MaxClear Technology Gravity Countertop Water Filter System vs Pitcher: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Bacterial growth in filter media and housing, Activated carbon dust or fines in filtered water and Chlorine or chloramine taste/odor breakthrough on the Culligan 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 Culligan.
• The Culligan is Activated carbon, ion exchange resin, polypropylene 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.
