| Warranty | 3 years | 3 years |
| Warranty terms | 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. | Complete system (controller and cell bought and installed together): 3 years; a replacement cell bought later: 1 year. Jandy gives no warranty on products bought over the internet or through e-commerce, and requires professional installation where local codes call for it. Jandy sells TruClear only through local pool stores. |
