Alb shower filter Balance

The wellness filter for skin and hair

A completely new shower experience! The Alb Balance cartridge turns your shower into a wellness experience. The natural raw material activated carbon, supported by a high-purity copper-zinc alloy (KDF), reduces pollutants, chlorine and heavy metals. DERMA and pH-Fix beads stabilize the water and enrich it with minerals. Many of our customers report a softer skin feeling, smoother hair and even relief from skin complaints. You too can discover the revitalizing effect of the Alb Balance shower filter.

The water filter is installed between the tap and the shower hose and is basically ready for immediate use. Bathrooms with concealed taps may require a spacer. Further information on installing the filter can be found here.
