🚀 Campaign Launched!
We launched our portable water filter on Kickstarter! The journey begins.
We launched our portable water filter on Kickstarter! The journey begins.
We optimized the final blueprints. The filter cartridge part is now detachable for easy cleaning and has a larger capacity with a higher flow rate.
We successfully ended our campaign with 1,380 backers! A huge thank you for your support and trust.
Final blueprints were delivered to the factory. We've kicked off meetings with engineers to begin mold design.
We made a last-minute, important improvement: adding an air valve to make squeezing and rebound significantly easier.
Based on your feedback, we've designed a dust cap for the filter base. We've finalized the drawings, validated the design, and sent it to the factory. One will be included with each filter.
Molds are complete! We've produced the first engineering prototypes (T0) for initial assembly and structure checks.
We are fine-tuning the molds based on the T0 prototypes, making minor adjustments for a perfect part fit.
Assembled filter samples are at a 3rd-party lab undergoing rigorous tests for water pressure, pore size, and microbial filtration.
All packaging design and materials are finalized. Production of the eco-friendly retail boxes has started.
Final product color will be confirmed. All T0 revisions will be approved. We are planning to begin T1 mass production.
Units will be undergoing a battery of stress tests including drop, scratch, UV exposure, and waterproof sealing.
During trial production, we noticed slight friction in the filter thread. We recalled the initial batch and asked the factory to adjust the mold for a smoother fit.
We discovered that the initial color matching looked different under natural sunlight versus factory lights, causing inconsistencies. We immediately restarted the process, recalibrating all colors in daylight, and have now locked in the final shades and texture for the key components.
The first revised batch of filters will be produced and assembled. We will have 2 days off for new year's holidy, Happy New Year to you all!!
Manufacturing completed. Assembly begins.
All units assembled, tested, and packaged. Shipping starts at the next day.
