Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: May 18, 2026
PoolRated helps readers compare pool products and make more informed purchase decisions. Some links on our website are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you click a link and make a qualifying purchase.
Amazon Associate Disclosure
As an Amazon Associate, PoolRated earns from qualifying purchases.
Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. Product prices and availability are accurate only at the time shown by the merchant and may change at any time.
What Affiliate Links Mean
When you click a product link, you may be taken to Amazon or another merchant website. If you purchase after clicking, the merchant or affiliate network may pay us a commission. This does not increase the price you pay.
Affiliate revenue helps us operate PoolRated, maintain product pages, research pool gear categories, improve site performance, and keep our content available to readers.
Editorial Standards
Affiliate compensation does not control our ratings, rankings, or recommendations. We evaluate pool products based on practical factors such as:
- Pool size, surface, shape, and debris compatibility.
- Cleaning performance, flow requirements, filtration quality, heating performance, or energy efficiency, depending on the category.
- Setup, maintenance, cartridge or basket access, controls, parts availability, and warranty support.
- Buyer feedback and recurring customer themes.
- Value compared with practical alternatives in the same use case.
- Known drawbacks, limitations, and reasons a shopper may want to skip a product.
We may choose not to recommend a product even if it offers an affiliate commission. We may also recommend products where no affiliate relationship exists.
Pricing and Availability
Prices, discounts, shipping terms, seller information, inventory, coupons, and product details can change quickly. PoolRated may display or describe product information for convenience, but the merchant website is the final source for current price, availability, shipping, return policies, warranties, and purchase terms.
Sponsored Content
If we publish sponsored content, paid placement, or a direct advertising relationship that is materially different from a standard affiliate link, we will identify it clearly. Sponsored relationships should not be confused with ordinary affiliate links.
Reader Trust
Our goal is to make pool product research easier, not to push readers toward unnecessary purchases. We encourage readers to compare options, read recent merchant reviews, check pool compatibility, review return policies, and choose the product that fits their pool and maintenance needs.
