How products are ordered

A product counts as a match for a concern only when a current certification record covers it; every concern stays listed with its own state. The order is matches first, then the number of concerns matched, then name. Price never affects the order.

No long-life system in our catalogue has verified certification for these concerns yet.

Listing here says nothing about what a product covers; each card shows the reason its evidence is not established.

Retail offers are looked up after the evidence is evaluated; they never change which products appear, whether they match, or their order. As an Amazon Associate, PurityMap earns from qualifying purchases. Affiliate disclosure.

How this comparison works

Analysis first. Commerce second.

The concerns are this comparison’s topic, not your water. Each exact product is checked against its evidence register: a concern counts only when a current certification record covers it. Retailer offers are attached afterwards and do not change which products appear, whether they match, or their order.
