    • If your product is within the warranty period continue to the next step.
    2. Check that your product is not damaged due to a reason other than a manufacturing fault.
    • Corrosive water voids warranty: This is the Number 1 reason for issues with products. See here for corrosive water damage examples & info 
    • Installation problem: Electrical, gas, and other items must be fitted by a qualifed & experienced person. Proof of correct installation may be required.

      Warranty Claim General Information:

      Important: By far, the number one reason for faults in products is due to water chemistry. Bromine, low pH, High Chlorine, etc damages materials faster than anything else. All brands (eg Davey, Balboa, Gecko, Aeware, Astral, Raypak, Laing, SpaNet, LX, Pentair, Zodiac, etc) sold by us have been manufacturing equipment for decades.

      If a warranty claim is approved, we will repair or send another compatible or identical product, or issue a refund within 15 business days once item is returned.

      All warranty claims are subject to product return to us for inspection, or the manufacturer / distributor, to determine the cause of failure before any warranty repair or replacement can be approved. If the product is found to be defective with a manufacturing fault within the warranty period, the product will be repaired, replaced, or a refund will be given.

      It is expressly understood & agree that we shall not be liable or responsible for any costs incurred for labour, services, transportation, or any other charges that may arise in connection with the removal of an item and/or installation consequential (including, but not limited to incidental or consequential damages for lost profits, lost sales, injury to person or property, or any other incidental or consequential loss) resulting from the use or inability to use the product, and the user agrees that no other remedy shall be available to it.

      The maximum liability under this warranty shall not exceed the contract price of the product. This warranty applies in addition to other rights and remedies you may have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law.

      Warranty Does Not Cover:

      • Return Freight - Refunded if faulty item is deemed warrantable.
      • Labour, Installation, Removal, Programming, etc.
      • Callouts of any kind, any other work, etc.
      • Other materials to repair or replace an item.

      Equipment in Direct Contact with Water:

      Some signs & causes of damage that likely won't be covered by warranty:

      1. Metal corrosion - Spa equipment really only uses Stainless Steel, Bronze, Copper, Incolloy, Cupro-Nickel, Teflon-coatings and Titanium material for things like Impeller shafts, Mechanical Seals, Heater Elements, Heater Tubes, Heat Exchangers, etc.

      The only real cause of damage to these is due to corrosive water...Generally low pH (Acidic water). Humans often don't even notice the water having a low pH.

      On gas heaters, this can be the source of green or blueish water. This is from dissolved copper, and is the source of "green hair."

      On electrical heaters, this can show as signs of dissolved Teflon, crevice corrosion, pitting, leaking at terminals, etc. Often causes Errors and Tripping Power.

      Plastic Corrosion - many plastic parts are made of things like ABS & Glass-filled Nylon.

      Nylon in particular shows signs quickly of damage. This shows up as lightening of the plastic, glass fibres being exposed, or general dissolving. (eg, can be scraped with a fingernail).
      Jets also show signs of plastic damage by lightening, sloughing, or brittleness. (commonly causing jets to pop out, as the retainer tabs snap off.

      Other signs - O-rings, gaskets, seals & sensors.

      O-rings, gaskets and seals can also show signs of corrosive water in the form of Dissolving, becoming "gummy", cracking, hardening, etc. When any of these things occur, they may leak.

      Optical sensors often show signs of cloudiness or cracking.

      Signs of Calcium can also appear on equipment

      Testing for Corrosive Water on Equipment

      Corrosive water can be shown by testing the materials with specialized kits where it is suspected. Manufacturers don't always do this, as they are pretty fair, but in cases where there is a disagreement, they will certainly do so.

      Common causes of Corrosive Water:

      Bromine tablets / powder: This is by far the biggest source of corrosive water. Bromine itself is very acidic. It can make the water look absolutely sparkling. If not kept in check by regularly emptying and refilling the spa *AND* most importantly, by keeping the pH and Total Alkalinity up it can become corrosive very quickly. Many manufacturers will instantly void warranty where signs of bromine are used.

      Chlorine tablets: Trichlorisocyanuric acid ("Trichlor") should NEVER be used in a spa. It is simply far too strong, and extremely corrosive. No warranty will be valid by any manufacturer where this is used. 

      Generally low-pH: usually overdosing with Acids. Low pH makes Bromine & Chlorine more effective, but also damages everything else.

      "Cheap" Calcium-based chlorine. Some of the cheapest chlorine on the market comes as a powder, and is called "Calcium Hypochlorite." This can be as much as 70% calcium, which never comes back out of the water. The only way to remove it is by emptying water.
