Affiliate Disclosure

We may earn a commission if you buy through links on this site—at no extra cost to you. Here is exactly how that works.

Last updated: July 21, 2026

Splash101 is reader-supported. We may earn a commission if you buy through links on this site, at no extra cost to you.

1. What “affiliate” means here

Splash101 participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and may use other affiliate programs. When we link to a product and you purchase (or complete a qualifying action) after clicking, the retailer may pay us a commission. You pay the same price you would otherwise (subject to the retailer’s pricing).

Our sole Amazon Associates tracking tag for this Site is: splash101-20

Example link shape: https://www.amazon.com/dp/ASIN?tag=splash101-20

  • Buying and decision guides under Essentials
  • Problem and chemistry articles that mention gear or chemicals
  • Programmatic product pages under Products (ASIN detail pages generated from guides—not hand-written “lab reviews”)
  • Occasionally tools or care pages that soft-recommend a test kit or similar

3. What we will not do for commissions

  • No fake “I tested 12 products in my lab” claims invented for rankings
  • No pay-for-placement Top 10 lists sold to brands as the main content model
  • No pretending educational hubs are storefronts. Essentials teaches how to choose a role; Products is where a specific ASIN lives
  • No hiding this disclosure. Footer links here; product-heavy pages may also note reader support

4. Editorial independence

Recommendations are framed as scenarios (“best for weekly checks,” “skip if you need CYA precision”), not as guaranteed outcomes. We may update picks when products change. Commission rate does not decide which chemical role we recommend for a given job—your pool type, water test, and label always come first.

5. Amazon-specific notes

  • As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
  • Prices, stock, shipping, and Prime eligibility are controlled by Amazon and can change.
  • Product images on ASIN pages, when present, come from Amazon’s program—not AI fakes.
  • Amazon’s own terms and privacy policy apply once you are on Amazon’s site.

6. Other retailers

If we add other affiliate networks later, the same principles apply: disclosure, no fake labs, and education first. We will update this page when programs change materially.

7. Free tools

Calculators and checklists on Tools are free and do not require an email signup. They may soft-link to product types after results; commissions never change the math of an estimate. Estimates only—retest and follow labels.
