Extended protection plans are designed to cover you beyond the limited manufacture warranty for conditions outside the original condition of the pump. This includes but not limited to pumps that have been subject to accident, mishandling, damage, misuse, neglect or alteration, unusual physical or electrical stress, normal wear and tear, or improper or unauthorized testing or repair; etc. Extended protection plans must be purchased within 10-days of your pump's original date of purchase to qualify for coverage.
