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 Drinkpod.
- We flag Bacterial growth in filter cartridge and pitcher, Filter cartridge material safety, Valve and seal degradation and Contaminant removal effectiveness (not a toxicant, but functional safety) on the Drinkpod and not on the Aquamira.
- The Aquamira is glass bottles, sodium dichloroisocyanurate treatment chemical where the Drinkpod is Plastic pitcher body with activated carbon/ion-exchange filter cartridges, 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.
