3M Aqua-Pure Whole House Water Filtration System AP11T vs Filtrete 3WH-HD-S01 Whole House System Large Capacity: 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 Whole Home Water Filters by 3M.
• We flag Plastic housing leachables, Bacterial and biofilm growth in filter media, Activated carbon dust release and Filter media saturation and contaminant breakthrough on the Whole Home Water Filters by 3M and not on the Aqua Pure.
• The Aqua Pure is Activated carbon filter media; plastic housing and cartridge frame where the Whole Home Water Filters by 3M is Activated carbon and sediment filter media, plastic housing, 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.
