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 Philips.
- We flag Plastic leachates (BPA/BPS analogues), Bacterial or microbial growth in cartridge or housing, Activated carbon cartridge degradation or dust release and Off-gassing or odors from new pitcher on the Philips and not on the Aquamira.
- The Aquamira is glass bottles, sodium dichloroisocyanurate treatment chemical where the Philips 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.
