Where these two actually differ
- We flag Bacterial or microbial growth in housing or membrane biofilm, Mercury exposure from UV lamp breakage and RO membrane degradation and microplastic shedding on the Aqua Guard and not on the Aquasure.
- We flag Bacterial and microbial growth in housing and filters, Activated carbon filter degradation and dust release, RO membrane integrity failure and microbial breakthrough and Tubing and connector leakage or degradation on the Aquasure and not on the Aqua Guard.
- The Aqua Guard is Stainless steel housing, copper components, RO membrane, UV filtration where the Aquasure is RO membrane, carbon filters, stainless steel housing, 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.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
