### ⚠️ Critical Compatibility & Strict Factory Warranty Guidelines
* **Soft-Sided Pool Prohibitions:** This heavy-duty mechanical heating system **IS NOT compatible with soft-sided, temporary, or pop-up above-ground pools** (such as Intex, Coleman, or Bestway) due to inadequate plumbing flow rates. Installing this unit on a soft-sided pool structure **instantly voids the product warranty**.
* **Water Chemistry Boundaries:** Exchanger failures or chemical scaling caused by unbalanced pH, high sanitizer spikes, or corrosive chemical management are explicitly excluded from factory warranty protection.
* **Warranty Terms:** Backed by a 1-Year Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty covering factory replacement parts only. **IMPORTANT:** To maintain active warranty validity, this propane system must be installed, wired, and gas-plumbed by a **certified, licensed pool technician or professional gas fitter**. Proof of licensed installation is required for all factory claims.
