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 Primo Water.
- We flag Bacterial biofilm growth in tank and tubing, Gasket or seal degradation over time, Contamination from bottled water supply chain and Mold or mildew in drip tray on the Primo Water and not on the Aquamira.
- The Aquamira is glass bottles, sodium dichloroisocyanurate treatment chemical where the Primo Water is Ceramic water tank, stainless steel 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.
