Average product

Compared to Brita cartridges, there is a scale deposit that forms

I AM SURPRISED TO RECEIVE ONLY 4 BINCHOTAN INSTEAD OF 5 AS INDICATED WHEN ORDERING

Not very pleasant...

These sticks are also worth recycling after their first use. And, what's more, a recycling that stays for you instead of going I don't know where since you can have it at leisure as a deodorizer or fertilizer or dehumidifier. Fashion effect? Still, the price is skyrocketing for what is after all only charcoal.

Practical to remove the taste of water but must be maintained by boiling it and then the carbon breaks easily, which leaves a black deposit at the bottom of the bottle

the product arrived on time, I don't have much experience in using it, but I'm still skeptical about the effectiveness of the product

Good product but fragile

Tested on very hard water, I was not convinced by the result, maybe because I did not let the water stand for 10 minutes before putting the kettle on? The test on cold water was not conclusive either: the water in my town has no taste.it's a pity: I like the idea, and the fact that these pearls are marketed by an ESAT (disabled people who choose to work rather than passively wait for social aid) makes me really want to encourage them.

I found it too long and not rigid enough

Bought it, I almost never use it, spoils the taste buds

The charcoals worked very well at first, but soon they were no longer effective in the short term. You have to let them soak for a long time to remove the chlorine taste. Not effective enough in my opinion.

Very good gives a good taste to the tap waterPity that it is fragileThe slightest knock on the bottle can cause breakage of the carbon

I am very disappointed because it leaves deposits at the bottom of my glass bottle and be careful because they are very fragile, don't drop them on a hard surface or they will break.I have an activated carbon that a friend gave me that is "round" or "full" I don't know how to describe it and it doesn't leave any deposit. I boiled both the same way, otherwise the taste of my water disappears so it's cool.

The packaging of the box was perfect. But the protection of each coal, was very limited, just wrapped in a thin paper.out of the 3, there is one that arrived broken. They look very very fragile. I have a doubt if it will last in time.

Very good for the planet but not at all comfortable to do nor in terms of longevity

It softens the taste of the water and it is unequivocal. Only I haven't really tested its filtration power to be totally sure so I can't put 5 on 5.

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.

Very good product

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....

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.

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.

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

fast delivery and great filtering idea

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.

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

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.

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

Weird. I'm waiting to see

Too small, but well made.

The beads are not as white as they were the first day but it seems to work! No lime deposits in the decanter.

Works effectively on limescale but gives the water a white color, instead of having limescale patches the size is decreased. I don't think it's good to drink limescale particles with every tea.

I discovered the existence of ceramic beads thanks to Orinko. After surfing a little, I found some reassuring information about the company. It is French and located in Strasbourg. Its objective is to propose solutions to consume healthy water while preserving nature and resources, and to donate funds to fight against deforestation. It is a committed company.These pearls are proposed to: - remove the bad taste of tap water, - reduce limescale deposits, - balance the pH.The objective is to use less plastic bottles in particular.I deplore the lack of notice. I like others had to search on the website Orinko.Before any use, be sure to plunge the pearls 10 minutes in boiling water and to let them dry.Then, the principle is simple, it is enough to place the pearls in a carafe, to put water and to let act 30 min at least (or 10 min according to the site).10 to 15 pearls are necessary to filter a liter of water.Level of effectiveness, it is hard to decide. I can't make tests to measure and check the composition of the water. I would have appreciated to find studies, reports certified by independent organizations. The principle is commendable and the idea is really good. Too bad I can't certify the efficiency.

The little cardboard box was opened and half of the beads were floating around in the envelope. 10 beads are enough for 1 liter. We can have 2 bottles to use alternately with these beads. You can use one of these bottles to fill the tank of the coffee machine or a kettle.for the moment, I did not feel any particular taste.
