Warranty & Guarantees

Mr Pool Man is always willing and happy to assist all customers with warranty requests, please contact us to resolve any issues and we will ensure that we will do what we can for all parties. For direct replacement warranty the matter is usually actioned by the manufacturer’s as this is the quickest source of resolution. For all other matters, the issue must be determined and what caused it by an authorised service agent to inspect and assess and they will determine if the issue is product related or not.

The service agent will refer back to the manufacturer if needed to assist with actioning any matter. The manufacturer will cover parts and labour for any product related matter if determined by the service agent inspection and within the warranty period for labour and parts, except for those exceptions as detailed in the terms and conditions.

Customers will be charged by service agents for the following – inspection, non product related matters, out of labour warranty period for that product. From time to time the manufacturer might want to get the product back for closer inspection. Time frame subject to the service agent level of business activity to action and complete once accepting claim is 3-5 business days.

Normal wear and tear, product consumables, corrosion, abrasive chemicals and any lack of preventative maintenance are not covered.

For any claim for warranty please refer to the attached and below manufacturer’s warranty schedule and terms and conditions via the website links.

Warranty action is determined by the product and its respective warranty cover. Some products are replacement only, workshop only and infield cover and different products have different periods of cover for both parts and labour.
