| Warranty terms | Expert Line pump sold only through pool pros: 3 years parts and labor when sold by a Totally Hayward partner (sell sheet); the product page lists 3 years parts and 1 year labor. Exclusions and other terms at hayward.com/expert; Hayward does not publish separate terms for online buyers. | Speck limited warranty: 2 years from purchase (no more than 3 years from factory shipment), repair, replace or refund, no labor; it is conditional on installation by a qualified pool professional and a licensed electrician, so a DIY install voids it. |
