The short version
Backyard Pool Tips 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. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. This means that if you click a product link on this site and go on to buy something on Amazon, we may receive a small commission — at no extra cost to you.
Where you'll see these links
Any page that recommends specific products — buying guides, comparison posts, maintenance guides that mention gear — may contain affiliate links. Where a page contains these links, we'll say so with a short note near the top or bottom of the article, in addition to this page.
What this doesn't change
- Products are chosen and ranked on suitability, running cost, and practical use — not on commission rate.
- We say when a cheaper or simpler option is genuinely the better choice, even if it means recommending something we don't earn from.
- The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go to Amazon directly — commissions come out of Amazon's margin, not yours.
Other affiliate relationships
We may participate in similar affiliate programs with other retailers as the site grows. Any such relationships will be covered by this same disclosure, and by the same principle: the recommendation comes first, the link comes second.
