LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

Scope

APEC takes pride in selling a superb line of products, including this reverse osmosis system (“Product”).  As such, APEC expressly 
warrants to the original purchaser that, for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase, the Product will be reasonably free of 
defects in materials and workmanship.  Within that one (1) year period from the original purchase, APEC will, at its option, repair or 
replace the Product without charge, or refund the cost of the Product, if the Product fails or does not perform as warranted solely due 
to a manufacturing defect within the warranty period, subject to the limitations and exclusions set forth in this Limited Product War-
ranty.  This Limited Product Warranty only applies when the Product is used, stored, handled, fabricated and/or installed in the manner 
recommended by APEC in the Installation Instruction & Owner’s Manual (“Manual”).

Repair or Replacement

Repair or replacement during this one (1) year warranty shall include reasonable labor charges necessary to repair or replace the de-
fective Product, but shall not include freight charges or any other local labor charges from third parties other than APEC, unless APEC 
expressly approves such charges in writing.  During the entire one (1) year warranty, APEC’s obligation to repair or replace shall further 
be limited to repair or replacement with the styles, models, products, colors, etc. of the Product that are available at the time of the 
repair or replacement, and shall be limited to the repair or replacement of only the specific Product that fails due to a manufacturing 
defect. Any repaired or replaced product shall also remain subject to the original one (1) year warranty from the date of the original 
purchase, and any repair or replacement shall not extend the original warranty period in any manner or start a new warranty period.

Conditions of Validity of this Limited Product Warranty

Even though the Product has extremely high endurance for operating conditions such as pH, maximum TDS, temperature, and opti-
mum water pressure, THIS LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY SHALL ONLY BE VALID IF:

1. The replaceable filters and membrane are changed and maintained on a regular basis as directed in the Manual.  Moreover, 

depending on local water input water quality, regular maintenance may need to be increased.  

2. The Product is operated within the confines of the following standard operating conditions:

Any information or suggestion by APEC with respect to the Product concerning applications, specifications or compliance with codes 
and standards is provided solely for your convenient reference and is made without any representation as to accuracy or suitability. You 
must verify and test the suitability of any information with respect to the Product for your specific application.

Non-Covered Defects

compliance with the installation, maintenance and standard operation conditions stated in the Manual and this Limited Product 

Warranty.

2. Unreasonable use, unintended use, or misuse of the Product for something other than its intended purpose as a reverse osmosis 

system.

3. Use of replacement parts, filters, membranes or other accessories that are not sold or manufactured by APEC for use with this 

particular Product.
