SpectraPure, Inc.

®

 warrants the product to the original owner only to be free of defects in material 

and workmanship for a period of three years from the date of receipt. SpectraPure’s liability under 
this warranty shall be limited to repairing or replacing at SpectraPure’s option, without charge, 
F.O.B. SpectraPure’s factory, any product of SpectraPure’s manufacture. SpectraPure will not be 
liable for any cost of removal, installation, transportation or any other charges which may arise in 
connection with a warranty claim. Products which are sold but not manufactured by SpectraPure 
are subject to the warranty provided by the manufacturer of said products and not by SpectraPure’s 
warranty. SpectraPure will not be liable for damage or wear to products caused by abnormal 
operating conditions, accident, abuse, misuse, unauthorized alteration or repair or, if the product 
was not installed in accordance with SpectraPure’s or other manufacture’s printed installation and 
operating conditions, or damage caused by hot water, freezing, flood, fire or acts of God. 
SpectraPure will not be responsible for any consequential damages arising from installation or use 
of the product, including any water or mold damage due to flooding which may occur due to 
malfunction or faulty installation, including, but not limited to failure by installer to over- or under-
tighten fittings, housings, and/or push-style fittings, or improper installation of push-style fittings. 
Consumable items such as prefilters and membranes are not covered under the 3 year warranty.
SpectraPure warrants (prorated) the performance of tested SpectraSelectPlus™ RO membrane 
elements only, for one year from date of receipt by the buyer, providing that the loss of performance 
was not caused by fouling, neglect or water conditions exceeding the feed water parameters listed 
in the applicable product manual (refer to detailed membrane warranty information). SpectraPure 
will, on confirmation of loss of performance during the warranty period, credit the prorated amount 
of the current catalog price of the element. The disposable filters and  cartridges are not covered 
under the warranty.
To obtain service under this warranty, the defective system or components must be returned to 
SpectraPure with proof of purchase, installation date, failure date and supporting installation data. Any 
defective product to be returned to the factory must be sent freight prepaid; documentation supporting 
the warranty claim and a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number must be included. 
SpectraPure will not be liable for shipping damages due to the improper packaging of the returned 
equipment and all returned goods must also have adequate insurance coverage and a tracking number. 
SpectraPure will not pay for loss or damage caused directly or indirectly by the presence, growth, 
proliferation, spread or any activity of “fungus”, wet or dry rot or bacteria. Such loss or damage is 
excluded regardless of any other cause or event that contributes concurrently or in any sequence 
to the loss. We will not pay for loss or damage caused by or resulting from continuous or repeated 
seepage or leakage of water, or the presence or condensation of humidity, moisture or vapor, that 
occurs over a period of 14 days or more. “Fungus” and “fungi” mean any type or form of fungus or 
Mycota or any byproduct or type of infestation produced by such fungus or Mycota, including but 
not limited to, mold, mildew, mycotoxins, spores, scents or any biogenic aerosols. 
SpectraPure will not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses 
arising from installation, use, or any other causes. There are no expressed or implied warranties, 
including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, which extend beyond those warranties 
described or referred to above.

* The three year limited warranty does not apply to consumable items, including but 

not  limited to, filters and cartridges unless specifically stated above.
