| Warranty terms | Sold as a 7-year limited warranty, but it is prorated: parts free in year 1, then supplied at 20% (year 2), 40% (year 3), 60% (year 4) and 80% (years 5-7) of base price, covering the control module and cell. No labor or shipping. DIY installation keeps the warranty (CircuPool sells direct online). Commercial use: 1 year. | TradeGrade product: 3 years or 10,000 operating hours, whichever comes first, when bought from and installed by a pool professional (Plus cells). Pentair's warranty page gives TradeGrade products bought online a much shorter limited warranty (60 days on the product page; 1 year, parts only, on the warranty page), so DIY online buyers get far less cover. |
