Active PFAS + Nano Cartridge Set
- Complete set for the Fusion: Active PFAS + Nano in one pack
- Full filter spectrum: pollutant filter + certified germ barrier
Active PFAS & Nano replacement cartridge set
Fresh filtration performance for your Fusion
The set contains both filter stages of your Fusion or PRO Camper system: the Active PFAS cartridge against pollutants, off-tastes and odours, and the Nano germ barrier (0.1 µm, certified to ASTM F838-15A).
Suitable for any use – camping or under-sink. The order is important: filtration runs from coarse to fine – Active PFAS first, then Nano.
What is filtered?
The cartridge set filters in two stages: stage 1 (Active PFAS) binds PFAS by means of absorber resin, plus more than 80 other pollutants; stage 2 (Nano, 0.1 µm) retains 99.999% of all germs and bacteria – certified to ASTM F838-15A.
Microorganisms (Nano)
The Nano cartridge focuses on filtering germs and bacteria in high concentrations, e.g. E. coli, Vibrio cholerae, Shigella, Salmonella.
Legionella (Nano)
The Nano cartridge reliably filters legionella out of tap water. Whether as a preventive measure or following a positive legionella test.
PFAS – long- and short-chain (Active PFAS)
The ion exchange absorber resin reliably binds long- and short-chain forever chemicals such as PFBS and PFBA.
Chlorine and other substances affecting taste (Active PFAS)
The sintered coconut block activated carbon (5 µm) adsorbs unpleasant odours (chlorine, CHCs, CFCs and much more) and off-flavours in drinking water.
Pharmaceutical residues and pesticides (Active PFAS)
Organic compounds such as pesticides, herbicides, insecticides and pharmaceutical residues, as well as hormones and hormone-like substances, are reduced.
Heavy metals such as lead and copper (Active PFAS)
The adsorptive effect of the activated carbon binds and reduces heavy metals in drinking water.
Microplastics and other fine particles
The pores of the hollow-fiber membrane are about 700 times finer than a hair (0.1 µm) – microscopically small plastic particles and other particles can't get through.
PFAS absorber resin core
The ion exchange resin used to reduce long- and short-chain PFAS binds the contaminants like a magnet. The negatively charged PFAS ions are held in place by the positively charged anion resins, preventing them from being carried any further.
The patented RadiantFlow® technology ensures an even flow through the filter medium and delivers a high, reliable filtration effect throughout the entire working area of the granulate.
Binds odours and pollutants
The strong surface forces (adhesion) of the activated carbon remove unwanted cloudiness and odours such as chlorine from the water, as well as organic compounds and pollutants. These include pharmaceutical residues, hormones, pesticides/plant protection products, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and many more.
Retains microplastics
The activated carbon stage has pores of only 5 µm – around 14 times finer than a human hair. Microplastics, sand, rust and other particles are reliably trapped in them.
Stops germs and bacteria
Inside the Nano cartridge is a hollow-fiber membrane made of thousands of ultra-thin tubes, similar to bundled drinking straws. Its pores measure just 0.1 µm – about 700 times finer than a human hair and therefore smaller than bacteria. This keeps out germs, bacteria and legionella as well as microplastics and other particles.
Development partner
Developed with instrAction® from Heidelberg
The absorber resin of the Active PFAS cartridge was created in close collaboration with instrAction® from Heidelberg, a specialist in innovative filter media. The P absorber resin was developed and tested for over ten years – Made in Germany.
- High selectivity for short- and long-chain PFAS
- Fast adsorption even at high flow rates
- Stable performance across the entire pH and temperature range
"The Active PFAS cartridge shows that our patented absorber resin can ensure highly effective PFAS retention to below the detection limit, even in compact systems such as the Alb Filter!"
Dr. Christian Meyer, Head of Production and Synthesis – instrAction®
Against PFAS: absorber resin + RadiantFlow®
PFAS (‘forever chemicals’) are extremely stable and can only be captured to a limited extent by conventional activated carbon. The core of the Active PFAS cartridge therefore consists of an ion-exchange absorber resin: it binds long- and short-chain PFAS compounds like a magnet – in addition to the sintered activated carbon stage against chlorine, off-tastes and more than 80 other pollutants.
The patented RadiantFlow® technology ensures an even flow through the filter medium – for reliable filtration throughout the entire service life of the cartridge.

Installation
No tools required – only the order matters:
1Open the housing
Shut off the water supply and open both housing stages. Pull out the old cartridges with a twisting motion.
2Inserting & flushing the Active PFAS
Insert the new Active PFAS cartridge and flush for approx. 20 seconds – the Nano must NOT be fitted yet, otherwise it may be damaged.
3Inserting the Nano
Insert the Nano cartridge into the second stage, close the housing – done.

Frequently asked questions
Why do the cartridges have different replacement intervals?
The Active PFAS works by adsorption and is exhausted after approx. 4 months; the Nano filters purely mechanically and lasts approx. 6 months. With the set, you replace both together every 4–6 months – or you reorder the Active PFAS separately.
In what order are the cartridges installed?
From coarse to fine: first Active PFAS (first stage), then Nano (second stage). Optionally, the Protect pads can be placed in front as a coarse filter.
Does the set fit my PRO Camper?
Yes – the PRO Camper uses the same filter stages as the Fusion (two Element housings in series).
Is there anything to bear in mind when changing the cartridges?
Yes: first flush the Active PFAS without the Nano fitted (approx. 20 seconds), and only then insert the Nano.
