Fill up with clean water – right from the start
When filling the fresh water tank, the Alb Filter MOBIL Active is simply hung between the water point and the filler neck. This means chlorine, pollutants, sediment and fine particles never even get into the tank system and you actively prevent deposits and pollutants in the water tank.
Ideal for motorhomes, campervans, caravans and boats – especially when travelling, if you don't know the water quality at the water point.
The filter is connected via brass GEKA couplings with DVGW drinking water approval.
The connections are fully Gardena-compatible and can be integrated into your existing hose system without tools. A hose section (approx. 30 cm) is included.
What the Mobil Active camping water filter filters out
Active cartridge made of sintered coconut activated carbon block. The Active cartridge works in two ways: adsorption binds odours, chlorine and dissolved pollutants, while mechanical filtration retains particles down to 10 µm – at a full flow rate of approx. 7 l/min.
Chlorine and other off-flavours
The high-quality Alb Filter coconut activated carbon block adsorbs unpleasant odours (chlorine, CHCs, CFCs and much more) and off-flavours in drinking water.
Microplastics and other fine particles
Thanks to the ultra-fine structure of the sintered activated carbon, microscopic plastic particles are reliably retained.
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
The adsorptive effect of the activated carbon binds and reduces heavy metals in drinking water.
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 sintered activated carbon has pores of only 10 µm – about 7 times finer than a human hair. Microplastics, sand, rust and other particles reliably get caught in them.
The filter housing
The right housing for every requirement
Aluminium: Lightweight, inexpensive aluminium housing, available in silver, titanium and blue.
Stainless steel: Robust, food-safe V4A stainless steel housing, corrosion-resistant, germ-resistant and neutral in odour and taste.
Modular filter housing
The housing can be extended with a second filter stage (Fusion) at any time and supplemented with the Protect pre-filter module. With the appropriate adapters, the housing can also be installed at home under the sink or in the shower.
Protect pre-filter module (optional extension)
The Protect pre-filter module is installed as an additional component upstream of the actual filter cartridges. It offers protection against sediment, rust and sand and extends the capacity of the downstream cartridges.
10-year warranty on the stainless steel housing
Our high-quality stainless steel housing comes with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.
Made in southern Germany
Our water filters are manufactured in southern Germany and are subject to Alb Filter's high standards of quality and durability.
Filling made simple
Water point → hose → Alb Filter → filler neck: when filling, the filter simply sits in the hose line. On the inlet side, any Gardena hose fits; on the outlet side, the short hose section supplied leads into the tank opening.
After filling up, the filter is left to drain and stowed away to save space.
Aluminium or stainless steel?
Aluminum: anodized aluminum-magnesium, particularly light and affordable, in three colors – ideal for occasional campers.
V4A stainless steel: corrosion-resistant, germ-resistant and taste-neutral – the right choice for long-term campers and regions with hard or saline water. 10-year warranty on the stainless steel housing.
For a clean tank system
By installing the filter between the water connection and the motorhome's filler neck, pollutants as well as anything that impairs the taste and appearance of the water are filtered out during the filling process. Coarse particles such as sediment, rust and sand also never even get into the tank.
Want to stop germs and bacteria as well? The Fusion set combines the Active and Nano stages and makes biofilm in the tank virtually impossible.

Frequently asked questions
Does the filter fit my Gardena hose?
Yes. The GEKA brass couplings (with DVGW drinking water approval) are 100% Gardena-compatible – including on city water connections.
Do I need to clean the tank first?
Yes, once before first use – e.g. with Alb Clean. After that, the filling filter reliably keeps new dirt out.
How long does a cartridge last?
The Active cartridge filters 3,000–5,000 litres or lasts approx. 4 months in use – a whole season for most campers. Breaks during which the cartridge is stored dry don't count.
Do the 4 months also count if the cartridge is stored dry?
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.
Aluminium or stainless steel – which should I choose?
Aluminium is lighter and cheaper – ideal for occasional campers. Stainless steel (V4A) is corrosion-resistant, germ-resistant and the right choice for frequent use or hard/salty water.
What should I do in winter?
Store the filter somewhere dry and frost-free. Remove the cartridge, let it dry and rinse it briefly before the start of the season.

A very good product. I've been using an equivalent product at home for several years. It's a pity that when it isn't used for a longer period you have to remove the filter inserts to dry them. There are surely simpler solutions and that also keeps me from installing it permanently.

Ein sehr gutes Produkt. Ich verwende schon seit mehreren Jahren ein äquivalentes Produkt zuhause. Schade, dass man bei längerem Nichtgebrauch die Filtereinsätze ausbauen muss um diese zu trocknen. Da gibt es sicher einfachere Lösungen und das hindert mich auch vor dem Festeinbau.
