Active Plus+ drinking water cartridge

With a plus in safety and less limescale

The Active Plus+ filter cartridge made from the BIOTON filter medium reliably removes pollutants, off-flavours and visible impurities from the water. It also filters out a wide range of bacteria and reduces the limescale content by 4–6 °dH using an ion exchanger.

The Active Plus+ offers very similar properties to the Active activated carbon cartridge, but is especially suitable for users who want to benefit from the additional reduction of limescale and bacteria.

Note: The Active Plus+ cartridge is sensitive to drying out and is therefore supplied vacuum-packed. For occasional use, for example when camping, the Active cartridge is the right choice.

What is filtered?

What is filtered?

Active Plus+ cartridge with Bioton filter material: the activated carbon stage binds odors, chlorine and dissolved pollutants, the ion exchanger reduces limescale by approx. 4–6 °dH – and the fine pores also mechanically retain particles and bacteria.

Chlorine and other off-flavours

Chlorine and other off-flavours

The Bioton cartridge adsorbs unpleasant odours (chlorine, chlorinated hydrocarbons, CFCs and much more) and off-flavours in drinking water.

Limescale – noticeably softer water

Limescale – noticeably softer water

The ion exchanger reduces carbonate hardness by approx. 4–6 °dH – fewer limescale stains on glasses and in the kettle.

Microplastics and other fine particles

Microplastics and other fine particles

The pores of the Bioton cartridge are around 100 times finer than a hair (0.7 µm) – microscopically small plastic particles and other particles are reliably trapped.

Germs and bacteria

Germs and bacteria

The 0.7 µm germ barrier retains germs and bacteria purely mechanically – without chemicals.

Pharmaceutical residues and pesticides

Pharmaceutical residues and pesticides

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

Heavy metals such as lead and copper

The adsorptive effect of the activated carbon binds and reduces heavy metals in drinking water.

Binds odours and pollutants

Thanks to the strong surface forces (adhesion) of BIOTON, unwanted turbidity and odours such as chlorine, but also organic compounds and pollutants, are filtered out of the water. These include pharmaceutical residues, hormones, pesticides/plant protection products, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and many more.

Binds odours and pollutants

Retains microplastics and bacteria

Bioton has pores of only 0.7 µm – around 100 times finer than a human hair. Sand, rust and microplastics are trapped in them, and bacteria are also mechanically retained. Certified germ protection is provided by the Nano cartridge.

Retains microplastics and bacteria

Limescale reduction through ion exchange (softening effect)

In water treatment, softening (limescale reduction) of the water is achieved through the chemical process of “ion exchange”. With the help of cation and anion exchangers, unwanted salts are removed from the water. For example, one calcium molecule is replaced by two sodium molecules.

When the water exits the fine channels, the pressure drops abruptly. In the process, part of the limescale (Ca²⁺) is converted into aragonite. Aragonite has a different structure from limescale and adheres much less to surfaces – which reduces annoying limescale stains.

Installation

No tools needed – here's how to change the cartridge depending on the housing type:

  1. Changing Element & Duo cartridges

    1Changing Element & Duo cartridges

    Shut off the water supply → unscrew the cap → twist and pull out the old cartridge → push in the new cartridge → screw the cap back on.

  2. 2Let the water run through

    Slowly open the water supply and let the water run through the filter for a few seconds until it comes out of the draw-off point free of bubbles.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Active Plus+ reduce limescale?

The ion exchanger typically lowers carbonate hardness by approx. 4–6 °dH – the water becomes noticeably softer, and tea scum and limescale marks are reduced.

Does this cartridge fit my housing?

Yes – all Alb cartridges fit every Alb housing (Element, Duo, Fusion, Mobil, Travel). The shower cartridges (Balance, Shungit) are intended for showering.

How do I dispose of the old cartridge?

With your general waste. Active cartridges consist largely of coconut activated carbon – a renewable raw material.

Does the new cartridge need to be activated?

No. The Active Plus+ does not need to be activated. After inserting it, simply open the water supply slowly and let the water run through the filter until it comes out of the draw-off point free of bubbles.

Why is the set worth it?

In a set, the price per cartridge is lower than when buying individually – and you have cartridges for around eight months right at hand. Stored cool, dry and in their original packaging, the cartridges keep without any problems.
