) A ZIPPY CLEANER WHICH IS IN DISREPAIR,
(2) PATTERN REMOVAL FROM A VINYL LINER, OR (3) A ZIPPY CLEANER USED IN A POOL HAVING AN AGED OR
DETERIORATED LINER.
