- Cuts, tears or damage caused by mishandling as a result of general misuse,
e.g. pulling across rough coping stones or paving stones.
- Damage due to excessive use of chemicals - Chemical levels
must be used in accordance with SPATA recommendations (if you need to
superchlorinate, remove the cover from your pool). Do not allow the cover
to come in contact with concentrated chemicals. If in doubt consult your
pool dealer.
- Heat damage – do not use on pools where temperature is
constantly over 85°f (29°c) or expose to ambient temperatures in excess of
110°f (43°c). When not in use bubble covers must be stored in the shade and
covered with a SOLAR PROTECTION SHEET (supplied free with the Riviera
400 solar cover).
- Frost damage – do not use or store in frosty conditions.
It is not to be used as a winter cover and should be removed at the end of
the summer and stored according to the instruction sheet.
- Transport and vat will be charged for the return of the old cover or any
replacement of a new cover. Cash rebates will not be given.

NOTE
Solar cover material is by nature a difficult material to weld and some
undulation of the cover along weld lines may occur giving rise to a wavy
appearance. It is not always possible to weld solar covers to give a completely
flat appearance.
During the manufacture of the bubble covers a few collapsed or missing bubbles
may occur but these should not exceed 1 in 25000 bubbles in the central portion
of each section of the cover.
Some solar bubble cover material may have partially deflated bubbles to allow
for the expansion/contraction of air within the bubble. It is sometimes
possible to get some condensation within the cover bubbles.
Whilst every effort is made to make the cover to the size specified, because
of the type of materials used size could vary by no more than 50mm as measured
at the midpoint of the side in question. This is deemed as within our
manufacture's tolerances.
Pukka Pools cannot be held responsible for covers fitted to pools that
are prone to gusts of wind blowing the cover off. Should this be the case
we can advise of possible solutions.
CLAIM PROCEDURE
Pukka Pools policy is to resolve any queries efficiently in order to ensure
your satisfaction. In the event that you contact us with a
complaint it is important that the following procedure be carried out:
1. Inspect the cover and report the query to Pukka Pools giving the
following details:
(a) Your name
(b) Your order reference number
(c) Date of delivery
(d) Details of the complaint
2. Pukka Pools will advise you on the eligibility of a free replacement
(if within 12 months of purchase) or credit against a replacement cover under
warranty terms.
3. If a free replacement or credit against a replacement cover appears to
be justified, Pukka Pools will then request that you either:-
(a) Returns the cover for inspection or
(b) May request that the cover's label and a minimum of 1 square
metre showing the defect are removed and sent back to the company
for inspection – at your own risk and cost.
4. If laboratory inspection reveals that the cover has been misused or
subject to excessive wear and tear, no replacement or credit will be allowed.
It is therefore very important that you are satisfied that there is a genuine
cause for complaint before you remove a piece of the cover or returns
it for inspection.
5. No action such as returning covers or pieces of the cover should be taken
without prior consultation with Pukka Pools. Any cover returned is at your
own risk.
DELIVERY

in transit if they have signed for as "received in good condition".
In the event of damaged goods being accepted (i.e signed for as "received in
good condition") no further claim can be made. Damaged goods should be refused

The carrier will automatically return the damaged goods to Pukka Pools.
CHECKING FOR SIZE AND SPECIFICATION
Please can we also draw your attention to the instruction leaflet which
is included with each cover. It is vital that the cover is checked for
correct sizing and specification before placing on the pool as no company
rectification can be made after it has been used and no claim for incorrect
specifications or sizing will be accepted.
