Images

 
At Sparkling Water Filters, we do our best to keep all images up to date. Of the thousands of products offered on this site, there may be 2 or 3 images at any given time that are out of date because the manufacturer has released an improved version before we have received the updated image. If an image is out of date, we will ship the updated product, which may not be identical to the image online.

Liability

 
Sparkling Water Filters has made it easy for its customers to find filters through the Water Filtration Blog. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the consumer to choose the correct water treatment system or filters for their unique situation. Sparkling Water Filters may offer explanations of water treatment technology and may give common solutions to common water problems. However, Sparkling Water Filters does not recommend or suggest a particular water treatment system for a particular application because Sparkling Water Filters is not able to have all necessary information regarding a particular application. For example, Sparkling Water Filters does not know which contaminants are in the customer's water, nor does it have information on all variables surrounding their unique situation. Sparkling Water Filters is a passive reseller and does not share liability with the manufacturer for damages caused by faulty water treatment products or the installation of such products. Consumers agree to hold Sparkling Water Filters harmless for any damages caused by improper system manufacture, design, or installation. We reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions at any time without notice.
