Chances are, when you are in the midst of talking to swimming pool contractors and making decisions and putting budgets together you may not have stopped to consider what pool equipment comes with warranties, what those warranties cover and for how long. Ask the swimming pool contractors at Advanced Pool Care what kind of warranty comes with the pool construction, the liner and the myriad equipment and parts that go into making your swimming pool operational. Because a swimming pool is such a major investment you need to make certain your contractor provides you that information and lets you know whether one manufacturer offers a different warranty as compared to another.
In addition to gaining an understanding of the warranty information for the various pumps, filters and other equipment, you will want to ask what kind of warranty comes with your swimming pool liner. Remember, a warranty isn’t a guarantee that your liner won’t fail — rip or tear — there are myriad reasons why a liner could fail including improper cleaning methods, nature or incorrect maintenance and upkeep. When you consider that your swimming pool liner — at its most basic — is a piece of vinyl or fiberglass that can easily fall fall victim to tears, punctures, holes, cracks, wrinkles or other liner failures, you need to understand your warranty information.
Prior to any purchase, talk with the swimming pool contractors in Memphis, Tennessee and see the type of warranty they provide and what it covers and what out of pocket costs you may have to bear prior to a replacement or repair. Read the fine print to discover exactly what is covered – and more importantly, what’s not covered.
Swimming pool warranties can help you right out of the box — literally — if the liner has issues once it is unpacked by your pool contractor. A liner that leaks upon arrival would likely be covered by the manufacturer because it doesn’t want to sell a customer improper or faulty installation in the event the swimming pool liner was manufactured incorrectly, and as a result should be covered under warranty. Additionally, pool liner manufacturers do not want to risk their reputation with the pool builder as he may move on and start working with another.
If you keep in mind that even if your pool contractor offers you an all-in-one price, chances are the pool equipment comes with separate and individual warranties and guarantees and it pays to read the fine print.
