We, DAN SELLARS and AUDREY LAM, being the named insureds under the policy referenced below, declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the following is true and correct:
- We are the named insureds on Liberty Mutual Personal Insurance Company homeowners policy H3V-281-240408-75, claim number 046414618-01 / 046414618-02, on the insured property at 6279 GREENHILL RD, NEW HOPE, PA 18938-9646.
- The covered loss occurred on 2021-07-29 and is described in Liberty's records as: Storm/tree damage — tree fall with associated structural and electrical damage.
- On 2026-05-22 we purchased a Aiper Scuba S1 Robotic Pool Cleaner (2026 Upgrade, Renewed) for the sum of $549.99 USD from Amazon, as the like-kind functional replacement for item #14 on the claim inventory (originally claimed at $462.00).
- Original = Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 (pressure-side pool cleaner with mesh bag, requires booster pump), purchased June 2019 from Amazon for $462.33 (Order 112-3762439-2328239). Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 is now discontinued and replacement parts are scarce. Replacement: Aiper Scuba S1 Robotic Pool Cleaner (Renewed, $549.99 unit / $551.19 grand total after $30 coupon + tax). Liberty's bar is like-kind functional equivalent — both automatically clean the pool's floor and walls of debris that has sunk. Technology gap (pressure-side → cordless robotic) is acknowledged but does not break like-kind: same function, same surface treated, same outcome. Replacement is a manufacturer-refurbished unit sold by Aiper Direct Renewed (Amazon authorised) — explicitly chosen below new-condition pricing to stay close to Liberty's approved amount. Household absorbs the upgrade premium ($89.19 above $462 approved amount) out-of-pocket.
- A paid receipt evidencing this purchase is attached to this affidavit as Exhibit A (2026-05-22-aiper-scuba-s1-pool-cleaner-replacement-114-9817850-2986664-551usd.png).
- We make this declaration knowing that it will be relied upon by Liberty Mutual Personal Insurance Company in evaluating our claim and releasing the recoverable depreciation withhold associated with this line item.
