Clear and pure water great product
The idea was interesting but I find this system a bit dangerous. The wood is very hard and in spite of a curved shape at the end, it risks to touch the eardrum. It's a pity.
Fast and careful shipping, very available customer service. I recommend it with my eyes closed!
For the price of 30 euros, two sticks are necessary per year, which for this batch of 6 comes to only 10 euros per year. It is true that for simple white charcoal from Japan, the purchase price may seem expensive, but over time, it may be quite profitable. Don't forget the kilometers that this wood travels to get to us. It's good that the manufacturer gives back to the Amazonian forest, but it's still necessary that they replant trees instead of burning them. For the filtration of water, it's as said by the other consumers: we boil for 10 minutes, we filter during the night preferably by letting the water rest, we sterilize every month by reboiling the stick. And so on for 6 months of treated water, that's why the 6-pack will last three years. It is very expensive for the raw material (charcoal) so I wonder if it works the same way with a BBQ charcoal.

Product conforms, impeccable, received very quickly
I find this product just great! The stem is big enough, and it's easy to wash after use. I am very happy with it.
Works great to remove the taste of tap water

Good quality charcoal, does not burn, good weight, 2 charcoal for 2 liters of water is perfect, we will recommend without hesitation
It is clearly one of my discoveries of the year, so much so that I offer it to my entourage with water carafes. It is really excellent! Fill your carafe in the evening, put a charcoal in the carafe and the next day you have a purified water and eliminated its bad taste and impurities and enriched in minerals!If this last part is difficult to verify (removal of toxic components present in the water and mineral enrichment), although we all know the filtering properties of charcoal, one thing is easily verifiable: the taste and very clearly, the water loses its bad taste of tap water! In addition, these sticks of charcoal have a long life: 6 months each! You just have to think about boiling them every month. In short, it's ecological and economical! Don't hesitate to invest in 2 carafes, it allows you to always have a carafe at your disposal.I hope that this little feedback will be useful to you, don't hesitate to indicate it, I recommend it!
Perfect
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...!
This little tool marks the end of cotton swabs! On the one hand, cotton swabs are not recommended for ear cleaning as they push dirt inside and only clean the contours superficially. Here is the solution to solve these two problems without any inconvenience: these curved bamboo stems allow you to remove the wax from your ears like a "rake" in a way. It's easy to get the hang of. It's not the same as the cotton swab of course, and you have to be precise and meticulous in your gestures. But be assured: you don't need a surgeon's hand, the swabs are clean and reusable. And colored tips allow each member of the family to recognize his or her own stem.In conclusion: delighted. Highly recommended. And no inconvenience found.
It is an excellent product, contains 18 sticks, very effective
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.
Perfect!
These pieces of Japanese activated carbon are a very efficient and economical way to purify tap water and make it more pleasant to drink. The calculation is simple: 6 pieces and 6 months each, that's 3 years. For 29,99 euros, it is really a bargain. The only problem is that you have to boil each piece for the first use, which is no big deal. It's really something to try...
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.
Excellent product to purify tap waterPerfect for carafes
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.
Having tested many soaps of Aleppo I can tell you the quality is there. This product is consistent with a soap of Aleppo with all the good natural ingredients it contains.leaves the skin soft, the solid soap is a habit to take. Do not forget to moisturize after each shower.
No more plastic bottles in the garbage.
I compared the color of my tap water between: the color of the water coming out of my tap put in a glass and the same water with the sticks in a carafe for 8 hours. I can say that it works because the water became much clearer with the sticks and moreover the taste of the water is better. I will consume a much purer water of the blow but not completely pure and fortunately, because a very purified water is not good for health because it does not bring anything any more.
Product well packaged and quickly delivered
I am amazed that the tap water is excellent with this charcoal. I have a very good result in terms of flavor after approximately 7 to 8 hours, less plastic to recycle so everything is ok.
Fast shipping, RAS
I had started to limit the purchase of bottled water in stores but now I have no reason to buy any more.activated carbon is quite well known in water treatment and I know its efficiency, that's why I gave my trust directly to this product. I was afraid that the charcoal would release particles into the water, which can be the case with poor quality activated charcoal, but I am fully satisfied! A batch of 6 carbons with a life span of 6 months, enough to last 3 years for this price! You can't expect better. A good water purifier to clean before the first use and to clean every month at the top.in addition to its physical qualities, it is a full process 0 waste which is implemented with the sale of this product. Indeed, 1% of the sales are given to a reforestation program in order to compensate the emissions linked to the transport of the products. A neutral carbon footprint because after use, the activated carbon can be recycled in several ways as natural fertilizer! It's more than a purchase but a service!
After letting the charcoal stick boil for 10 minutes in water, it is usable.Before boiling it, I had soot on my fingers (you can see it on the picture). It is recommended to boil it every month (to clean it).but once in the carafe . No more soot.The sticks are massive and quite heavy.The water is effectively filtered. It no longer smells like bleach. The taste is reduced and more neutral.I find it practical in a large carafe.I would see with time for the limestone.I think to put a stick in the kettle too, I would see.An ecological way to filter water.
Super
We have here authentic pieces of charcoal and it is obvious at first glance.These 6 sticks of charcoal are in a reclosable kraft paper bag inside which they are folded individually.Of variable size, they can be slipped into a bottle with a neck of at least 3 cm.These pieces of charcoal allow to filter the tap water and to add minerals.Before the first use it is advised to put a piece 10 mn in boiling water. This step is to be renewed approximately every month. Each stick can be used for 6 months, so each package will be useful for up to 36 months.from the holm oak forests of the Japanese region of Kishu, this charcoal is packaged in France.
In my old house, I have spring water to avoid possible problems (even if tests are made every month), I have installed devices for water filtration with charcoal I have been using for years the Binchotan Activated Carbon: and the result is perfect: my water is perfect with a perfect Ph.This carbon is perfect and the price is quite correct
A brief instruction manual would be appreciated.
Used in glass water bottles (2 sticks for 1L) and used in the water tank of a Nespresso coffee machine (also 2 sticks)
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.
Package in good condition, package containing the Siwaks opened, before opening by me: but the individual packaging of the Siwaks was well and truly "sous-vide" and hermetically closed, DELIVERY CONFORMED, and fast. Customer satisfaction on my part, as it was the case very often with Amazon. Happy Holidays to all your employees. Sincerely
6 sticks of genuine Japanese Binchotan activated charcoal, about 11 cm long and 3 cm in diameter, individually wrapped in tissue paper.Before first use, boil the charcoal in water for 10 minutes, renewing the water once or twice.Gently place the charcoal in a pitcher, carafe or wide-mouthed bottle, whether made of glass, stainless steel or clay. It should always be used with drinking water such as tap water.The charcoal is fragile and can break, but this does not detract from its properties.The charcoal is re-boiled every month to clean and reactivate it, so it has a shelf life of 6 months.The ideal is to prepare several bottles to always have one ready to consume.Perfect to filter water of heavy metals, chemicals, remineralize, bring trace elements, gives a neutral taste to water and avoid buying water in plastic bottle.Only positive points! Notice in French and English stuck on the kraft envelope which contains the sticks of coal.
