Troubleshooting assistance

Technical support
-
Replacement parts or components

The 6-Month Satisfaction & Performance Guarantee is not an unconditional six-month money-back guarantee.
Installed Systems
Once a water treatment system has been installed, it is generally not eligible for return under the standard 90-day return policy.
An installed system may qualify for warranty or performance assistance if CastleGuard Water Systems determines that the product is defective or otherwise covered by the applicable guarantee or warranty.
Installation, removal, reinstallation, labor, plumbing, water damage, property damage, and related expenses are not included unless expressly agreed to in writing by CastleGuard Water Systems.
12. Well Water System Orders
CastleGuard Water Systems reviews well water system orders to help promote compatibility between the selected equipment and the customer’s reported water conditions.
CastleGuard strongly recommends that customers provide a current water test from a certified laboratory before purchasing a well water treatment system.
If a customer purchases or requests fulfillment of a well water system without providing a valid water test, the customer assumes responsibility for the suitability of the selected system for their water conditions.
A return or refund request based solely on system performance may be denied when:
-
CastleGuard requested or recommended a water test before fulfillment;
-
the customer declined to provide the requested test;
-
the system performs according to its specifications; and
-
the performance issue results from water conditions or contaminants that were not disclosed or tested before purchase.
This section does not limit rights that may otherwise apply to a product CastleGuard confirms is defective.
13. Return Authorization
Customers should contact CastleGuard Water Systems Customer Service before returning any product.
CastleGuard may provide a Return Authorization Code (RAC) or other return instructions.
Packages returned without authorization may be delayed, refused, or returned to the sender.
Customers should retain:
-
Their order number
-
Proof of purchase
-
Return tracking information
-
Shipping receipts
-
Any Return Authorization Code provided by CastleGuard
CastleGuard Water Systems is not responsible for unauthorized returns that are lost or damaged in transit.
14. Refund Processing Time
Once an eligible returned product has been received, inspected, and approved, CastleGuard Water Systems will generally initiate the refund within 7–10 business days.
Approved refunds for payments processed through Authorize.net will generally be returned to the original payment method.
The time required for the refund to appear on the customer’s account after CastleGuard submits it depends on the customer’s bank, credit card issuer, and payment network.

-
