Affiliate Disclosure

The short version

Some outbound links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a commission from the retailer at no extra cost to you. Commissions never change the calculator result, the formula behind it, or the price you pay.

What an affiliate link is

An affiliate link is a normal link to a retailer that includes a tracking code. If you buy after clicking it, the retailer pays us a percentage of the sale. You pay the same price you would pay by visiting the retailer directly.

Programs we may use

We may participate in pool and household retail programs, including:

• In The Swim, through the Impact affiliate network
• Doheny's Pool Supplies, through the Ascend affiliate network
• Amazon Associates
• Leslie's Pool Supplies

Not every program is active at all times. When a link is affiliate, we disclose it near the link.

How we choose products

We link to product categories that fit the job described on the page, such as test kits, chlorine types, salt, pH adjusters, brushes, and covers. We do not accept payment for a positive review, a ranking, or a place in a calculator result. If we ever publish a comparison, it will state the criteria used and whether we tested the products ourselves.

What a commission does not change

• Calculator formulas, inputs, units, or outputs.
• The order of calculator results or recommendations.
• The price, availability, shipping, returns, or warranty offered by a retailer.
• Our advice to follow product labels and re-test water before adjusting again.

Cookies and tracking

When you click an affiliate link, the retailer or its affiliate network may set cookies or similar identifiers to attribute the visit and any purchase. We may also record an aggregate click event in Google Analytics. We do not receive your payment details. See our Privacy Policy for more about analytics, cookies, and your choices.

Third-party purchases

Prices, stock, shipping, returns, and warranties are controlled by the retailer. Check the retailer's terms before buying. Our Terms & Conditions apply to your use of this site.
