Where these two actually differ
- We flag Bacterial growth and biofilm in filter cartridge, Housing material brittleness or cracking and Activated carbon dust or particles in first use 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 Plastic pitcher (likely polypropylene or BPA-free plastic); activated carbon filter 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.
