Customer reviews of Orinko

Compliant, but it still hurts a little ^^

I used to use bamboo charcoal in my carafe, but this product, which is more reputable, differs only slightly:- smaller sticks, so easier to use even in a narrow container- comparable price- much more solid. It's interesting because it avoids having bits of charcoal lying around at the bottom of the carafe- as efficient, but not more so- the fact that it comes from the other side of the world takes away a lot of ecology, especially since there's no shortage of oak in France (but does it have the same properties?) In the end, it works, the water is much better, but ecologically it's not great and at 200€ per kilo, it's a good deal! (fortunately, charcoal for barbecue is cheaper [and maybe as efficient ? we should try ...] !)

Following the rave reviews and my research, I think this is the most ecological and economical solution to consume filtered and dynamized water. When it comes to the taste, I am not so sure because I feel a certain aftertaste. However I heated them 10 min in boiling water as indicated...

Very good for the water which does not taste bad anymore

Good value for money

I weighed each stick: one weighs 23 grams, the others between 29 and 31 grams and the heaviest one is 36 grams.Therefore, I think the thinnest one (23 g) will last only 4 months, while the biggest one will last 7 months.In total, such a purchase is made to last 2.5 years (at the rate of two sticks per year).I boil the stick for 20 minutes before the first use, and I renew EVERY MONTH (I put an alarm in my phone).In addition to the treatment with the BICHOTAN charcoal, I also use the porcelain beads.I have a water tester, and indeed, letting it rest for 4 or 8 hours decreases the concentration of minerals (or metals) contained in the water.the water of my carafe loses its smell of chlorine, it's more pleasant.On the other hand, on the price side, taking into account the raw material, I find this product very expensive (29 euros), even if it's only 1 euro per month, it's only charcoal, it's not a precious product, so the price is exaggerated, it should be even more affordable.

Product not too bad, reduces well the deposit of limestone concerning me, well to follow the indications in the back of the packaging.

Good but breaks quickly because a little too thin. 15cm high, 0,5cm thick and 1cm wide.

Perfect for what I wanted

Used to purify waterEasy to use but breaks easily

For very practical daily, easy to use, to test on the length but should largely replace the cotton swabs.

Received on time, packaging ok

True to the description.

The sticks are well packaged, thin enough to fit in a small neck, the water has a neutral taste. I recommend it.

Diameter a bit large for a Brita type decanter. Efficient.

I did not know that it had such a particular smell.

Packed with care and very good product

Delivery time respected. Article conforms (Oriculi in bamboo by 6), with the exception of the assortment of the colors (received yellow in double and not blue).

Validated product changes the taste of the water in 1 or 2 hours. I don't have to go out and buy water packs anymore. I highly recommend it for those who like to drink a lot of water!

the article corresponds to my expectations,

Fast delivery. Easy to use.

Very good product, but the diameyre is very large, does not pass in an empty glass bottle of fruit juice

The items are accompanied by a very detailed notice. Very good

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!

Much softer linen very good.

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

Product not yet tested...

ITEM CONFORMS TO THE SELLER'S DESCRIPTION

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!

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.

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

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 :)
