3M Aqua-Pure Whole House Water Filtration System AP11T 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 and biofilm in filter cartridge, Carbon dust ingestion (loose media post-installation), Ineffective contaminant reduction if cartridge oversaturated and Uncertainty regarding PFAS removal capability 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 Activated carbon filter media; plastic housing and cartridge frame 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.
