Content Usage Guidelines

All content published on Water System Wiki is protected by copyright. We champion accurate, practical guidance for homeowners and pros working with water softeners, heaters, plumbing, and whole-home water systems. Our editors include licensed plumbers, water treatment specialists, and product testers who rely on standards, field experience, and hands-on evaluations. We believe knowledge should flow freely—safely and responsibly—so we offer limited syndication rights under clear conditions. Respect the craft. Respect the source. Keep readers safe.

Web Republication (Excerpts)

You are welcome to quote our articles or republish excerpts on your own website, provided you adhere to the following. We love being cited by homeowner blogs, trade schools, utilities, and industry publications—just do it right.

  1. Limit: You may republish up to 200 words or the first two paragraphs. No full-page copies. Do not reuse our images, diagrams, tables, downloadable checklists, or branded graphics without prior written permission.
  2. Credit: You must clearly credit Water System Wiki as the original source. When available, include the author’s name and original publication date to preserve context and accountability.
  3. Link: You must provide a dofollow hyperlink back to the original article on our site (https://watersystemwiki.com). Make the link visible to readers; use the article title as anchor text when possible.
  4. Canonical: If possible, set the canonical tag to the URL of our original post to avoid duplicate-content issues. We reserve the right to request edits or removal if republication harms readers, misrepresents our guidance, or degrades search integrity.

Full Article Licensing

If you wish to republish a full article for print, educational use, internal training, or corporate newsletters, you must obtain a license. We offer one-time reprint rights and ongoing syndication partnerships. Licensing includes clear attribution requirements and, when digital, a link to the original article. Note: third-party photos, trademarks, code snippets, and certain schematics may be excluded or require separate permission. Safety-critical procedures must be republished in full context to maintain accuracy and homeowner safety.
