Your shower experience, filtered
The Shungit shower filter relies on a natural rock from Karelia that is around 600 million years old: Shungit contains hollow spherical fullerenes, which are credited with adsorptive, catalytic and bactericidal properties – for vitalised, structured shower water.
Fitted in seconds between the tap and the shower hose.
What the Shungit shower filter can do!
Binding of free radicals
Shungit is said to bind free radicals – these are considered partly responsible for skin ageing.
Adsorptive, catalytic and bactericidal
Shungit rock, around 600 million years old, with its hollow spherical fullerenes, is credited with adsorptive, catalytic and bactericidal properties.
Reduces microbes
According to studies, the microbial count in Shungit-filtered water can be up to twelve times lower than in tap water.
Vitalises and structures the shower water
Shungit-filtered water is considered vitalised and structured – for a natural, soft shower experience.
Pure natural rock from Karelia
The cartridge is filled with 100% pure Shungit carbon granules – with no additives. Studies (including NCBI 2017 on antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects) accompany the traditional use of the black rock in water treatment.
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
What exactly is Shungit?
A carbon-rich natural rock from Karelia (Russia) that is around 600 million years old. It contains fullerenes – hollow spherical carbon molecules that are credited with adsorptive, catalytic and bactericidal properties.
What does the filter do in the shower?
Shungit-filtered water can contain up to twelve times fewer microbes than tap water; the rock is also said to bind free radicals, which contribute to skin ageing. This is not a promise of healing.
How often does the cartridge need to be changed?
Every 6 months or after approx. 5,000 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).
Does the water pressure drop when showering?
At approx. 12 l/min (at 3 bar), you can shower without any noticeable loss of pressure.

super, great product, quick selection, even quicker delivery, and quickly fitted too with the quick-change tool. If the angle valve hadn't started leaking in the process, everything would have gone perfectly, but AB can't be blamed for that !!

There's no noticeable difference, neither skin nor hair feel any different than before, nor do we have fewer water stains on the glass partition.

Sehr geehrter Kunde, vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung und Ihr ehrliches Feedback. Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass Sie mit der Shungit Filterkartusche nicht die gewünschten Ergebnisse erzielt haben. Bitte beachten Sie, dass die Shungit Kartusche primär für esoterische Anwendungen gedacht ist und weniger zur Wasserenthärtung beiträgt. Für eine effektive Reduzierung von Kalkablagerungen und eine spürbare Verbesserung der Wasserqualität empfehlen wir unsere Balance Filterkartusche. Diese filtert nicht nur Verunreinigungen aus dem Wasser, sondern wandelt auch den Kalk in Aragonit um, was zu …

Delivered quickly and quickly and easily fitted and put into operation. The water pressure hasn't changed significantly in our case, so great. The water somehow seems to be gentler. Whether the shower is now a fountain of youth, we'll probably only know in a few years 😉

Schnell geliefert und schnell und einfach montiert und in Betrieb genommen. Der Wasserdruck hat sich in unserem Fall nicht wesentlich verändert, also prima. Das Wasser scheint irgendwie schmeichelnder zu sein. Ob die Fische nun ein Jungbrunnen ist, werden wir wohl erst in ein paar Jahren wissen 😉

We've been using the Shungit filter from Alb for about two weeks and are very satisfied! The skin feels very soft and smooth after showering. Even my daughter noticed the difference in the water when showering; I hadn't told her anything about the filter. I'd also like to note that we have very hard water. Since using the filter, however, our glass shower screens get noticeably less limescale!! Best regards from Klosterneuburg, Alexandra Sievers

Seit ca. zwei Wochen nutzen wir den Shungit-Filter von Alb und sind sehr zufrieden! Die Haut fühlt sich nach dem Duschen sehr weich und zart an. Selbst meiner Tochter ist der Unterschied des Wassers beim Duschen aufgefallen; ich hatte ihr nichts von dem Filter verraten. Außerdem möchte ich anmerken, dass wir sehr kalkhaltiges Wasser haben. Seit der Nutzung des Filters verkalken jedoch unsere Duschglaswände auffallend weniger!! Beste Grüße aus Klosterneuburg, Alexandra Sievers

The filter is top. It's easy to install, and looks unobtrusive too. Water flows. I also have the feeling that my skin doesn't itch and isn't as dry any more. I've already reordered filters. Really satisfied.
