Good vs Bad Pool Chlorinator Warranties
Some pool chlorinator warranties are next to worthless. Here’s how to tell the difference between a good warranty and a bad one.
Importance of a Good Pool Chlorinator Warranty
A pool is an investment that needs to be protected by a reliable pool chlorinator. Likewise, it is important to also protect the health of anyone who uses the pool. So, if the company who makes the pool chlorinator you decide to purchase doesn’t believe in their product enough to provide a good warranty, then how can you trust the chlorinator itself?
A good pool chlorinator warranty provides peace of mind knowing that your investment is protected against potential defects or malfunctions and that you won’t have to bear the financial burden of repair or replacement costs.
Warranty Period.
Many pool chlorinators only come with a 12 or 24 month warranty, which makes you wonder if the manufacturer believes in their own product. Australian Made K-Chlor pool chlorinators come with a 5 year warranty.
Full vs. Pro-Rata Warranty
Unfortunately some companies look for ways to avoid having to honour a warranty claim by looking for loopholes in contract law. One such loophole is the offering of a pro-rata warranty instead of a full one. They still get to claim a long warranty period but the value of the warranty can be next to worthless. So what’s the difference?
Full Warranty
A full warranty means that the manufacturer must repair or replace the product during the specified warranty period. For example, high quality K-Chlor Chlorinators come with a 5 Year Full Warranty, NOT a Pro-Rata Warranty. At any time during that period your unit should fail due to faulty materials or manufacture we will repair or replace this for you free of charge. That’s peace of mind right?
Pro-Rata Warranty
Other companies offer a ‘Pro-Rata’ Warranty. This means that if their pool chlorinator fails before the end of it’s warranty period, it is only replaced or repaired to the value of what age it is at the time of failure i.e., a pro-rata warranty decreases the value of your purchase over time.
This type of warranty is also sometimes called partial warranty since only a part of the initial cost is covered. For example, if your pool chlorinator is covered for 4 years and an issue arises after 3 years, the company will assess how much it is then worth and only cover that amount, meaning they may well deem it to only be worth 1/4 of what you paid for it!
Which KChlor Pool Chlorinator is best for you?
It depends on the size of your pool. To calculate how many litres are in your pool simply multiply the length by the width and then the average depth (depth at the deep end plus depth at the shallow end divided by 2).
Even if your pool is not rectangular in shape, this is still a good way to measure it, as it is always a good idea to overestimate the pool size anyway, so the chlorinator you choose does not have to work too hard to maintain it. Therefore any curves in the pool can be ignored.
