Where these two actually differ

  • 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 Brondell.
  • We flag Bacterial growth in filter housing, Carbon filter dust inhalation during cartridge handling, Mineral scaling and corrosion of plastic fittings and Inadequate post-filtration performance if membrane is damaged on the Brondell and not on the Aquamira.
  • The Aquamira is glass bottles, sodium dichloroisocyanurate treatment chemical where the Brondell is Plastic housing; standard RO/carbon filter media, 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.
