LT1000PC Refrigerator Water Filter ADQ747935 vs Waterdrop Refrigerator Water Filter for Whirlpool 3-Pack: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Bacterial colonization if filter not replaced on schedule, Incomplete contaminant removal if filter is counterfeit or damaged and Carbon dust ingestion if filter is not primed on the Waterdrop and not on the Whirlpool.
• We flag Bacterial growth in filter media (biofilm accumulation), Carbon dust or particle release into water and Filter housing seal or valve failure on the Whirlpool and not on the Waterdrop.
• The Waterdrop is Carbon and ion-exchange resin filter media where the Whirlpool is Activated carbon and polypropylene (typical refrigerator filter media), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
