Active drinking water filter
Pollutant filter for installation under the sink
The Under-sink water filter ensures pure, tasty drinking water straight from the tap. The activated carbon cartridge protects against harmful substances and at the same time improves the taste and clarity of the water.
Once installed under the sink, the water filter provides the best drinking water whenever the tap is opened. Also ideal for 3-way taps.
The Active cartridge consists of a specially purified and sintered core of activated carbon, which is able to reduce chlorine and chlorine degradation products, organic pollutants, various drug residues, light hydrocarbons, solvents, pesticides, aromas and fine particles (rust, lime flakes, sand). In addition, bland and chlorinated taste impairments in the water are effectively neutralized.
Area of application
The stainless steel housing
Made from 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 odorless and tasteless.
Connection directly to the cold water angle valve
Our connection kits contain all the parts required to install the housing directly on the cold water corner valve under the sink.
One housing, three cartridges
Choose between our Active, Active+ and Nano drinking water cartridges or combine them to cover the maximum filter spectrum.
Modular filter housing
The housing can be extended to an additional filter stage (Fusion) and supplemented with the Protect module. With the appropriate adapters, the housing can also be used in the camper or in the shower.
10-year guarantee
The stainless steel housing comes with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee.
Produced in southern Germany
Our water filters are manufactured in southern Germany and are subject to Alb Filter's high standards in terms of quality and durability.
Simple filter change without tools?
Choose the connection set with quick-release coupling and change your cartridge in no time at all.
Practical: The quick-release couplings with water stop prevent residual water from leaking in the filter and in the pipe. Always close the water supply at the angle valve before changing.
Optionally with Protect pre-filter
The fine pores of the installed cartridges can easily become clogged with particles such as sediment, rust and sand. With the replaceable, sintered PP fleece with a fineness of 40 µm, the Protect pre-filter extension offers reliable protection and increases the service life of the subsequent cartridge.

Filter cartridges against pollutants or germs
The choice is yours! If you opt for the filtration of pollutants, you can choose between the Active and Active Plus cartridges. For protection against germs and bacteria, please choose the Nano cartridge. For all-round filter performance, choose the combination filter consisting of a double-stage housing and the Active and Nano cartridges.

What is filtered?
Chlorine and other taste impairments
The high-quality Alb Filter coconut block activated carbon adsorbs unpleasant odors (chlorine, CHCs, CFCs, etc.) and impairs the taste of drinking water.
Microplastics and other fine particles
The ultra-fine structure of the sintered activated carbon reliably retains microscopic plastic particles.
Drug residues and pesticides
Organic compounds such as pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, pharmaceutical residues, hormones and hormone-like substances are reduced.
Heavy metals such as lead and copper
The adsorbing effect of activated carbon binds and reduces heavy metals in drinking water.
Binds odors and pollutants
The strong surface forces (adhesion) of the activated carbon remove unwanted turbidity and odors such as chlorine as well as organic compounds and pollutants from the water. These include pharmaceutical residues, hormones, pesticides/pesticides, perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), etc.
Filters microplastics up to 10µm
The sintered activated carbon has a pore size of just 10µm (0.01 mm). This means that even very small particles are effectively retained by the fine structure. The Active cartridge thus offers protection against microplastics, sand, rust and other particles.

Installation
With the connection sets, you can easily install the Alb filter system under the kitchen sink on the corner valves. The connection is generally made to the cold water inlet. A connection to the hot water inlet is possible, but the maximum operating temperature of the individual cartridges must be taken into account.
Installation Standard connection set
- Flexible hose with 1/2'' external thread and 3/8'' internal thread
- Filter housing (note flow direction - marked with the arrow and IN)
- Thread adapter: 3/8″ external thread x 1/2″ internal thread
Installation Connection set with quick couplings
- Flexible hose with 1/2'' external thread and 3/8'' internal thread
- Quick coupling plug with 1/2'' internal thread
- Quick coupling with 1/2'' external thread
- Filter housing (note flow direction - marked with the arrow and IN)
- Quick coupling plug with 1/2'' internal thread
- Quick coupling with 3/8'' external thread
You can find more information on the subject of installation on our website under the heading Installation instructions or in the installation instructions supplied.
Further installation help- Before starting installation, connect the water supply line to the corresponding fitting.
- Unscrew the cold water supply hose from your angle valve to the fitting.
- Screw a second Flex hose connection onto the angle valve (included in the complete set and complete set with quick-release couplings).
- Then attach the filter housing (ELEMENT or FUSION) between the flex hose connection from the angle valve and the supply line to the fitting.
- Use an adapter if necessary.
- Open the water supply pipe at the angle valve.
- Slowly open the tap and let the water run through the filter for 20 seconds to activate the cartridge for operation. (Fusion: When activating the Active cartridge, the Nano cartridge must not )
