Where these two actually differ
- We flag Bacterial or mold growth in filter housing, Plastic housing degradation or leaching over time and Inadequate contaminant removal if filter is not replaced on schedule on the Aquagear 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 Aquagear.
- The Aquagear is activated carbon filter cartridge, BPA-free pitcher body 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.
