Important – please note before buying
The Alb Filter® PROTECT module is available in two versions: stainless steel and aluminium. The versions have different connection threads and are not compatible.
Before buying, please check whether you have a stainless steel or an aluminium housing, and then choose the matching version.
Version 1: Stainless steel
If you have a stainless steel housing, please choose the STAINLESS STEEL version. You can recognise the stainless steel housing by the black Alb Filter logo and the two external threads on the filter body.
Version 2: Aluminium
If you have an aluminium housing (silver, titanium and blue), please choose this version. You can recognise an aluminium housing by the white Alb Filter logo and the internal threads on the filter body.

Description
The Protect pre-filter module is compatible with our Element housing and can also be added later if required. Please make sure you choose the right version for your system.
The Protect is installed at the inlet of the Alb Filter. The pre-filter pad protects the downstream filter cartridges from coarse residues such as rust, sand, dirt and other particles.
With a fineness of 40 µm and a high flow rate, the Protect extension offers very good protection and extends the service life of downstream filter cartridges.
Note: Depending on the water quality, the pad should be replaced every two to three months. You can find inexpensive replacement pads in our online shop.
How the Protect fits into the system
The Protect is installed at the inlet of the Alb Filter. The pre-filter pad catches coarse residues before they reach the actual filter cartridge.
Flow rate
Despite its 40 µm fineness, the flow rate remains high — the Protect causes hardly any loss of pressure.
For the shower
For abraded particles from the pipes that visibly settle in the bathroom after showering or bathing – often in the form of reddish and yellow deposits. The ideal addition to our shower filters.
Under the sink
Upgrade your under-sink filter with the Alb Filter Protect. Recommended for older houses and flats with old pipes or an increased occurrence of sediment, rust and coarse dirt that can settle in the filter cartridge.
On the go
Drawing water on the go from sources with lots of coarse particles and contaminants such as sand or rust – to extend the service life of the downstream Alb Filter cartridges. Suitable for Mobil and Travel sets.
