Affiliate Disclosure

The Short Version

How Affiliate Links Work

Some product links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one and buy from the retailer, the retailer may send Poolslam a referral commission. That commission does not raise your price, and it does not add a separate charge at checkout.

Affiliate revenue helps keep the site running. It supports hosting, research, editing, updating older articles, and the work involved in making above ground pool advice clearer than a spec sheet or a generic buying guide.

How Recommendations Stay Independent

A pool product is not useful because it has a link attached to it. It is useful only if it fits the actual pool situation being discussed: pool size, pool type, water source, pump GPH relative to pool volume, filtration needs, or the specific maintenance problem being solved.

That is the standard used on Poolslam. A stock pump may be enough for a small pool. A pump upgrade may matter more than a bigger filter. A cover can help, but it will not fix a pump that was never sized for the pool in the first place. If a product has a limitation that matters in real use, the article should say so plainly.

Where Product Links May Appear

Product links are most likely to appear in buying guides, comparison articles, equipment discussions, troubleshooting articles, and pages where a specific part helps solve the problem being explained. That may include above ground pools, pumps, filters, cleaning equipment, covers, heaters, liners, chemical test kits, or related above ground pool equipment.

Informational articles may also include product links when they make the advice more useful. The link should support the explanation, not replace it. A reader should still understand what to look for even before choosing where to buy.

How to Spot an Affiliate Link

Any product link that points to Amazon may be an affiliate link. Some product links may also point to other retailers when that helps readers compare availability, specifications, or product details. This disclosure applies across Poolslam, including older articles and pages that may not repeat the disclosure beside every individual link.

Display Advertising

Poolslam may also show display ads through Google AdSense. These ads are separate from the editorial content on the site. They do not decide which above ground pool topics are covered, which products are mentioned, or how a guide explains a setup problem.

Google may use cookies and browsing activity to show ads based on your interests. You can review Google’s advertising policies or adjust your preferences through Google Ad Settings.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided so readers can clearly understand the site’s affiliate and advertising relationships. It is intended to follow the Federal Trade Commission’s guidance on endorsements and advertising disclosures, including 16 CFR Part 255.
