5 Ways Homeowners Can Protect a Pool Equipment Warranty

A warranty only helps if a claim is approved. Manufacturers look at where the equipment was bought, who installed it, and how it was maintained.

First, buy from an authorized store, pool builder, or pool professional, since many brands limit or exclude coverage on internet purchases. Second, register the equipment after installation and keep the receipt and the installer invoice. Third, follow the owner manual and keep water chemistry balanced, because damage from poor chemistry or freezing can lead to a denied claim.

Fourth, use original replacement parts. Fifth, if something fails, stop and call your pool professional before attempting a repair yourself. Always check your manufacturer for the current terms.
