We review the client's target market, product type, water quality concerns, performance expectations, flow rate requirements, and price positioning.

We evaluate whether the cartridge has enough effective space to support the required filter media and target performance.
If the available volume is not sufficient, we may suggest product structure adjustments to improve filtration performance.

We select suitable filter media based on the target contaminants, water temperature, flow rate, filter life, and product claims.

We prepare filter cartridge samples based on the selected media combination and product structure.

We test key performance indicators such as chlorine reduction, flow rate, filter life, and product stability according to project requirements.

Based on test results and client feedback, we optimize the filter formula, cartridge structure, material amount, and production process before mass production.

From custom cartridge development to finished product manufacturing, Beyclean supports brands throughout the filter material development process.

Customize cartridge size, structure, water path, filling method, and replacement mechanism based on product requirements.

Choose from single-media or multi-stage media combinations based on target market water quality and product positioning.
