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 Contigo.
  • We flag Bacterial growth in filter cartridge and lid, Plastic body leaching at elevated temperature and Lid seal gasket material unknown on the Contigo and not on the Aquamira.
  • The Aquamira is glass bottles, sodium dichloroisocyanurate treatment chemical where the Contigo is BPA-free plastic body, activated carbon replacement filter, 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.
