Reviewer Standards

Research can narrow choices. It cannot manufacture credentials or sign off work that belongs to a qualified professional.

Document-led pages we can publish

  • Product identity and feature comparisons with attributed claims.
  • How to locate a CCR or certified laboratory.
  • High-level differences between filters, softeners, UV, and RO.
  • Ownership, replacement, and quote-planning frameworks.

Pages or claims needing qualified review

  • Contaminant-specific health advice or treatment thresholds.
  • Interpretation of unusual or complex laboratory results.
  • UV dose, microbial safety, well disinfection, or emergency response.
  • Detailed plumbing, electrical, drain, code, or permit instructions.
  • Statements presented as professional engineering, plumbing, laboratory, or public-health judgment.

Contributor profiles

A profile must name the real person, relevant credential, scope of review, date, and material relationship. Until that exists, the site uses an organizational editorial byline and states the review limit.

Editorial transparency

This page is governed by our editorial policy, review methodology, and corrections process.
