Vortex Panel Return Instructions
 |
Step 1 |
First you will need to download, print and fill out our Vortex warranty request form, “WRF”, and send it back to Solar Direct via email, fax or mail with photos of the defective panel(s) clearly displaying the leak(s) in the panel(s). Initial warranty claims must also submit a photograph(s) of the entire panel installation showing plumbing and fastening components to demonstrate that the system is installed according to the installation manual specifications. At our discretion Solar Direct may request a copy of your installation contract, original invoice and or a copy of your contractors invoice to assist in verifying your warranty claim.
Note: You are required to complete all the requested information on the WRF, failure to do so can increase the warranty processing time and may result in denial of claim.

When we receive your completed WRF our warranty processing department (WPD) will then begin the process of reviewing, approving, scheduling and finally shipping the replacement panel(s). This process typically takes 7-14 business days (Note: 20-30 Business days during our spring and fall solar pool heating busy seasons). Once the replacement panel(s) leaves our warehouse our accounting department is then instructed to charge your credit card the total cost of shipping the warranty replacement panel(s) plus an additional $10 warranty handling fee for each defective panel claiming warranty. An invoice will be sent to you outlining these charges after the replacement panel(s) has left our warehouse.

Attention: Filing a fraudulent claim under the terms and conditions of the Vortex warranty coverage will automatically void any existing Vortex warranties.In addition, the full cost of the replacement panel(s) shipped will be charged to the credit card number provided to Solar Direct on the WRF.
