Pairs perfectly with this
Permanently installed – always filtered
The Travel Nano is installed permanently in the on-board water line once and from then on filters all the water you draw: 99.999% of all germs and bacteria are retained by the 0.1 µm membrane – certified to ASTM F838-15A.
It is installed on the pressure side after the water pump.
What the Travel Nano camping water filter removes
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
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.
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)
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
Our high-quality stainless steel housing comes with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.
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 1.5 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.
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 Nano needs min. 1.5 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.
