On the numbers that matter for running cost, the D6 wins: a 1.5:1 pure-to-drain ratio means it sends half as much water down the drain as the 3:1 flagship for every gallon produced, and its filters cost about $100 a year, the cheapest here. It is also the smallest and lightest under-sink unit at 22.2 lb. The gap is certification — Waterdrop publishes no NSF/ANSI mark for the D6 on its own comparison table, so contaminant claims rest on the manufacturer's SGS test reports rather than a certifier's listing. Six stages is mid-pack. Treat it as the efficiency pick rather than the verified-performance pick.
