Nano germ filter cartridge

Protection against germs and bacteria for drinking water and showers

Designed primarily for water contaminated with germs and bacteria where the highest safety standards are required. The certified cartridge filters out 99.999% of all harmful germs and bacteria, including legionella, Vibrio cholerae and E. coli. With its 0.1 µm fine pores, the hollow-fibre membrane cartridge also offers protection against microplastics and other particles.

Shower: In the shower at home, the Nano cartridge protects against legionella, both preventively and in acute cases.

Kitchen: In the kitchen, it provides pure drinking water, free from microorganisms such as E. coli and other pathogenic germs.

Camping: On the road, the Nano cartridge offers maximum microbiological safety – regardless of the source the water comes from.

What is filtered?

What is filtered?

Nano cartridge with 0.1 µm hollow-fibre membrane: it retains 99.999% of all germs and bacteria purely mechanically – certified according to ASTM F838-15A, at a full flow rate of approx. 11 l/min.

Microorganisms

Microorganisms

The Nano cartridge focuses on filtering germs and bacteria in high concentrations, e.g. E. coli, Vibrio cholerae, Shigella, Salmonella.

Legionella

Legionella

The Nano cartridge reliably filters legionella out of tap water. Whether as a preventive measure or following a positive legionella test.

Microplastics and other fine particles

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.

Biofilm-forming microorganisms

Biofilm-forming microorganisms

Reduces the formation of biofilm and other deposits caused by bacteria.

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.

Stops germs and bacteria

Protection against legionella!

This certified quality solution offers maximum protection against Legionnaires' disease. The Nano cartridge can be used both preventively and in the event of acute legionella contamination and provides protection in accordance with ASTM F838-15A.

Flow rate

Flow rate at approx. 3 bar water pressure

Germ reduction by log level

Log 1
90% – of 100,000,000 germs, 10,000,000 remain
Log 2
99% – roughly equivalent to the effect of soap
Log 3
99.9% – 100,000 remain
Log 4
99.99% – disinfection in the non-medical sector
Log 5
99.999% – 1,000 remain
Log 6
99.9999% – 100 remain
Log 7
99.99999% – sterile filtration according to ASTM/FDA
Log 8
99.999999% – 1 remains
Log 9
99.9999999% – filtration performance of the Nano cartridge

Each log level corresponds to a reduction by a factor of 10. The Nano cartridge reduces microorganisms by more than 9 log levels, thus exceeding the requirements for the medical sector (ASTM F838-15A).

* Capacity depends on the quality of the incoming water. ** Flow rate at approx. 3 bar water pressure; filter performance depends on the flow speed.

Installation

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

  1. Changing Element & Duo cartridges

    1Changing Element & Duo cartridges

    Close the water supply → unscrew the lid → pull out the old cartridge with a twisting motion → press in the new Nano cartridge → screw the lid back on.

  2. Changing Fusion cartridges

    2Changing Fusion cartridges

    Close the water supply → open both housing stages → change the cartridges. Important: only insert the Nano cartridge AFTER the Active cartridge has been flushed.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the Nano is exhausted?

The flow rate drops noticeably – when exhausted, the membrane automatically ‘closes up’. Replace it after 6 months at the latest.

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?

In general household waste. Unlike the Active cartridges, the Nano does not contain activated carbon but a plastic hollow-fibre membrane.

Does the Nano also protect against legionella?

Yes – the 0.1 µm membrane reliably retains legionella, both as a precaution and when tests show acute contamination. You'll find the lab reports (legionella & E. coli, ASTM F838-15A) in the technical data.
