Pre-filter module with filter pad

Alb Filter Protect is the pre-filter extension for your Element housing (camping, shower filter or under-sink) to protect the installed cartridge.

Pipe deposits, sand, sediment, rust or suspended solids can clog cartridges more quickly. The replaceable, sintered PP fleeces with a fineness of 40 µm protect the downstream cartridges and extend their service life.

With filter pad for sediment, rust and sand

The fine pores of the filter pad retain all particles larger than 0.04 mm – at 0.08 mm, a human hair is twice as thick. Depending on the water quality, the pad can be cleaned with a brush; it only needs replacing when the flow rate remains permanently reduced.

With filter pad for sediment, rust and sand

Important: stainless steel and aluminium are not compatible

The Protect module is available in two versions with different connection threads. This page shows the aluminium version.

You can recognise stainless steel housings by the black Alb logo and two male threads, and aluminium housings (silver, titanium, blue) by the white logo and internal threads. Not sure? Tel. +41 41 792 1001.

Frequently asked questions

When does the filter pad need changing?

Based on a visual check or when the flow rate drops noticeably. Coarse residues can be removed beforehand with a brush. Replacement pads are available in a pack of 3.

Will Protect fit my housing?

Yes – if it's the right version: stainless steel Protect for stainless steel housings, aluminium Protect for aluminium housings. The threads of the two versions are not compatible.

Does Protect replace a filter cartridge?

No. Protect is a coarse filter (40 µm) that protects the main cartridge from particles – the actual filtration is done by Active, Nano & Co.
