PREAMBLE
Alb Filter® - a maer of heart.
We are pleased that you have chosen Alb filter.
Since 2001 we can look back on a great experience in the
field of water treatment.
At a time when even the smallest part seems to come from
the Far East, we at Alb Filter stand for quality from the
centre of the Swabian Alb. A production site in southern
Germany, which is characterized by the highest standards
and precision in many areas.
We feel commied to our region and manufacture our pro-
ducts with our partners in the surrounding area.
A real piece of home - Made in Germany.
DESCRIPTION
The Alb Filter® DUO - a high quality water filter for
installation directly on the tap.
Alb Filter® DUO is ideal for:
• Drinking water treatment
• Preparation of food (cooking water)
• Cleaning of food
The water filter is installed directly on the kitchen faucet. For
this purpose the bypass is screwed to the standardized out-
let (M22 AG/M24 IG) instead of the jet regulator.
By means of a practical switch lever, it is possible to choose
between filtered and unfiltered water.

PLEASE NOTE BEFORE INSTALLATION
The Alb Filter® DUO has a standard M22 female thread, suitable
for most taps with M22 male thread. If your faucet does not
have a M22 external thread, you will need an adapter.
Adapter available at www.alb-filter.com
Shop Category: Accessories
DETERMINE CONNECTION THREAD
The two most common jet control variants are called M22 or
M24 in technical terms. Furthermore there are further sizes
e.g. M16, M18 and M21, which are however less common.
Online thread guide for more details at
www.alb-filter.com
Procedure for determining their connection thread:
1. Remove your aerator from the fiing. If necessary, use a
pipe wrench with jaw protection or a mounting key.
2. Measure the diameter of the thread on the tap.
Alternatively, measure the diameter at the unscrewed
aerator.
