Plus 30-Cup Water Filter Pitcher Dispenser DS1811Z vs Culligan 12-Cup Water Filter Pitcher with ZeroWater Technology: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Bacterial growth if filter or water not maintained, Filter cartridge housing material safety and Degradation of plastic seals or valve over time on the PUR 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 PUR.
• The PUR is plastic pitcher (BPA-free specified), 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 5 points apart, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
