Frequently asked questions about water filters for the home
Faucet filter or under-sink filter, which one is right for me?
The Duo faucet filter screws directly onto the faucet. You don't have to drill anything, it's installed in just a few minutes and is well suited to rented apartments. An under-sink filter sits out of sight under the sink at the angle valve and can be combined with several filter stages, for example in the Fusion with Active and Nano. Our product advisor helps you decide.
Which household water filters are the most popular?
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 water 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.
Can I install the water filter myself?
Yes, both versions are designed for self-installation. With the Duo, you unscrew the aerator and fit the filter with the matching adapter; the thread guide shows you which one you need. The under-sink filter is connected to the angle valve. Our installation guide with videos explains it step by step.
How much maintenance is required?
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.
