As homeowners, investing in high-quality pool equipment is just the first step in enjoying a relaxing and safe swimming experience. At NorCal Pool Service, we understand the importance of protecting your investment with comprehensive warranty coverage. Pentair, a renowned manufacturer of innovative pool and spa equipment, offers a robust warranty program that provides years of protection for their products.

The length of warranty coverage varies depending on the product type, purchase location, and proof of professional installation. With state-of-the-art workmanship and materials, Pentair products are built to last, and their warranty program ensures that you’re covered in case of any issues. Our team is here to service your needs and provide expert assistance with any warranty-related questions or claims.

The Pentair Pool Warranty Guide: Coverage Basics

The Pentair pool warranty guide is designed to help homeowners navigate the complexities of warranty coverage for their pool systems and parts. Understanding the different types of warranties and their coverage is essential for making informed purchasing decisions.

Standard vs. Bundle vs. E-Commerce Warranties

Pentair offers three distinct warranty types: Standard, Bundle, and E-Commerce. The Standard Warranty provides a minimum of one-year parts and labor coverage for professionally installed products. The Bundle Warranty extends coverage to three years for parts and labor when qualifying bundled equipment is installed. In contrast, the E-Commerce Warranty offers a one-year parts-only warranty for products purchased online.

Warranty Duration by Product Type

Warranty duration varies significantly across different Pentair products. Certain high-performance products, such as the IntelliFlo3 VSF Pool Pump and ETi 250 & 400 High-Efficiency Heaters, come with extended 3-year warranties. Other products, like single-speed pumps, typically receive the standard 1-year coverage.

Professional Installation Requirements

Professional installation is a critical requirement for most Pentair products to receive full warranty benefits. This means that products must be installed by a qualified professional who charges a fee for their services and possesses the necessary business or contractor’s license.

How to Register Your Pentair Products for Warranty Protection

Securing your Pentair product warranty involves a straightforward registration process that can be completed either online or by mail. This crucial step ensures that your product is covered under the manufacturer’s warranty, providing you with peace of mind and protection against defects or malfunctions.

Online Registration Process

The online registration process is the fastest and most efficient way to register your Pentair products. By visiting Pentair’s official website, you can quickly submit your product information and receive instant confirmation of your warranty activation. This method ensures that your product is registered accurately and promptly.

Documentation You’ll Need

To register your Pentair products, you’ll need to have certain documents on hand. These include your original dated store invoice, product model and serial numbers, and proof of professional installation if required. Ensuring you have these documents ready will streamline the registration process.

Warranty Transfer to New Homeowners

One of the valuable features of Pentair warranties is their transferability to new homeowners. If you decide to sell your property, the warranty can be transferred to the new owner, making your pool equipment an attractive selling point. To transfer the warranty, the new homeowner will need to provide proof of the original purchase and verify that the product remains in its original installation location.

At NorCal Pool Service, we can assist with both new registrations and warranty transfers. For assistance, you can call us at 925-549-6801 or email us at servicerequest@norcalpool.com. Ensuring your warranty is properly registered and maintained is crucial for protecting your investment.
