Customer reviews of Orinko

I used the beads in my kettle and coffee maker reservoir, it works great, I have no more limescale or scale.However, I wanted to put my beads with the fabric bag that came in my washing machine and the fabric broke, the fabric is not strong enough. I'm going to sew it up but it's a shame.

Perfect

I bought the ceramic pearls in order to discover this new product.the returns being still a little weak on internet I decided to test by myself.the pearls arrive in a small bag I used the pearls in my water carafe, in the tank of the coffeemaker and in the kettle.The taste of the water is really different I live in a city where the tap water is very chlorinated and the taste is no longer there after putting the pearls.For the coffee maker and the kettle the pearls do not remove the limestone but the deposit and the white traces are almost non-existent.I am convinced and I will repurchase some.

Received 79 but not 80 as indicated!

The tap water has a slight taste of softened water. I am delighted with my purchase

Very pleasant to use

I only use a carafe of 1 liter, I would have expected sticks of + or - 40 gr ... out of 5 sticks: 1 of 85 grams (huge) + 2 of medium size and 2 very small ... I confess to be very disappointed by these differences in weight ...! Wouldn't it be possible to have slices closer to the customer's needs...? Otherwise, delivery is rather fast...!

These charcoals are easy to use, you just have to plunge them in a pan of boiling water to remove the scales for more efficiency. Then you have to put one in a carafe of water and let it act during 4 hours.

These charcoals are easy to use, you just have to plunge them in a pot of boiling water to remove the scales for more efficiency, then I plunge one of them in a jug of water and let it act for 4 hours and finally I can use this filtered water either to cook or to prepare various drinks. The charcoal is known to filter impurities from the water but to check it you need to have in your possession a water tester ppm to test the water before and after.

It is a product that no longer has to prove its effectiveness. But is that a reason for it to be so expensive? Of course, you will pay for it by not having to carry out the chore of water packs. It probably balances everyone's budget.

a brief instruction manual would be appreciated.

I was already familiar with the principle of activated carbon to purify tap water, having used it extensively. Until then, I used long enough sticks that I could put in a water carafe without any problem, but now, the sticks are not so long but they are much too thick for me to put them in my water carafe, so I have to split them in two or even in three, which is far from being easy. It's a pity.

FAST SHIPPING

On the photo the glass on the left is the witness, a water taken out of the tap at the same time as that of the carafe but left rested.On the photo the glass on the right, a water taken out of the carafe the next morning after one night with the stick.a visual difference the bubbles in the bottom of the glass, the taste also which disappears and to finish the water is clearer.an effective stick but which remains rather expensive for only 6 months of effectiveness (1 per month)

well

Very practical and ecological, I love it so much that I ordered it again for my brother-in-law.

I used to use oak charcoal, and tried bamboo charcoal, but it doesn't last as long as oak charcoal, it's very fragile and leaves traces of charcoal in the water, so I went back to oak charcoal, which lasts longer.

Remains expensive but conforms

Products conform well packaged and received quickly nothing to complain about

This product is quite fascinating because you can filter water with a much better yield than with traditional cartridges. On the other hand, filtration takes longer (3 hours recommended!) and the rod must be boiled before using it. I still recommend this product, for example when using a water bottle.

The smell of the earth is quite surprising but the water is soft and apart from this small smell the water has no aftertaste

as described, the chlorine taste disappears but I am not a chemical analyzer to guarantee the effectiveness

Not obvious when you have always used a toothbrush but you get used to it quickly. Very pleasant taste. The wood is soft and gentle. Super to massage the gums gently. Explanations use on the box. The sticks are individually wrapped. I recommend because it is a really healthy and natural product.

Easy to put in place, the bamboo stick breaks quite easily in the carafe but it is not too annoying. The water is much more pleasant to the taste and does not have the disadvantage of making us swallow plastic particles like bottled water.

After boiling it as instructed for 10 minutes, I compared it after several hours to the taste of tap water which doesn't have much. The difference is very slight and I would have a hard time recommending these coals to purify water.

product conforms to the expectations. A small advice however, before use it is necessary to pierce the tube so that the water circulates normally inside and also to avoid that the tube floats, which harms the effectiveness.

Good for kids, not so good for adults. Obviously, children don't do it by themselves. I find the tip a little thin compared to the one I had in metal.

Beautiful packaging. Contractual. However with the use, the water always seems the same. In relation to another charcoal bought in organic store (three times more expensive), it does not seem to purify anything! I remain doubtful about its real benefits... I would not buy again from this brand.

I find them a little thin and light, when the taste I have not noticed any difference

Product conforms, the water tastes good. I highly recommend it to get rid of the plastic bottles.

Charcoal already removes the odors of rancid rainwater. So it's not surprising that the activated charcoal here is effective in filtering tap water.

I admit that I was a little skeptical, but finally it works.Before the first use, you will have to boil it, then wait a good ten minutes before putting it in a water carafe. Wait then between 4 and 8 hours.the first ones, we don't feel too much the difference, but after a month, and after a second passage in the kettle, indeed, the taste is not the same one as with the one of the tap.On the other hand, no, it is not really effective against the limestone.I use the water filtered with this charcoal for my kettle and, even if I have to clean it a little less often, there is still limestone that settles.6 months life stick, to be boiled every month.Correct price (6 sticks, 3 years of use).The sticks are biodegradable, if you have a compost you can put them in.1In short, a nice discovery.

Interesting product, the sticks are fragile and break easily

I find this product good because the water tastes better. On the other hand, what bothers me is that there are small black residues in the bottom of the pitcher, so it's a little embarrassing.

I try this product to have a healthier water -

I have the impression that the use is Ok even if you can find some coal powder in the bottom of the carafe

Very good, the product seems to meet my expectations...see in time
