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

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Bacterial growth in filter and reservoir if maintenance neglected, Filter cartridge composition opacity, Incomplete contaminant removal and Filter housing cracking and bypass if damaged 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 Plastic housing, activated carbon/plastic composite filter media 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 5 points apart, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
