| Warranty and models | |
| Warranty | 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. |
