AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR WARRANTY GUIDELINE
The following is a recommended warranty guideline for Bluewater products purchased through Bluewater Authorized Distributors. Where a product was bought from an Authorized Distributor, that distributor's warranty terms apply and may differ from the standard Bluewater limited warranty set out above.
WARRANTY COVERAGE AND DURATION
Bluewater Authorized Distributors provide high-quality reverse osmosis (RO) water purifiers and related products, including accessories and consumables. The standard warranty coverage is as follows:
- RO Machines and Main Components: A 3-year limited warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects. This includes pumps, housings, electronics, and non-wearable parts.
- RO Membranes (Non-Integrated With Pre-Filters): A 2-year limited warranty from the date of purchase. Valid only if used with approved pre-filtration (for example sediment and carbon filters) and within specified water conditions.
- Consumables (Excluded From Warranty): Pre-filters, UV-C lamps, post-filters, consumable O-rings, and safety valve pads are not covered, due to normal wear and tear.
EXTENDED WARRANTY
- Authorized Distributors may, at their own initiative and expense, offer extended warranty periods (for example 4 or 5 years) through separate service contracts.
- Bluewater Group does not cover, reimburse, or assume liability for any extended warranty period offered by distributors.
- Terms, pricing, and conditions of extended warranties are solely determined by the Authorized Distributor.
DISTRIBUTOR WARRANTY CLAIMS PROCESS
- Claims under the standard warranty (3 years for machines, 2 years for membranes) must be processed through the original purchase point.
- For distributor-provided extended warranties, customers must follow the distributor's specific claim procedure.
EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
The warranty does not cover:
- Damage from improper installation, misuse, or neglect (for example failure to replace filters).
- Unauthorized repairs or modifications.
- Consumables, as listed above.
- External factors, such as power surges and floods.
TRANSFERABILITY AND FINAL NOTES
- The standard warranty is non-transferable unless approved in writing by Bluewater.
- Extended warranties, if offered, follow the distributor's terms and are independent of Bluewater Group's policies.
