This Limited Warranty is void if The Pod Company or its designated representative determines that the chiller or ice bath connected has been subjected to damage or failure due to installation of aftermarket parts that are not Genuine Pod Company branded Parts & Accessories. This disclaimer includes, but is not limited to filters, pumps, valves, repair parts and other accessories. Genuine Pod Company brand Parts & Accessories are built to our highest standards of quality, durability and performance, and they are designed to work with your chiller to ensure optimal performance and function. 

PERFORMANCE & TEMPERATURE

To obtain service in the event of a defect covered by this Limited Warranty, notify Pod Company as soon as possible and use all reasonable means to protect the chiller from further damage. Upon proof of purchase, a designated service representative will correct the defect subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Limited Warranty. There will be no charge for parts or labor to repair the defect, although providing access to affect the repair is your responsibility as the owner. The cost of removal and reinstallation will be your responsibility as the chiller owner. The Manufacturer reserves the right, at its sole option, to either repair or replace any covered part, and in the event it chooses to provide a replacement chiller, it will be of equal value to the original chiller. In such an event, reasonable costs for removal of the original chiller, shipping costs from the factory for the replacement chiller and delivery and installation of the replacement will be your responsibility as the chiller owner. The replacement chiller will carry the balance of the original chiller’s warranty.

The temperature the pod chiller can cool to it's advertised temperature in most cases, but please understand variations of up to +- 5°F is possible, and not covered under warranty. This can be due to many factors such as extreme heat climates, sun exposure to the ice bath, low amp power supply etc. 

WARRANTY LIMITATIONS 

This Limited Warranty is void if: Used in a commercial setting, the Manufacturer or its designated representative determines that the chiller and ice bath connected has been subjected to alteration, neglect, misuse or abuse, or freight damage caused by the common carrier; any repairs have been attempted by anyone other than a designated representative; or if the failure is caused by accident, acts of God or other causes beyond the control of the Manufacturer. Neglect, misuse and abuse include any installation, operation or maintenance of the chiller other than in accordance with the instructions contained in the owner’s manual provided with the chiller, including but not limited to the failure to maintain proper water chemistry and chemical balance and the use of abrasive or improper cleaners or non-genuine parts and accessories. Chiller's used in commercial applications are excluded from any coverage whatsoever. The chiller owner accepts liability for repair work performed by anyone other than the Manufacturer or a designated representative. The Pod Company is not responsible for work performed on any units outside of the contiguous United States. 

The limited warranty is also voided if proper maintenance as per the instructions are not kept. This include monthly filter changes, poor water chemistry and maintenance, or other forms of neglect. The chiller's warranty is ultimately voided if 2 months without filter change goes by, or if the chiller is left with stagnant water inside for 6+ months without being turned on.

The chiller warranty also do not cover damage caused by freezing conditions. It is the customers responsibility to not leave the chiller outside in freezing conditions, as this can break the pipes and water tank of the chiller. We always recommend emptying the chiller from water by disconnecting the hoses and tipping it to let water drain out, and thereafter storing it inside in non-freezing conditions until needed again. The purpose of the chiller is to operate in warmer temperatures, to keep your water cold, and there's no need to have your chiller connected to the IcePod, when it's freezing conditions outside, as your water will maintain the cold temperatures needed naturally.
