The Orinko brand offers 30 ceramic beads in a small cardboard box. These pearls allow to purify water, to remove the possible bad taste, and to attenuate the limestone. It's simple and economical: just let them act for about 30 minutes in the water the first time, then refill your carafe and wait at least 10 minutes before using the water! (so get in the habit of filling it in advance), and it works for years. It's super ecological!? I use these ceramic beads in the "table" water jug (which I also use to water the plants)! I put some in the coffee machine tank, in the kettle, and 3 symbolic ones in the water of the fountain of my animals? The ideal for it to work is to put 10 for one liter of water? Frankly, I hope it works! It's not easy to prove (I have the impression that the water is lighter, and it doesn't taste bad)? Anyway it's worth a try, because these are at an interesting price of 15,97 € for 30 pearls, and they last for years, which compensates: it's a long term investment.? The water really tastes better with these pearls, and it is lighter in the mouth. But be careful, it will not make a non-drinkable water drinkable: it's not magic!

I used pearls for the first time a few months ago.I was not at all convinced of the efficiency but the comments seemed very positive.I changed my carafe filter against a dozen pearls ... and the water has indeed found a pleasant taste (as with the carafe, but cheaper!) These pearls are similar to my first and work as well.These pearls are similar to my first ones and work just as well. I have noticed a reduction in the taste of chlorine and a little less limescale deposit. On the other hand, the other allegations (dynamization of water, purification and other pleasures) that we sometimes meet for this type of product (but not for this one), are not based on anything scientific. Even the work of the Japanese Professor Teruo Higa (quoted on the manufacturer's website) could never be confirmed! In any case, these pearls do no harm and cost less than carafes filters, so it's very good, especially since the manufacturer is not stingy with its pearls (32 instead of 30 in the box!)

The properties of charcoal are well known.here we have an ecological and durable filtering solution.the price is a bit high compared to the competition.it can be used for other applications.overnight the water is significantly modified.visible to the taste.we know the multiple properties of charcoal. To conclude, we know the multiple properties of coal. Only the price can make you back off.

Having a very hard tap water, I was able to test the charcoal sticks in cool bottles. No charcoal taste or unpleasant taste. No deposit, I really love it, I was able to replace my plastic bottle purchases by using this.

I use a kettle at work to heat my tea water and other herbal teas every day. The water is rather hard and I don't have easy access to a sink to clean the deposits that inevitably get in the bottom of the kettle. And then I would also have to think about emptying the stagnant water every day! So the bottom of my kettle was full of scale, all white... I cleaned it up as best I could with a simple handkerchief and put in these little porcelain balls that had been washed and dried. Since then, I have not removed them from the device and you can see on the picture that not only does the limescale not settle but it has also made the last remaining residues disappear. No more pieces of limescale that were poured with the water and that I swallowed at the same time as my tea. I am really satisfied with this product.

It is small pearls are really effective then I could explain in therme of taste but already from the first use we saw the difference we had prepared two bottles of water one with ceramic pearls the other without well you feel already the difference sincerely I prefer largely with my pearls the taste and really softened and better my only regret there is not enough pearls as 1l need between 10 and 15 pearls

I am very sensitive to the taste of water and that of my community has a really foul taste of chlorine! I didn't know if these pearls would work and well, they do !!!! I went to the brand's website to get more information, which allowed me to have all the explanations to use these pearls. For one liter of water, it is recommended to use at least 10 pearls in order to have a real efficiency, you have to wait 30 minutes before consuming the water.It's very impressive, no more chlorine taste, I didn't expect that, but I still couldn't drink my tap water because it contains too much pesticide, so I also added carbon filters of the same brand, I don't use plastic bottles anymore and my water is healthy and doesn't taste bad anymore.

Now that I know, it will be difficult to do without these activated charcoal sticksKnowing that charcoal is used in emergency rooms in case of poisoning, its filtering and absorbing properties are no longer to be proven.We don't buy plastic bottles, I find it extremely polluting and we don't have a filter carafe either, but the water in our city is not so good and the environment is quite polluted, so I wanted to try the Binchotan, already knowing that charcoal has many qualities (adds minerals and trace elements, filters chemicals and heavy metals).The only small effort to make is to boil your sticks once a month for 6 months (you can do it in rice or pasta water), in order to purify them again, frankly the calculation is quickly done, you can very well give yourself this little trouble to try to fix things a little bit.Here we have 4 glass water bottles that we can fill as much as we want. The water is really perfect to be drunk 4 hours after filling, so the rotation is practical.and there, there is no photo, if you thought that the water has no taste you are going to be surprised! I have the impression to drink the spring of my grandfather, devoid of chemical tastes. What a pleasure, the difference is obvious! 4 sticks is good, it makes us almost a year of water consumption with carbon, I let you do the calculation but in terms of purchase of water bottles or carafe filters, it is quickly done! No more waste and a real economy. When the carbon stick is no longer effective, it recycles naturally, you can use it for your plants.The little extra of this brand, 1% of the sale price is donated to a reforestation program, what to compensate for carbon emissions related to the transport of sticks (a limited transport compared to that of water packs purchased in trade this-dit) and participate in the fight against deforestation.charcoal is adopted!

I'm a big fan of Binchotan, those special pieces of charcoal that purify tap water. And it really works. The water tastes good, no more chlorine smell, you just have to wait a few hours. I use these, and others, from Japanese oak. I prefer the oak... hard to say, the oak seems more 'powerful'. Otherwise, very happy with these

The use and the life span has already been detailed in the other commentsSome points1/ very good the mini paper doc not to let us down the 1st time we use2/ sometimes we already have filtration systems for viruses and bacteria but the activated carbon systems allow to add 2 things: absorb bad smells and fix heavy metals +/- drugs (they manage chemical pollution and neutrality of the taste but not at all bacterial pollution) They are thus to be used- either in complement of the already drinkable water of your tap (of which you do not like the taste and/or problem of persistent chemical pollution)- or on a water which you already got rid of its germs (virus bacterium) with a passive filter for example (the berkeley etc) or with another method (uv, chemical etc) but without having a carbon filter: it will then be complementaryProduct which comes from far away so ecological cost to be taken into accountEconomic blow also if it is used on the long term: for those which do not know it, if it is only chlorine which disturbs you, to let rest water before drinking it is enough to drive out the taste of it, not needing carbon or other carafes so-called filtering

I had discovered this process of "water purification" at a friend's house, and with this pack of 6 activated carbons, we are prepared for all eventualities... because in practice, we have to get used to prepare our water "in advance", so that the purification takes place slowly, in about 8 hours (for example, I prepare 2 carafes in the evening to use them the next day) - the idea is to have several in order to be able to rotate them, so with these 6 carbons, we are well equipped. It is the most ecological water filtration system I know, and I am very happy to be able to make a small gesture for the planet? No particular taste or aspect to note after filtration. You will also have to take care to plunge them in boiling water before the first use to activate them, then to regenerate them. Guaranteed effect with your guests?

I have been using ceramic beads in the water tank of my coffee machine for some time now and I am very satisfied with them. I am now considering using them in the isothermal carafe that I use daily for my drinking water, the only small problem is to be careful not to pour the pearls into the glass when serving yourself a drink.

These ceramic beads work very well. I use them mainly for my tea machine and my coffee machine to neutralize limescale. Until now, I used a limestone filter, I now only use these beads and I am satisfied. I have put fifteen of them in the bottom of each tank and indeed I have almost no traces of limescale.on the other hand the delivery is to be reviewed, the pearls were loose at the bottom of the envelope with the open cardboard box. And above all it lacked a small fabric bag to allow use in the dishwasher.it's a bit of a shame! Interesting quality-price ratio given the number of pearlsDimension of the pearls: length 12 mm, diameter 9 mm, inner diameter 3 mm

I am very surprised by this product, because I have been looking for an alternative to plastic toothbrushes for some time. In this pack there are 18 sticks of Siwak. This can last a very long time because each stick is reusable, when the fibers are a little damaged we cut and again we can use it.The smell is a little surprising at first but you get used to it very quickly.I agree with them when the fact that this stick gives fresh breath

I knew about these "pearls" in aquarium filters, but I had never dwelled on the subject until a few months ago. I have an electric kettle and had to descale it with white vinegar very - too - regularly. Then I tried the beads. And then it was a revelation: I only descale very occasionally. I really appreciate it. So I put pearls in the tank of my coffee machine. It hasn't been in there long enough to be sure of the effectiveness, but I don't really have any doubts. It can only extend the life of the machine. And that's when I say to myself, "But why didn't I think of this sooner?".15,97€ so far for 30 pearls (32 actually in my package).
