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 Culligan.
- We flag Microbial growth (mold, bacteria) in filter media, Activated carbon filter media shedding and Degradation of plastic housing from heat or UV on the Culligan and not on the Aquamira.
- The Aquamira is glass bottles, sodium dichloroisocyanurate treatment chemical where the Culligan is Plastic bottle housing, carbon/activated 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.
