Aquatica Black and Other Non-White Solid Surface (AquateX™) Bathtubs
(Manufactured after January 1, 2017)

While the basic AquateX™  material is identical for every color, it is important to note that darker and more heavily pigmented colors will show dust, scratches, haziness, marks left by hard water, salts, chemicals, and other ordinary wear and tear considerably more noticeable than lighter textured colors.

Darker colors tend to require considerably more cleaning and maintenance effort than lighter colors. Over time, through care and use, your black AquateX™  bathtub will acquire a patina, changing the appearance of the finish. Surface scratching, signs of wear and tear is considerably more visible and harder to repair on black AquateX® bathtubs.

Aquatica provides a limited 25-year structural guarantee for all non-white AquateX™ bathtubs for use in the continental USA, Canada, and European Union member countries to the original purchaser for personal or single family use. Guarantee coverage begins from the date of purchase regardless of the installation date. Aquatica warrants the non-white AquateX™ bathtubs not to peel, crack, and blister for a period of 25 years from the date of purchase.

The following important limitations will apply:

• 3-Year surface finish guarantee. User inflected scratches and other use, tear and wear marks are not covered by the guarantee.
• Black AquateX™ bathtubs are NOT recommended for use with bath salts due to the risk of forming a visible salt residue on the black background. If you still decide to use bath salts, flush the bathtub promptly with plenty of soapy water immediately following the use.
• The bathtubs must be water tested and installed per our installation instructions. Aquatica will not be responsible for the cost of removing or reinstalling the bathtubs, or costs associated with any adjacent materials.
• Aquatica does not warrant leaks associated with improper waste and overflow installation.
• Blemishes, air holes or casting marks on the underside of the bathtub are not considered defects and do not affect the performance or quality of the bathtub. Variations in the surface color and finish are indigenous to the appearance of the product and are not considered defects or flaws.
• Variations in the surface do not compromise the structural integrity of the product.
• Waste-overflow fittings supplied with all our bathtubs are subject to the Aquatica Two-Year parts only guarantee.

Painted Bath Exterior 3-Year Paint Finish Guarantee
(Manufactured after January 1, 2017)

Chemical Spillage

Accidental spills of strong chemicals (e.g. various industrial cleaners, grout hardener, paint stripper, brush cleaners, metal cleaners, oven cleaners, cleaners containing methylene chloride, acid drain cleaners, acetone based nail varnish removers etc.) should be flushed promptly with plenty of soapy water to avoid damaging the bath surface! For nail varnish spills, non-acetone based remover can be used and then flushed with water. Undetected or prolonged exposure to chemicals will likely damage the bathtub surface. In the case of exposure to chemicals as described above, the 25-year limited product warranty will be void and handled as a case of abuse.
