Why are our prices going up?

As a valued member of our community, we believe in transparency and honesty in all our dealings. Recently, you may have noticed a slight increase in the prices of our products at Water Rangers. This was not done lightly and we are committed to keeping these water monitoring tools as accessible as possible. We have not adjusted our prices for a long time, and have strived to keep prices low. As such we want to take this opportunity to explain the reasons behind this change and reaffirm our commitment to our mission.

1. Commitment to quality:

At Water Rangers, quality is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s sourcing ethical materials, ensuring fair wages for our team, or maintaining rigorous quality control standards, we refuse to compromise on the excellence of our offerings. As we continue to enhance and maintain these standards, there will inevitably be increased costs.

2. Impact of inflation:

The global economy constantly evolves, and inflationary pressures affect businesses of all sizes, including ours. Rising costs of raw materials, transportation, and operational expenses have necessitated a review of our pricing structure to ensure sustainability. By adjusting our prices, we can maintain our commitments to ethical practices and fair treatment of our partners while navigating these economic challenges.

3. Supporting our mission:

Every purchase made at Water Rangers directly contributes to our social mission of supporting community-based water monitoring. Your support enables us to make a meaningful impact on the world. By adjusting our prices responsibly, we can secure the future of our initiatives and expand our reach to even more individuals and communities.

4. Transparency and communication:

We value your trust and believe in open communication. That’s why we’re sharing these insights into our pricing adjustments. We are committed to keeping our community informed every step of the way and welcome any questions or feedback you may have.

5. Long-Term sustainability:

Our goal is not just to exist but to thrive and create lasting change. By ensuring our pricing aligns with our values and operational needs, we are positioning Water Rangers for sustainable growth. This growth allows us to innovate, create new opportunities for our partners, and ultimately magnify our impact.
