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 Dupont.
  • We flag Bacterial growth in filter media if not maintained, Polypropylene leaching at elevated temperature, Filter cartridge housing material composition unclear and Seal and gasket degradation over time on the Dupont and not on the Aquamira.
  • The Aquamira is glass bottles, sodium dichloroisocyanurate treatment chemical where the Dupont is Plastic pitcher with activated carbon filter cartridge, 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.
