Permanently installed – always filtered

The Travel Active brings the pollutant filter permanently into the on-board water line: sintered coconut block activated carbon reduces chlorine, off-flavours, microplastics, pharmaceutical residues and heavy metals – in every glass you draw.

It is installed on the pressure side after the water pump.

What the Travel Active camping water filter removes

What the Travel Active camping water filter removes

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

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

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

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

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.

Binds odours and pollutants

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.

Retains microplastics

The filter housing

Made of high-quality V4A stainless steel

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.

Modular filter housing

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)

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

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

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.

The right installation location

Fitted directly after the pump, it filters all of your on-board water – kitchen, bathroom and shower. Alternatively, the filter can be placed in front of a single draw-off point only.

Check before you buy: the on-board pump should deliver at least 2 bar, the hose diameter should be 10–13 mm, and there must be enough room at the installation location for the total length incl. GEKA couplings.

The right installation location

Drip-free filter changes

The GEKA quick couplings with integrated non-return stop prevent residual water from leaking out when you change the cartridge. Take the filter out of the wall bracket, swap the cartridge, hang it back in – done.

All couplings are 100 % Gardena-compatible and DVGW-certified.

Frequently asked questions

Is my on-board pump powerful enough?

The Travel Active needs min. 2 bar. Most standard pressure pumps deliver approx. 2.8 bar or more and are perfectly suitable – a quick look at the pump's data sheet is all it takes. Higher pressure is no problem: there's no upper limit, and more pressure simply increases the flow rate.

Can I also connect the hot water supply and water heater?

Yes – fitted directly after the pump, it filters all of the on-board water, including the supply to the water heater and shower. The cartridge itself should only filter cold incoming water.

Does the filter also work on a boat?

Yes. The Travel is designed for motorhomes, campervans and boats – all that matters is the pump pressure and a hose diameter of 10–13 mm.

How do I change the cartridge while the filter is installed?

Drip-free, thanks to GEKA quick couplings with water stop: take the filter out of the wall bracket, uncouple it, change the cartridge and hang it back in.

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.

Do I also need a filling filter?

The Travel protects everything after the tank. A Mobil filling filter upstream also keeps sediment and pollutants out of the tank – together, they make up the PRO Camper Set.

  • Jürgen B Verified buyer Germany · 2 years ago

    Filter permanently installed in the motorhome. Does 100% what it's supposed to. Water pressure a bit lower, as expected. Only small point of criticism, the supplied adapters are unnecessary. Leaving them out and making it a bit cheaper would be better!

    Filter im Wohnmobil fest installiert. Macht zu 100% was er soll. Wasserdruck wie erwartet etwas weniger. Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt, mitgelieferte Adapter unnötig. Weglassen und etwas günstiger währe besser!
