heater such as cleaning of the heat exchanger (due to the build-up of calcium or other 
minerals or metals), leakage from plumbing connections, relief valves, heat exchanger 
gaskets, thermostats, or any other component of the heater. This labor must be performed 
by a qualified installer. Proof of labor costs may be required as a condition of payment of 
the Tank Replacement Labor Allowance.

other cost involving the repair of replacement of such component parts. 

YOUR ACTION:

 When you discover a defect, immediately notify the dealer from whom the 

heater was purchased. If you cannot locate the dealer, contact the Company. 

LIMITED PARTS WARRANTY 
DURATION: 

The warranty is effective for (1) year beginning with the date of original 

purchase. This warranty shall begin from the date of manufacture as indicated by the serial 
number. 

COVERAGE:

 The warranty covers any component part of the 

Top Performer

COMPANY OBLIGATION:

 The warranty covers any component of the 

Top Performer

 

water heater proven to be defective in workmanship or material. Recovery under the terms 
of this agreement is subject to prior approval by the Company. 

EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS 

Limited Warranty and Tank Replacement Policy are valid only if you comply with the 
following conditions and limitations: 
1. 

The 

Top  Performer

 must  be  correctly  installed  according  to  the  installation manual 

provided with the unit and all applicable local and national codes. 

2. 

The unit must be operated within the factory calibrated temperature limits and water 
pressure not exceeding 150 psi. 

3. 

Any failure or malfunction that results from improper or negligent operation, accident, 
abuse (including freezing), misuse, unauthorized alteration or improper maintenance 
is specifically excluded. 

4. 

Any  failure  or  malfunction  that  results  from  failure  to  keep  the  tank  full  of  potable 
water,  free  to  circulate  at  all  times;  and  free  of  damaging  water  sediment  or  scale 
deposits  is  specifically  excluded.  In  areas  where  adverse  water  conditions  are 
suspected  (i.e.  calcium  and  other  minerals),  it  is  essential  that  the  water  be  tested 
and appropriate action be taken to prevent damage to the Top Performer tank. It may 
be  necessary  to  remove  the  heat  exchanger  for  cleaning  to  maintain  maximum 
performance in poor water areas. 

Diminished performance due to the build-up of 

calcium  or  other  minerals,  metals,  or  deposits  on  the  heat  exchanger  is 
specifically excluded from the coverage of these warranties. 

5. 

This Limited Warranty and Tank Replacement Policy specifically exclude any implied 
warranty  of  merchantability  or  of  fitness  for  any  particular  purpose,  as  well  as  any 
performance warranty.

 

 

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR 
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER.

 Some states do not allow the exclusion 

or limitation of implied warranties or of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so 
the above limitation(s) or exclusion(s) may not apply to you. 

SPECIFIC LIMITATIONS:

 If any provision or part of this warranty is declared invalid the 

remaining provisions (or parts thereof) shall remain in full force and effect. This is the only 
warranty for this heater made by the Company. It does not authorize Company 
representatives or other persons to vary the terms of this warranty or to assume for the 
Company any other obligations or liabilities with respect to this product.
