It is your responsibility to determine that the part ordered is correct. If you are unsure about a product you wish to purchase, please contact us BEFORE you order. Do not guess what part is required. Our friendly staff are happy to assist in identifying parts via emailed images, but cannot be held responsible for misidentifying your part where the images or information supplied stop us from identifying the product or when an alternate possible match to an obsolete part is suggested. We will provide emailed links to the part suggested for YOU to confirm identification before ordering. If you don´t want to take the risk of ordering an incorrect part, please employ a local competent spa technician to identify and carry out repairs.

When transferring personal information outside Australia within our network, we will comply with the requirements of the Act that relate to transborder data flows.
