Water filter or bottled water
Calculate what bottled drinking water costs your household per year and what an Alb Filter with cartridges costs. In francs and in the kilos you no longer have to carry.
Bottle prices per liter. There is no deposit on PET bottles in Switzerland. The presets are reference values taken from the online prices of Migros and Coop in November 2026: store brands from CHF 0.17, Swiss name-brand water in six-packs of 1.5 liters around CHF 0.70 to 0.85, premium water in glass bottles around CHF 2.60 per liter. Filter prices are for the cheapest version in the shop, cartridge prices are the current single prices. Per the manufacturer's specifications, we assume a cartridge change every 4 months (Active, Active Plus+, Active PFAS) or every 6 months (Nano), or sooner once 3,000 or 5,000 liters, respectively, have been reached. With the Fusion, both cartridges count. Kilos: 1 liter weighs 1 kilo; for glass, the weight of the empty bottles is added.
