Affiliate Disclosure

How WaterGradePro makes money, and why it doesn't change what we recommend.

Last updated

WaterGradePro is free to read. When you buy a product through some of our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Those commissions, and ads if we add them, pay for the Site.

Amazon Associates Program

WaterGradePro is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Other affiliate programs

We may also join affiliate programs run by water treatment manufacturers and other retailers, directly or through affiliate networks. They work the same way: if you click a link and buy, the seller may pay us a commission. The price you pay doesn’t change.

How we mark affiliate links

Articles that contain affiliate links say so near the top, before the first link. Product boxes and buttons that take you to a retailer, such as Amazon, are affiliate links.

How this affects our recommendations

It doesn’t. We choose and rank products by independent certification, such as NSF/ANSI standards, and by the specifications the manufacturer publishes, not by commission rates. We don’t publish made-up test results, fake reviews or invented testimonials, which the FTC’s rule on consumer reviews and testimonials prohibits. No company can pay to be included, to rank higher or to review an article before it is published. If the best option for a reader isn’t part of any affiliate program, we still recommend it.

We don’t publish sponsored articles. If that ever changes, or if a company sends us a product for free, the article will say so clearly at the top. This disclosure follows the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.
