Limited Warranty
HYDROMATIC warrants to the original consumer purchaser (“Purchaser” or “You”) of HYDROMATIC Sump Pumps, Effluent Pumps, Sewage Pumps
(other than 2-1/2”), and Package Systems, that they will be free from defects in material and workmanship for the Warranty Period of 36 months from
date of manufacture.
Our warranty will not apply to any product that, in our sole judgement, has been subject to negligence, misapplication, improper installation, or
improper maintenance. Without limiting the foregoing, operating a three phase motor with single phase power through a phase converter will void the
warranty. Note also that three phase motors must be protected by three-leg, ambient compensated, extra-quick trip overload relays of the recommended
size or the warranty is void.
Your only remedy, and HYDROMATIC’s only duty, is that HYDROMATIC repair or replace defective products (at HYDROMATIC’s choice). You must pay
all labor and shipping charges associated with this warranty and must request warranty service through the installing dealer as soon as a problem is
discovered. No request for service will be accepted if received after the Warranty Period has expired. This warranty is not transferable.
EXCEPTIONS: Hydromatic Special Application Pumps, Battery Back-Up Sump Pumps, Filtered Effluent Pumps, Grinder Pumps, and 2-1/2” Sewage
Pumps are warranted for a period of 12 months from date of purchase or 18 months from date of manufacture, whichever comes first.
HYDROMATIC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONTINGENT DAMAGES WHATSOEVER.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES SHALL NOT
EXTEND BEYOND THE DURATION EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitations on the duration of an implied warranty, so the
above limitations or exclusions may not apply to You. This warranty gives You specific legal rights and You may also have other rights which vary from
state to state.
This warranty supersedes and replaces all previous warranty publications.
