Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Bacterial growth and biofilm in filter or pitcher, Ion-exchange resin or activated carbon shedding into water and Filter cartridge materials of unknown origin on the Waterdrop and not on the Aquamira.
  • We flag Chemical overdose or misuse, Degradation and loss of efficacy over time, Glass bottle breakage and spillage and Chlorine residue and taste/odor on the Aquamira and not on the Waterdrop.
  • The Waterdrop is Polypropylene pitcher body, activated carbon/ion-exchange filter cartridge where the Aquamira is glass bottles, sodium dichloroisocyanurate treatment chemical, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are 5 points apart, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
