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 Epic Water Filters.
  • We flag Bacterial growth in unmaintained filter media, Filter media integrity and microplastic shedding and Mold or mildew growth in wet pitcher surfaces on the Epic Water Filters and not on the Aquamira.
  • The Aquamira is glass bottles, sodium dichloroisocyanurate treatment chemical where the Epic Water Filters is Activated carbon filter media, plastic pitcher housing, 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.
