Corrections
The policy, and the log. Empty is a starting state, not a boast.
Last updated September 1, 2026
Why this page exists
Certification status genuinely changes in this category. Manufacturers revise performance data sheets, listings lapse, products get discontinued, and regulatory limits move. Brita revised a performance data sheet in January 2026, and the revision changed the correct answer to a question thousands of people search every month.
A site that makes dated, correctable claims in a field where the facts move is more trustworthy than one making undated, permanent-sounding ones — but only if there is somewhere the changes actually get recorded. That is this page. Of the ten publications surveyed while planning this site, one published a corrections page. It is the cheapest honesty available in the category and almost nobody spends it.
The policy
- What we correct. Any factual error: a wrong certification status, a misstated standard number, a wrong capacity or price-per-gallon figure, a misattributed source, a broken causal claim. Also anything phrased more confidently than the underlying evidence supports — overstatement is an error here, not a style choice.
- How fast. Errors that could lead to a wrong purchase are fixed as soon as they are confirmed. Everything else is fixed on the next content pass.
- How it is recorded. Substantive corrections are logged below with the date, the page, what the page previously said, and what it says now. The page's own last-updated date changes at the same time.
- What is not logged. Typographical fixes, broken-link repairs, and routine price-data refreshes. Logging those would bury the corrections that matter.
- Nothing is deleted. Entries are appended. A correction log that gets tidied up is not a correction log.
The log
No corrections have been issued yet. This site published on 1 September 2026, so an empty log at this point means very little — it is a starting state, not a track record, and it should not be read as evidence that nothing here is wrong.
Every commercial page on this site carries a "last verified" date for its certification and specification claims. If you check one of those claims against the certifier's listing and find it has moved, that is exactly the report this page exists to receive.
How to report something
Email info@clearcarafe.com. The most useful reports include the page URL, the sentence that is wrong, and — where you have one — the source that shows it. A link to a certifier's listing or a manufacturer data sheet turns a report into a same-day fix.
You do not need to be polite about it, and you do not need to be certain. A reader telling us a claim looks stale costs us ten minutes to check. A reader buying the wrong system because we did not check costs considerably more. The standards those claims are held to are set out in the editorial policy and the methodology.
