Water filters for drinking water, camping and the shower – Made in Germany
Alb Filter water filters effectively reduce pollutants such as chlorine, microplastics, pharmaceutical residues and PFAS, improve the taste and smell of tap water and reliably retain germs and bacteria.
Drinking water filters
Better taste and fewer pollutants in your daily drinking water.
Tap water in Switzerland is strictly controlled. Nevertheless, contamination can occur on its way to the tap. With a drinking water filter for the kitchen, you reduce unpleasant tastes and odours as well as pharmaceutical, pesticide and microplastic residues, germs and bacteria.
Camping filters
Enjoy clean drinking water on the go in your motorhome, camper van or boat.
In a mobile setting, the supply of fresh water is one of the essential tasks. When filling up at water points on campsites, in harbours or out in nature, it is often impossible to assess the water quality. With the Alb Filter® MOBIL and TRAVEL sets, you can easily filter your water on the go.
Shower filters
Water – the basis of all personal care.
Besides reducing pollutants as well as odour, taste and cloudiness, many customers tell us that the integrated mineralisation stage leaves their skin feeling pleasant and soft after showering. Our Nano filter cartridge also protects against dangerous legionella if a shower ban is in place.

Why filter water?
Despite strict drinking water regulations, various substances can get into tap water on its way from the waterworks to the tap – for example through old pipes or storage systems.
A drinking water filter directly at the point of use reduces such residues and ensures hygienically flawless, fresh-tasting water.

Which drinking water filters are most popular for home use?
Particularly popular are the Duo Active Plus+ faucet filter with over 850 reviews and the Fusion under-sink filter. The Duo Active Plus+ reduces pollutants such as chlorine, heavy metals and microplastics, and also limescale. Under the sink, the Fusion combines an Active and a Nano cartridge, and with the Nano germ barrier it additionally retains bacteria. Another frequent choice is the Under-sink Active Plus+ with over 560 reviews. On average, our customers rate Alb Filter 4.8 out of 5 stars. Our product advisor shows you in one minute which filter suits your water and your kitchen.
Which Alb Filter reduces limescale?
The Active Plus+ cartridge reduces limescale using an ion exchanger. Depending on water hardness, the hardness ideally drops by 4–6 °dH, which you'll notice above all in the taste of coffee and tea and in fewer limescale rings in the kettle. Limescale itself is not a pollutant, which is why the other cartridges focus on pollutants. The Active Plus+ is available for the Duo faucet filter and the under-sink filter.
How much maintenance does an Alb Filter require?
Maintenance is limited to changing the cartridge. You unscrew the housing, insert the new cartridge and you're done in about two minutes, without any tools. Depending on the cartridge and water consumption, a change is due every 4 to 6 months.
