Customer reviews of Orinko

I've been wanting to try ceramic beads for a while. Their virtues seem promising with a very wide use and a super long life span. You can use them to improve the taste of water, to avoid limescale in a kettle, a washing machine or a dishwasher (with the use of a bag)! This batch comes in a box of 50 pearls, knowing that you need 1 pearl for at least 10 cl of water. In a carafe of one liter, we will use 10 or even 15 and in a washing machine the whole lot.before the first use, it is necessary to put the pearls 10 min in boiling water and to let them dry then. You can also use this same technique to clean them from time to time or use white vinegar. This can also help to preserve flowers or fruits and vegetables while reducing bad smells. The efficiency is however relative and will depend on the hardness of the water as well as on its own pallet. Some people say it's a miracle while others say it's a scam. This is really the type of product that you have to test to make up your mind. For my part, it is too early to say whether or not it is anti-scale. On the other hand, the taste is undeniable. My wife, who is very sensitive to taste and uses a carafe filter, removed the filter from her carafe and placed the pearls in its place. And according to her, "the water no longer tastes like tap water". I am waiting to see if the effect will last. 25€ for 50 pearls, the price is rather well situated here compared to the competition knowing that the life span is very long, often given to 10 years. For the moment, I am satisfied, especially if we manage to do without filters for the carafe. The investment seems to be beneficial in the long term. Now it's up to you to test it!

Very good product but it would be more interesting to have a material a little more flexible to go in the ear because it is not very pleasant.

Although it says that the stick sizes can vary, there were 4 very small sticks out of the 6, including 2 tiny ones. Instead of one stick per liter of water, you have to use 3! The efficiency of water purification is not obvious either, the water keeps an aftertaste even after 24 hours at rest.

Much softer linen very good.

The water has no particular taste. To see with the use if the health is improved.

Very good product

ITEM CONFORMS TO THE SELLER'S DESCRIPTION

It seems to be effective but you need time... and a little disturbing sensation (scratching in the ear is a place you never scratch)

I have been using these sticks for 2 years and I find that the quality is decreasing. The sticks break at the first use and it is not practical to go and get the pieces at the bottom of the jar....

Small compact box with 50 pearls to remove limestone. I put in the carafe after having filtered the water with the carbon and a part that is to say 10 in the kettle because the water of my city is very calcareous. The result is positive!

I thought I could reduce the chlorine taste but unfortunately it is too strong. I am in one of the regions of France where it is the strongest... too bad because the concept is good.

nothing to report, everything was fine

I take these sticks with me when I have to sleep elsewhere than at home because I really like the fact that they are individually wrapped, for hygiene we are sure not to catch anything by leaving his brush in a glass or a kit not completely clean.It's also practical to take to work to wash your teeth during lunch break.no need to bring your toothpaste! I find that the efficiency is not bad either, the taste also suits me.I still find that the shape of the classic brushes is more effective to clean teeth well as it should. But it's worth it to try and change your habits to limit your plastic waste.

a very good product to purify water but it is very fragile and causes small debris in the water. On the other hand, in the description it said that a stick can be used for 3-6 months but on the package it is only 2 months? I purify water 3-4 times/day and I don't know if it's good or not...

very good idea to democratize tooth cleaning by using an ancestral method. very strange to use but works. My teeth are clean.

Ceramic beads to put in water to purify the taste and reduce limescale deposits.easy to use, just put them in the water and wait at least 10 minutes (or more for a better efficiency). (I have to admit that the water tastes a little bit better.Instead of cleaning my kettle every 5 uses, I was able to last 15 days without having too many deposits.On the other hand, I have no scientific way to check the rate of limestone.Multiple uses and almost unlimited lifePrice reasonable.

To prevent the damage caused by limescale in tap water, whether for your health or for that of your appliances, these pearls are essential and their large number is very appreciable.

I tested these ceramic pearls which are supposed to improve the quality of water and reduce limescale.I followed the instructions before using them, that is to say, boil the pearls in boiling water for 10 minutes and then dry them.I then divided them into two packages, one that I put in my kettle and the other in the water tank of my coffee pod maker.After a few weeks, it seems to me that the water of my kettle is of better quality but there is still some scale at the bottom of the tank, despite the pearls.As far as the coffee maker is concerned, I didn't have until now the red indicator light indicating that it is necessary to descale the coffee maker.To see in the time if these pearls are really effective, that is to say when my coffee maker will ask to be descaled.

As indicated on the box, you have to put the ceramic beads 10 minutes in boiling water before the first use. Then, you just have to pour the beads in water (about 10 to 15 beads for 1 liter), wait 10 minutes, and the water is purified.I did the test with 0,5 l of tap water and 8 beads, and I admit I was happily surprised: the taste is really better than tap water. It seems to be purified, there is less bleach taste. I didn't receive an e-book, though, so I don't know how many times you can reuse the beads, if you have to boil them again, etc... The price is still high.

It is a great substitute for the pitchers and other things I have used so far. The only drawback is that the stick crumbles when you empty the container in which it is placed, and as a result, there are small pieces of charcoal in the water poured. But this disadvantage is minor compared to the advantage it brings.

To filter my tap water, putting them in jugs. Some of the sticks were very wide and do not fit through the neck...I fortunately have pitchers with wide openings in which I could use them.But forget about the "blackblum" decanters

at the time I had had them much cheaper than now I would not take them back due to the current price I had paid only 12e they do the job but they are far too fragile after a while it ends in small pieces

Good quality and efficient product

Ceramic beads can be used to filter water, descale, clean appliances and keep flowers longer! To clean your appliances such as kettles, teapots or coffee makers and remove limescale, always leave a dozen gray ceramic beads in the bottom.To keep your bouquet of flowers longerPlace a dozen ceramic beads at the bottom of your vase.I used these beads in my coffee machine, they remain permanently in the water supply which allows me to remove the scale from the water.I also have in my water pitcher, and psychological effect or not, we have seen a net improvement of our water! Perfect to recommend strongly.Thank you for clicking so useful :)

fast delivery and great filtering idea

I doubt a little the product, but it reassures the guests (who say they don't like the taste of tap water). Here it's a batch of 50 pearls, we put up to 10 in a bottle of 1l and it's supposed to remove the limestone. After 3 months of use, I did not see any difference. But it reassures the guests...Note: Sometimes they break in my bottle and get stuck at the neck! The cat likes to play with them...

I didn't like it at all.it's very difficult to reach all the areas of the mouth and it wears out quickly.moreover we end up with pieces that go around the tongue.it's without toothpaste. I can't get used to it. It reminds me too much of those of animals.

I found the good taste of siwak that I used to buy in Algeria a long time ago.length and shape of the sticks conform.small downside as to the thickness against.unpacking the product I was surprised to see the sticks wet, 2 to 3 days later when their diameter was divided by two by drying I understood why they had been moistened.I find the process very limited for siwaks to 2 € per unit.

These ceramic beads are easy to use and pretty. But having a gravity water filter, I wonder about their ability to really purify water

Not to be confused with classic biochatan, here it is hollow bamboo, it remains a good value for money, but you should not expect the same quality as the classic

First time that I use this kind of natural "toothbrush", stick a little wet, must chew the end to be able to begin to brush the teeth. Small impression of lightening of the teeth, has to see in the time if that accentuates. leave the stick in its case and close again well after use so that it does not dry.

The biggest ones do not fit in the classic bottles

I chose these ceramic beads to improve the taste of my tap water, which is particularly chlorinated. You just have to put a dozen beads in 1 liter of water for 30 minutes to 1 hour to get a much better taste. Indeed, it seems to work. The pearls are indestructible and they slightly remove the chlorinated taste of water. The concern for me lies more in the difficulty of putting the pearls on and taking them off rather than in the effectiveness. Let me explain: the pearls come in a small cardboard box, without a muslin bag or tweezers. Slipping them into a carafe for 30 minutes is more complicated than it seems because there is no suitable container. For the moment I use my tea infuser, but I am not very satisfied with this process. I don't want to use plastic, so I'm thinking of looking for tea filters maybe, to solve the problem of moving the beads. Otherwise, I would like to know if leaving the beads in the water carafe all the time is a problem?

one time the water is good and the other time it has a taste so I went back to the tap water

At first I was happy with the product but it is difficult to remove the coating and the bristles are very very hard I made wounds on my gums although I do not press at all.

It is good but I think that it should not be used every day. I followed the instructions well but it does hurt even if you don't press it. Otherwise it comes with a nice storage bag which is convenient in case of transport.

I received my beads today and some are broken! What to do?

Weird. I'm waiting to see

Too small, but well made.
