### ⚠️ Installation & Strict Factory Warranty Guidelines
* **Professional Mandate:** Backed by a 1-Year Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty covering factory replacement parts only at the manufacturer's discretion.
* **Warranty Integrity:** To preserve active warranty protections, this high-voltage variable speed pump must be anchored, wired, and plumbed exclusively by a **certified, licensed pool technician or professional electrician**. Proof of professional, licensed installation is strictly mandatory to validate any future factory parts claims.
* **Application Boundary:** The unit must be strictly paired with a functional swimming pool or spa circulation loop; improper horizontal dry-running or unvented configurations instantly voids all coverages.
