Hub Compact Countertop Water Filtration Device vs Pitcher: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Bacterial growth in filter cartridge and housing, Ion-exchange resin shedding or degradation, Activated carbon dust or fines entering water and Improper filter replacement and contamination on the Brita and not on the LARQ.
• We flag Bacterial growth in filter housing if unmaintained, Filter composition leachables (unspecified binders and media), Thermal shock cracking of borosilicate glass and Contaminant removal efficacy not independently verified on the LARQ and not on the Brita.
• The Brita is Activated carbon & ion-exchange resin filters; plastic housing where the LARQ is borosilicate glass pitcher, replaceable activated carbon filter, 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.
