SWIMMING POOL LINER WARRANTY

HOW TO FILE A CLAIM

All necessary warranty and care information is enclosed with each liner. It is the retailer’s responsibility to present this information to the purchaser. It is very important to complete and return the Latham Pool Products, Inc. warranty card within the first 30 days following installation of a new vinyl liner. Our web site, www.yourpoolwarranty.com, may also be used to register a warranty. Doing so validates your acceptance of the product and its instructions for use and care. It also registers your ownership and simplifies claims processing in the unlikely event you may need that type of assistance. Please follow these easy steps when contacting us:

1) If you believe you have a warranty claim that occurs within five years of the date your product is installed, please contact the retail seller of the Latham Pool Products, Inc. liner. If a manufacturing defect is the cause of a product failure, the seller of the product is responsible for contacting the distributor from whom the liner was purchased. Instruction will be provided to the seller as to the process by which the liner will be repaired or replaced. Please do not contact the Warranty Service department if a liner has been in use less than five years.

2) After the fifth year, the purchaser of the product is responsible for contacting Latham Pool Products, Inc. directly. Our Warranty Service department can be reached at 888-MYPOOL2. Please have available the Latham Pool Products, Inc. liner serial number. The product serial number is located at the bottom right corner of your portion of the written warranty. It is the eleven-digit number beneath the bar code. If the written warranty is misplaced or has not been given to you, the serial number can also be found on the back of the liner. The skill level necessary to accomplish the following is usually found in persons with experience in liner installation: Locate the vertical wall seam nearest the deep end of the pool. With moderate pressure, rub your hand within 8" of either side of the seam and within 12" from the top of the liner. The serial number tag will be detected by its greater thickness in relation to the liner. Using both hands force the liner material up toward the receiver track and lift the bead up and out of the track. Warming the vinyl will make this process much easier. In the case of overlap, aboveground liners, some portion of the top rail and/or fastening mechanism may require removal. Read and record the serial number prior to contacting Latham Pool Products, Inc.

3) A Warranty Service representative will also ask for a claimant’s name, address, phone number, product serial number, and the date it was installed, the business name of the product seller and a description of the claimed defect. A claim number will be assigned. Please record and save the claim number. The Warranty Service representative may require the original seller/installer to inspect the product to verify the cause of the failure. The representative may also ask for digital or paper photographs of the area suspected of being defective and/or the return of the defective liner or portion of the liner. In either case, the appropriate mailing address will be provided. Upon review, the purchaser will be informed as soon as possible as to the disposition of the claim.

4) When a claim is validated and the replacement cost is established, the purchaser will be invited to replace their existing liner using current patterns and/or upgrades. Purchases on a new replacement liner through a warranty claim must be made through Latham Pool Products, Inc. Warranty Department. Pattern changes are free. Upgrades, such as thicker material or non-standard material matches, will be priced identically to the then published list price minus the applicable pro-rated discount. Master Card and Visa are accepted.

5) Latham Pool Products, Inc. will not be responsible for costs related to labor, removal, repair, replacement, or shipping. Taxes will be applied to each sale in the requiring states.

6) Latham Pool Products, Inc. reserves the right to change its warranty claim filing instructions and procedures from time to time. Please contact your authorized Latham Pool Products, Inc. retailer for the latest instructions that apply to your warranty claim.
