3M Aqua-Pure AP802B Whole House Filter Housing vs 3/4" Inlet 5 gpm Whole House Water Filter System U25-S-S18: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Bacterial growth in spent cartridges, Polypropylene stress fractures under thermal or pressure stress and Cartridge bypass or seal degradation on the Aqua Pure and not on the Pentair.
• We flag Bacterial growth and biofilm in unmaintained filter housing, Carbon media dust or fines in water after installation, Sediment cartridge clogging leading to bypass or reduced flow and No documented removal of PFAS or emerging contaminants on the Pentair and not on the Aqua Pure.
• The Aqua Pure is polypropylene filter housing, carbon/sediment cartridge where the Pentair is Activated carbon and sediment filter media; polypropylene/polyester housing components, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
