Home Glass Water Filter Pitcher vs Culligan 12-Cup Water Filter Pitcher with ZeroWater Technology: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Bacterial growth in filter cartridge if unmaintained, Filter cartridge housing leachables (composition undisclosed), Borosilicate glass breakage and sharp edges and Algae and biofilm growth in the pitcher reservoir on the LifeStraw and not on the ZeroWater.
• We flag Bacterial growth in reservoir if filter unmaintained or water stored too long, Filter cartridge degradation and particle escape if overfilled or misseated and Ion-exchange resin saturation without visible warning on the ZeroWater and not on the LifeStraw.
• The LifeStraw is Borosilicate glass pitcher, replaceable activated-carbon filter cartridge where the ZeroWater is Activated carbon and ion-exchange resin 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.
