Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: August 17, 2026

Water Leak Hub is supported in part by affiliate commissions. This page explains how that relationship works, what it does not affect, and how we handle the two claim types readers should be most careful about in this niche: product specifications and insurance-discount eligibility.

1. Research-Based Positioning

Research-based comparison — we have not physically tested these products. Our analysis uses manufacturer specifications, manuals, warranty/support policies, safety certifications, independent test data where available, and current marketplace availability.

Every product page on Water Leak Hub is a specifications-based comparison, not a hands-on evaluation. We do not claim to have installed, used, or bench-tested any leak detector, shutoff valve, or freeze sensor covered on this site. Where a page describes how a device behaves — sensor trigger threshold, valve close time, battery life — that description is drawn from the manufacturer’s published specifications, manual, or a cited independent test, never from our own use of the product.

2. Amazon Associates Disclosure

Water Leak Hub 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.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

When you click a “Check price on Amazon” link or similar link on this site and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. This commission does not change the price you pay, and it does not influence which products we include or how we describe their specifications — inclusion and description are governed by the criteria described on our About page and our Comparison Methodology page.

3. How We Earn Revenue

Revenue sources for this site may include:

• Affiliate commissions from qualifying purchases made after clicking links on our pages
• Standard advertising or platform monetization features, where applicable
• Other clearly disclosed commercial relationships, if entered into in the future

These revenue streams fund the research time required to read manufacturer documentation, cross-check certification databases, and keep specification comparisons current. Without them, this site would not exist in its current form.

Research time in this niche is not trivial. Verifying a single automatic shutoff valve’s pipe-size compatibility, confirming its UL or ETL listing in a public certification database, and checking whether an insurer’s discount program still names it as a qualifying device can take longer than reading one spec sheet suggests. Affiliate revenue is what makes it possible to do that work across dozens of products rather than a handful.

4. Links to Manufacturer, Certification, and Insurer Sources

Many pages on this site link to manufacturer specification pages, public certification databases, and insurer program pages that are not affiliate links and generate no commission. We include these links because they are the primary source for a specification claim, not because of any commercial relationship. When a link on this site does carry an affiliate relationship, it is a product link pointing to a retailer, and the surrounding disclosure applies to that link specifically — not to every outbound link on the page.

5. Pricing

We do not publish exact prices. Amazon and other retailer prices change frequently, so we describe products using broad price ranges only. For the current price of any product, follow its link to the retailer, where the live price is shown.

6. Customer Ratings and Reviews

We do not display Amazon star ratings, numeric review counts, or reproduced customer-review text anywhere on this site. Any such information you wish to consult is available directly on the product’s own retailer listing.

7. What Affiliate Relationships Do Not Affect

Commercial relationships do not determine how a product is described or where it appears in a comparison. Specifically:

• We do not accept payment for favorable specification descriptions or placement
• We do not guarantee inclusion in a comparison in exchange for payment or free product
• Affiliate partners do not receive approval rights over page content before publication
• We apply the same sourcing and description standard whether a product carries an affiliate link or not

8. A Note on Insurance-Discount Claims

Some pages on this site discuss homeowners-insurance premium discounts or credits offered by carriers for installing a connected water-leak detector or automatic shutoff valve. These programs are set by individual insurers, and they change over time — qualifying device lists, discount amounts, and program availability can all shift without notice.

Every insurance-discount claim on this site cites the specific insurer’s current published program page as its source. We never present a blanket “you will get a discount” claim. Readers must verify current eligibility, qualifying devices, and discount amounts directly with their own carrier before purchasing a device on the expectation of a premium reduction. This caution applies regardless of whether the device in question carries an affiliate link.

9. FTC Compliance

In accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, this disclosure notifies you that Water Leak Hub has a financial relationship with Amazon and may be compensated when you purchase through links on this site. An abbreviated version of this disclosure appears near commercial links on the site.

10. No Guarantee or Endorsement

A comparison published on Water Leak Hub reflects our editorial reading of available documentation at the time of publication. It is not a manufacturer guarantee, a warranty commitment, an insurance-eligibility determination, or professional plumbing or insurance advice. Specifications, certifications, subscription terms, and insurer programs change — always verify current details with the manufacturer, retailer, or carrier before purchase.
