We acknowledge a complete service request, assign an engineer and establish the next technical step. A remote assessment cannot guarantee a repair outcome before the cause is understood.
The number of visits, scope, engineer fees and travel responsibilities are agreed in the project contract. Overseas attendance depends on travel, visas and site access.
Transfer of shipping risk or acceptance does not remove responsibility for material, workmanship or design defects already present at delivery. Contractual and applicable legal notice requirements still apply.
| System | Included equipment / services |
|---|---|
| Hot spring and swimming pool water systems | Circulation pumps; sand, diatomaceous-earth and bag filters; disinfection and dosing; heat exchangers; temperature controls. |
| Geothermal and heat-pump equipment | Plate heat-exchange stations, water-source and ground-source heat pumps, geothermal wellheads, well pumps and extraction systems. |
| Water features and bathing pools | Pool jets, water distribution, cascades, spring features, underwater lights and pool accessories. |
| Wellness experiences | Pool temperature systems, hydrotherapy jets, mist and other non-medical wellness equipment. |
| Supporting services | Commissioning, operator training, annual inspections, water-quality diagnostics and energy-performance reviews. |
Paid technical assistance may be available for matters outside the agreed supply scope. Responsibility for the following normally rests with the buyer, its contractors or the relevant local authority:
Notify Yuanwang in writing before modifying equipment. A substantial modification can create new conformity-assessment responsibilities for the party making it; the applicable destination rules must be assessed for the specific change.
Timing starts when complete fault information reaches the service channel designated in the contract. First response means acknowledgement and assignment of a responsible engineer. The action target is a technical assessment or plan; transport, replacement delivery, visas and final repair completion are separate.
| Priority | Typical situation | First response | Action target |
|---|---|---|---|
| P1 · Emergency | Complete system shutdown, significant leakage or flooding, electrical risk, or an incident affecting personal safety. | Within 2 hours during working hours; within 8 hours outside working hours. | Interim action plan within 24 hours. |
| P2 · Important | A major function fails but partial operation is possible: a pump failure, temperature-control fault or water quality outside the agreed range. | Within 8 hours. | Solution plan within 3 business days. |
| P3 · General | Localised malfunction, parameter deviation or a cosmetic issue. | Within 2 business days. | Action plan within 7 business days. |
| P4 · Enquiry | Operating questions, spare-parts enquiries or document requests. | Within 3 business days. | Follow the applicable enquiry or quotation process. |
Requests sent only to a salesperson’s personal WeChat, WhatsApp or private telephone are not formally registered service requests and do not start the agreed response clock. After registration, video calls may be arranged through WeChat, WhatsApp or Teams as appropriate.
| Item | Arrangement |
|---|---|
| Mobilisation | Typically 15–30 calendar days from confirmation to arrival, allowing for visas, travel and equipment transport. |
| Visit duration | Normally planned for 5–10 business days per visit. |
| Costs | Return international flights, visas, accommodation, local travel and engineer day rates are itemised. For visits within warranty scope, the engineer day rate is waived; travel allocation follows the contract. For work outside warranty, the buyer bears the agreed costs. |
| Included visits | The contract specifies the number and scope of included visits; additional visits are quoted separately. |
| If attendance is unavailable | Continue with remote diagnostics and, where appropriate, a qualified local service provider. |
The following are standard recommended periods, confirmed by the signed contract. Cover applies to faults and underperformance caused by materials, workmanship or design under normal operating and maintenance conditions. Extended cover can be agreed separately.
| Part / system | Period | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Pool waterproofing and liner system | 5 years | Only the portion supplied and installed by Yuanwang; excludes civil structure and levelling layers. |
| Buried and distribution pipework | 3 years | Excludes external damage, frost heave and ground settlement. |
| Plate / shell-and-tube heat exchangers | 2 years | Scaling or corrosion caused by water outside the agreed design conditions is excluded. |
| Yuanwang own-brand pumps, filters, dosing and control cabinets | 2 years | Wear parts are excluded from this period. |
| Heat pumps and geothermal wellhead equipment | 2 years | Annual maintenance must follow the manual and agreed warranty conditions. |
| Wellness / hydrotherapy experience equipment | 1 year | For commercial, high-frequency use. |
| Purchased third-party valves, instruments, inverters and other equipment | Original manufacturer’s terms | Yuanwang assists with claims within the original manufacturer’s obligations. |
| Seals, O-rings, cartridges, nozzles, light covers and dosing diaphragms | 3 months | Consumable and wear-part cover; stock initial replacements with the first parts package. |
Normally the warranty begins on signed commissioning and acceptance at the destination site, after the fifth commissioning checkpoint. If acceptance is delayed by the customer for more than 30 days, the warranty start date moves to the date the equipment arrived on site. This arrangement must be reflected in the project contract.
Keep dated maintenance and water-quality records so that the cause and applicable cover can be established.
The project contract identifies one of the following installation arrangements. All arrangements retain the same five evidence checkpoints so the operating baseline and responsibilities are clear.
| Mode | Work arrangement | Typical application |
|---|---|---|
| A · Yuanwang-supervised installation | The buyer organises the installation team; Yuanwang provides on-site technical guidance, critical checkpoint confirmation and commissioning. | Recommended for projects with an available local installation team. |
| B · Yuanwang installation package | Yuanwang’s team completes installation and commissioning within the agreed scope. | Complex systems or projects without a suitable local team. |
| C · Customer installation with remote commissioning | Yuanwang supplies drawings, video guidance and remote commissioning; the buyer returns photographs and signed evidence at critical stages. | Simpler systems and experienced customer teams. |
| Stage | Evidence to retain |
|---|---|
| 1 · Unpacking and receipt | Photographs of all delivered items; damage check; quantity and nameplate details compared with the contract. |
| 2 · Flushing and pressure testing | Clear-water flushing confirmation; recorded pressure and hold time; test photographs. |
| 3 · Electrical inspection | Wiring, earthing and insulation-test records. |
| 4 · First water and initial run | Leak check, correct rotation and initial operating parameters, with video. |
| 5 · Commissioning and acceptance | Performance against design conditions, control-logic check, water-quality report and signed acceptance. |
The standard proposal includes one on-site training session lasting 2–3 business days for the customer’s operations and maintenance staff. It covers daily operation, backwashing, dosing, setpoints and common fault diagnosis. A signed training record identifies attendees and topics completed.
Electronic English operation and maintenance manuals are provided, with diagrams for key procedures. Follow-up video training or training in China may be arranged at an agreed cost.
Yuanwang supplies Chinese originals and an English version. Required destination-language translations, their accuracy and cost must be allocated in the contract. English alone may not satisfy destination requirements; this allocation does not displace statutory manufacturer or importer duties.
For machinery covered by Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 when it applies, digital instructions must be downloadable, printable and accessible for the required period. Paper instructions requested at purchase must be supplied free within one month; essential safety information for non-professional users must be supplied on paper. Apply the rules in force when the specific product is placed on the market.
Use this standard-duty schedule together with the equipment manual and project water-quality conditions. Local operating requirements or the equipment manual may call for more frequent work. Retain dated readings, inspection results and replacement records.
| Frequency | Tasks |
|---|---|
| Daily | Record flow, pressure, temperature, residual chlorine / ORP and pH. Check noise, leaks and alarms. |
| Weekly | Backwash filters; check dosing-liquid levels and dosing rate; inspect pump vibration and temperature behaviour. |
| Monthly | Full water-quality testing, including turbidity, hardness, alkalinity, iron, manganese, chloride and microbiological results; clean control cabinets; check fasteners. |
| Quarterly | Review heat-exchanger temperature differentials, pump efficiency and the prescribed safety-valve test by qualified personnel. |
| Every six months | Electrical insulation testing, inverter-parameter backups and sensor calibration. |
| Annually | Comprehensive overhaul; assess seals and wear parts; geothermal well water-level, temperature, yield and sand-content checks where applicable; issue the annual system health report. |
Yuanwang or an authorised service provider prepares a report covering annual operating trends, efficiency change against the first-year baseline, component-life estimates, replacement recommendations and next-year maintenance or upgrade priorities.
The report gives owners a documented condition review that may support operational, insurance or financing discussions. The scope and any third-party acceptance requirements should be agreed separately.
| Item | Target |
|---|---|
| Standard parts | Dispatch within 15 business days of receipt of the order, subject to the applicable order and payment terms. Includes seals, filter elements, nozzles, diaphragms and common electrical components. |
| Non-standard or custom parts | Dispatch within 45 business days; the specific quotation governs. |
| Discontinued models | Key spare parts remain available for 8 years after a model is discontinued, as agreed for the supplied equipment. |
| Spare-parts quotation | Price, lead time and transport method within 2 business days after receipt of a complete parts request. |
| Level | Stock | Holder / arrangement |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · Supplied with equipment | First-year package: mechanical seals, O-rings, cartridges, nozzles, dosing diaphragms, common fuses and relays. | Customer site. |
| 2 · Critical components | Pump bodies, motors, controllers and sensors. | A regional stock point is a future arrangement, not an existing service network. For current projects, agree customer-held critical stock. |
| 3 · China central stock | Full range; standard-parts dispatch target of 15 business days. | Yuanwang, subject to order confirmation and the agreed supply terms. |
First orders normally use full prepayment; terms for established customers can be agreed. Report packaging or visible damage within 48 hours. Under this policy, absence of such a report is treated as confirmation of external condition; it does not by itself determine a latent-defect claim.
Confirm the Incoterms® 2020 term, named place or port, importer of record, destination rules and documentation before ordering. Transport risk and responsibility for pre-existing product defects are separate matters.
| Term | Yuanwang normally covers | Buyer normally covers | Risk transfer |
|---|---|---|---|
| FOB · Named port of shipment | Delivery on board at the Chinese shipment port and export clearance. | Sea freight, insurance, destination import clearance, duties, VAT and locally allocated market-access obligations. | When goods are on board the vessel. |
| CIF · Named destination port | Export clearance, sea freight and the agreed cargo insurance to the destination port. | Destination import clearance, duties, VAT, onward transport and locally allocated market-access obligations. | When goods are on board at shipment, despite freight being paid to the destination port. |
| DDP · Named destination | Delivery to the named place, including import clearance and duties / taxes as agreed and legally feasible. | Unloading and handling at site unless expressly included. | At the named destination, ready for unloading. |
Record which legal entity is the importer of record. Possible arrangements are the buyer or its local company; an EU authorised representative for specified manufacturer duties together with the buyer as importer; or an agreed local partner under a separate three-party arrangement.
An authorised representative is not automatically the importer. Each role retains its legal duties. Relevant importer checks can include conformity assessment, marking and accompanying documents, destination-language instructions, traceability and cooperation with market-surveillance authorities. Required document-retention periods must be recorded.
The current policy assumes project-specific arrangements; it does not claim that Yuanwang already operates a European service organisation.
| Instrument | Possible relevance |
|---|---|
| Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC; Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 | Machinery and related equipment. The new regulation generally applies from 20 January 2027. Confirm the applicable regime by product and placing-on-market date. |
| Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU | Electrical equipment within the specified voltage scope, generally AC 50–1,000 V and DC 75–1,500 V; review exclusions and interaction with machinery legislation. |
| EMC Directive 2014/30/EU | Electromagnetic compatibility of relevant controls, inverters, instruments and assemblies. |
| RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, as amended | Restricted substances for electrical and electronic equipment within scope. |
| Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU | Pressure equipment above the relevant 0.5 bar threshold, subject to classification and exclusions. |
| General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 | Consumer products where applicable; consider the relationship with sector-specific safety legislation. |
CE marking is the manufacturer’s indication that the applicable requirements have been met. It is not a blanket third-party approval; some product categories require notified-body involvement. Confirm the correct assessment route, declaration, technical records, markings and manuals for each model.
Pump energy-efficiency obligations depend on product scope and the rules in force. Confirm current ecodesign applicability for the particular pump rather than treating a general swimming-pool-pump exemption as a performance claim.
Great Britain means England, Scotland and Wales. Official guidance provides for continued recognition of CE marking for relevant regulated product groups, including machinery, alongside UKCA. Check the specific product route and current GB requirements before placing equipment on the market, especially around changes to EU machinery rules.
Northern Ireland follows a distinct route under the Windsor Framework. CE is used where applicable; CE with UKNI is relevant where a UK body performs mandatory third-party assessment. UKNI is not a standalone mark and UKCA alone is not accepted for EU market access.
| Destination | Project review |
|---|---|
| Saudi Arabia | Confirm the applicable SABER / SASO conformity route, product classification and customs requirements. |
| United Arab Emirates | Confirm current MoIAT product-conformity or registration requirements for the specific equipment. |
| North America | Assess the required local electrical-safety listing / certification and applicable pool, spa and underwater-light standards with the destination authority. |
| Australia / New Zealand | Assess electrical safety, EMC, responsible-supplier registration and RCM obligations for equipment within scope. |
A warranty claim should include equipment serial number and proof of purchase; a description and timing of the fault; photographs or video; operating and water-quality records; and evidence of required maintenance. Incomplete claims may be held pending the missing information.
Responsibility is assessed in the following order:
This policy proposes notice within 30 days after discovering, or being expected to discover, a defect. This is a proposed contractual notification period, not a fixed deadline imposed by CISG Article 39. Where the CISG applies, Article 39 uses a reasonable-time requirement and generally a two-year outer limit from actual handover, subject to the contractual guarantee period and applicable exceptions.
Yuanwang’s response follows the priority table above. The target for a written responsibility assessment is 30 business days after complete claim materials are received.
| Value / impact | Process |
|---|---|
| Below EUR 500 equivalent | Minor remedial work may be arranged without advance approval, up to 2 occasions per year. Retain photographs and invoices; reimbursement follows the agreed claim conditions. |
| EUR 500–5,000 equivalent | Remote diagnosis and responsibility assessment before settlement; initial reply normally within 10 business days. |
| Above EUR 5,000 or involving safety | A dedicated review team and, where needed, on-site assessment. Coordinate the investigation and communicate substantiated findings. |
The recommended contract arrangement is a project aggregate liability cap equal to the contract value and exclusion of indirect loss, lost profit, business interruption and third-party claims, except for deliberate misconduct, gross negligence and personal injury. These are proposed B2B contract terms; they apply only as agreed and to the extent legally enforceable.
The proposed governing law is the law of the People’s Republic of China, excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan for this choice of law. The proposed forum is CIETAC arbitration in Beijing, with Chinese and/or English as agreed. Confirm governing law, seat, institution and language when signing; undisputed obligations continue during a dispute.
Relevant events can include war, civil disorder, terrorism, government restrictions, natural disasters, epidemic or quarantine restrictions, visa refusals or entry restrictions, shipping disruption, port strikes, export controls, sanctions, embargoes and destination-law changes preventing lawful supply.
The suggested contract arrangement provides for written notice and supporting evidence within 15 days; the parties then agree a revised plan. If the event continues for more than 6 months, either party may terminate the unperformed portion, with completed work settled on an actual basis. Any relief depends on the signed terms and applicable law.
