Pro Camper Set - combination of filling and built-in filter

Mobil (filling from outside) is suitable for well-maintained, clean systems. Travel (permanent installation inside) is ideal for large tanks and self-sufficient travel with a diaphragm pressure pump. The Pro Camper Set combines both – Active pre-filter outside and Nano germ barrier inside.

For water you can drink cold without any concerns, combine Active + Nano; for coffee, tea and cooking, the Active is sufficient.

Yes. Thanks to the modular design of the housings and connections, sets can be converted at any time – a filling set (Mobil) can also be installed inside, and vice versa.

No. The Nano germ barrier filters out bacteria such as E. coli, legionella or faecal germs purely mechanically. You can do without silver ions and other preservatives.

Yes. Before drinking the water cold and starting filtration, the tank should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected – for example with an active-oxygen-based cleaner. This increases safety and extends the service life of the filters.

Yes. The cartridges stay installed during the trip. After filling the tank, briefly open the lid, drain the stagnant water, close it again and store it in a dry place.

Yes. After a longer period of non-use, remove the cartridges, let them air-dry and store them in a cool, dry place. Replace after 4 (Active) or 6 months (Nano) of use – breaks during which the cartridges are stored dry don't count. Do not store in rice, in the fridge or in a sealed bag.

No – only the time in use counts. The 4 months (Active) or 6 months (Nano) are operating time, not an expiry date. If you take the cartridge out during a break between trips and let it dry completely, the clock stops for that period.

Example: 3 weeks of summer holiday, then stored dry – next season you carry on using the same cartridge until a total of approx. 4 months of use or around 3,000 litres is reached (Nano: 6 months or around 5,000 litres).

Thorough drying is important: The Active cartridge needs 2–3 days in an airy, shady place until all residual moisture is gone. Only dry the Nano cartridge in the open air. Then store the cartridges in a cool, dry place – not in the fridge, not in rice and not in airtight packaging. If the flow rate drops noticeably before then, the cartridge needs replacing sooner.

With good care, you protect the cartridges from germ contamination and make full use of the capacity of the Active and Nano cartridges.

First of all: A damp, closed system provides an ideal breeding ground for germs and bacteria. If a cartridge remains unused in the housing for a long time, germs can multiply there too. During longer breaks in use, therefore remove the cartridges from the housing and dry them thoroughly.

When to remove them? During a break in use of 5–7 days (depending on the ambient temperature), remove the cartridges from the housing to protect them from germ contamination and mould, and store them thoroughly dried.

Drying properly: The Active cartridge dries out completely within 2–3 days in a well-ventilated, shady place – it is important to remove all residual moisture from the activated carbon. Alternatively, dry it in the oven at 50 °C for 5–6 hours, then store it in a cool, dry place. The hollow-fibre membrane of the Nano cartridge is very delicate and must only be dried in the open air, likewise in a well-ventilated, shady place.

Important: Do not freeze the cartridges – water in the pores can burst the activated carbon or rupture the fine membrane of the Nano cartridge.

• Pull the Active cartridge out slowly with gentle twisting movements, otherwise the delicate activated carbon may break off.
• Do not store in the fridge because of the high humidity.
• Do not seal cartridges airtight – risk of mould.
• Do not store cartridges in rice.
• After 3–4 hours without use, flush the outlet line for a few seconds.

Correct: cool, dry and well ventilated. Wrong: sealed plastic bag, container with rice or storage in the fridge.

In general household waste – they are incinerated because pollutants have accumulated inside them.

Yes, every cartridge affects pressure and flow rate. For interior installation, a diaphragm pressure pump is recommended. Filling the tank takes a little longer – with full filtration (Protect + Active + Nano), around 15 minutes for 100 litres.

For permanent installation: Active min. 2 bar, Nano min. 1.5 bar, Fusion min. 2.5 bar. More pressure is no problem: there is no upper limit, and higher pressure merely increases the flow rate.

A clogged cartridge is normal wear and tear, not grounds for a complaint. Identify the affected stage by checking each one individually: turn the Protect round and flush it clear, usually replace the Active, and gently clean the Nano with compressed air (max. 2 bar) against the direction of flow or briefly in ethanol. A pre-filter (Protect) helps prevent this.

No, the installation direction has no influence on the filter performance.

The Nano cartridge is certified according to ASTM F838-15A and can also be used in public facilities in the event of acute legionella contamination.

Both aim to make water germ-free. The Nano hollow-fibre membrane retains bacteria purely mechanically – without electricity, regardless of flow rate and turbidity, and at a lower purchase price. It is a wearing part and must be replaced, whereas a UV system can scale up or become contaminated with germs.

Active and Active Plus+: maximum 23 °C. Nano: 5–65 °C.

It combines external filling (Active pre-filter) with an internally installed Nano germ barrier: pollutants are reduced before they reach the tank, the water enters the tank very clean and is protected against germs at the point of use.

A diaphragm pressure pump with min. 1.5 bar (higher is no problem) is recommended, and the interior filter must be integrated into the water line.

That depends on how the filters are installed and used. We recommend a pressure or diaphragm pump with at least 1.5 bar for permanent installation of the Nano cartridge. For the Active cartridge, a pressure of at least 2 bar is recommended. More pressure is no problem: there is no upper limit, and higher pressure merely increases the flow rate.

Yes! Our Mobil, Travel and Pro Camper camping water filters are compatible with GARDENA. The GEKA connectors and adapters as well as the supplied hoses are food-safe and approved for drinking water.
