Warranty Information

1. This express warranty only applies if the Product has been purchased from a dealer authorised by Fluidra to supply it (Authorised Dealer). Purchase from an Authorised Dealer ensures that the product is a genuine Baracuda product, that it is the version designed for Asia Pacific conditions, and that the Purchaser has access to appropriate technical knowledge and advice.
2. The liability of Fluidra, under this express warranty is limited, at its option, to the repair or replacement of the Product or the payment of the cost of having the Product repaired or replaced.
3. This express warranty does not apply in the following circumstances: (a) if the Product has not been installed in accordance with Baracuda’s installation instructions; (b) if the Product has been modified other than as authorised by Fluidra or if a component part has been replaced by a part that is not a genuine Baracuda product; (c) if a defect results from use of the Product outside recommended operating conditions; or (d) if a defect results from damage (including damage to any internal electronics) caused by a power surge or lightning strike, insect or animal ingress. Baracuda chlorinators are designed and tested in accordance with International Standard EN 61000-6-1 immunity measurements, and are designed to tolerate minor surges of up to 2kV in mains voltage supply that can be reasonably expected. They will not tolerate power surges outside these limits nor will they withstand lightning strikes.
4. Without limiting 3 above, products sold by Fluidra are designed for use with swimming pool water balanced in accordance with Australian Standard AS3633-1989 and New Zealand Standard NZS 5826-2010 should be maintained within a pH range of 7.2 to 7.8. Free chlorine levels should be maintained at levels not exceeding 4ppm. Where pool water is not maintained within these parameters, Fluidra will not be responsible under this express warranty for any resulting damage, including damage caused by corrosion, scaling or stress loading. Fluidra recommends that water tests are conducted regularly, and testing results should be kept for reference purposes. Regular testing shall mean the pool water is analysed professionally at least once a month. Further to such professional testing, we highly recommend that at home testing be conducted at a minimum of once per week. Fluidra may request these results to verify a warranty claim.
5. Replacement parts supplied under this express warranty are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the remainder of the warranty period or for 12 months from the supply of the replacement, whichever is longer.
6. All spare parts sold are warranted free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of 12 months from date of purchase, this excludes travel charges, removal and reinstallation charges.
7. This express warranty is not transferable and applies to the original purchaser only.

11. Fluidra, as the case may be, reserves the right to determine, in relation to each warranty claim, whether the Product should be returned to the Authorised Dealer at the address where the Purchaser purchased the Product or whether warranty service will be provided in the field or repaired at a Baracuda workshop or at the premises of an authorized Baracuda warranty agent.
12. Should warranty services be provided in field and upon assessment of the issue deemed to be non-warranty, any call out charge shall be at the cost to the Purchaser.
13. Prior to returning the Product to Fluidra a warranty claim needs to be registered and approved. Products that are returned to Fluidra without approval may not be accepted and any return costs will be at the cost of the Purchaser.
