Certified protection against legionella and germs
The Nano shower filter protects where legionella is most dangerous: in the shower, where water is inhaled as an aerosol. The 0.1 µm hollow-fibre membrane retains 99.999% of all germs, bacteria and legionella – preventively or in the event of acute contamination.
Fitted in seconds between the tap and the shower hose.
What the Nano shower filter can do
Nano germ filter with 0.1 µm hollow-fibre membrane. The Nano cartridge uses its hollow-fibre membrane (principle of bundled drinking straws, 0.1 µm) to retain microorganisms purely mechanically – without chemicals, certified to ASTM F838-15A.
Microorganisms
The Nano cartridge focuses on filtering germs and bacteria in high concentrations, e.g. E. coli, Vibrio cholerae, Shigella, Salmonella.
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
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
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.
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.
The filter housing
Made of high-quality V4A stainless steel
The robust and durable stainless steel housing is free of harmful substances, corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, germ-resistant and neutral in odour and taste.
Fits all standard shower taps
Thanks to the 1/2'' thread, it fits all standard shower taps.
A spacer is often required for concealed taps.
One housing, three cartridges
Choose freely between our Balance, Nano and Shungit shower filter cartridges.
Modular filter housing
The housing can be extended or used for other applications, for example as a drinking water filter under the sink or in a campervan.
10-year warranty on the stainless steel housing
We provide a 10-year manufacturer's warranty on all Alb Filter stainless steel housings.
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.
Concealed tap? The spacer helps
The Alb shower filter is fitted between the tap and the shower hose. The distance between the wall and the centre of the connection thread must be at least 35 mm. If the distance is not sufficient, the Alb Filter spacer solves the problem.

Frequently asked questions
Why a germ filter in the shower, of all places?
Showering creates a fine water mist (aerosol) that is inhaled – the main transmission route for legionella. The Nano filter retains them right before the shower head.
Does the filter help in the event of acute legionella contamination?
Yes. The 0.1 µm membrane can be used preventively and after a positive test result – certified to ASTM F838-15A, with linked lab reports.
How often does the cartridge need to be changed?
Every 6 months or after 5,000–7,000 litres – depending on water quality and showering habits.
Will the filter fit my shower tap?
Yes, with a standard ½" thread between the tap and the shower hose. For concealed taps, the optional spacer helps (minimum distance 35 mm).
When is the Protect pre-filter worthwhile?
As a rule: the 40 µm pad protects the fine 0.1 µm membrane from sediment and noticeably extends its service life.

Shipping went smoothly and quickly. Installation in the shower was really easy. The filter performance is right too. The germ load is demonstrably (I won't go into more detail now) at 0. I am very satisfied.

When we're travelling with the motorhome in areas where we don't know what comes out of the tap, we rely on the Alb Filter Nano in addition to the Active filter we always use. The stainless steel version is made to last forever.

Delivery and packaging great, the product looks high quality, but you certainly can't judge how it works just a few days after delivery. I'll do that later. Here's a photo with the connections of the Knaus Bluuwater system fitted.

Super fast delivery. Swabian-level workmanship. Can't judge the filter effect yet. Just hope all the unwelcome bacteria get filtered out.

The shower filter is very well made and easy to fit. I can't say anything about its effectiveness, but in any case the shower's flow rate is hardly affected. It would be nice if there were some kind of test certificate that one could show to the health authority in case it insists on proof of effectiveness. What I don't like is that the housing is considerably larger in diameter than the filter. That may be because the housing is designed for a variety of filters, but it means that I now have an oversized housing in the shower …

Der Duschfilter ist sehr gut verarbeitet und leicht anzubringen. Über die Wirksamkeit kann ich nichts sagen, der Durchfluss der Dusche wird jedenfalls kaum beeinträchtigt. Schön wäre, wenn es noch irgendein Prüfzertifikat gäbe, das man dem Gesundheitsamt vorweisen könnte, falls dieses auf einem Wirksamkeitsnachweis bestehen sollte. Was mir nicht gefällt ist, dass das Gehäuse deutlich größer im Durchmesser ist als der Filter. Das mag dem geschuldet sein, dass das Gehäuse für eine Vielzahl von Filtern gedacht ist, führt aber dazu, dass bei mir nun ein überdimensioniertes Gehäuse in der Dusche …
