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).

Ceramic beads soften tap water by reducing limescale and removing the taste of chlorine. I have been using them for a long time in my kettle and I have been able to eliminate plastic bottles by simply putting a few pearls in a carafe. These ceramic pearls are really effective in neutralizing the smell and taste of chlorine and limescale deposits. The water is healthier and more "alive".

I received to test ceramic pearls of the brand Orinko. These beads are fired at very high temperatures and contain a micro-organism that reduces the level of limescale in the water. I found this information and much more by downloading very easily the ebook proposed by the manufacturer. Very easy, you just have to scan the QR code and give your name and email address.In the box is a short notice, you have to boil the beads for 10 minutes before using them. Then you can place them in various places to reduce the lime content and fight its harmful effects on the containers.I have applied for a few days the advice given by placing them in the kettle, the water carafe, the water tank of the coffee machine, a watering can and a water can of large capacity for the water trough of our chickens (I wish in the long run to avoid the greening of the water as well).I count 15 small pearls per liter of water because our water is hard. All the pearls are used but the manufacturer indicates that the life span is very long if we revitalize them! I note at the level of the kettle much less limestone deposited, I waited 15 uses before putting back vinegar. The lime really holds much less. As far as the water carafe is concerned, it replaces my Brita filter and it tastes just as good! As for the other uses, it's still a bit early to give my full opinion, but the manufacturer says that in the watering can it's good for the plants thanks to the micro-organism, so it's a less expensive solution to get rid of the chore of cleaning the limestone and to remove the bad taste of the tap water. I like it a lot and I'm going to buy some again to test the use in the dishwasher! ??????

These Japanese activated carbons purify water in a very simple way: you clean them in boiling water, then you put them in the carafe where they can stay for a month, the water keeps the same taste, and the carbon absorbs the impurities.

Natural toothbrush that cleans and disinfects in depth the teeth.I use for a while these sticks and I am very satisfied with the result.My teeth are even whiter than before and are all smooth.Natural, disinfectant, based on vitamin C, I strongly advise you to try you'll love.Use very simple, just chew the stick until the fibers appear and then start brushing.Practical when we are often outside no more excuse for not brushing teeth

I am delighted with these beads that have been used for a long time and that allow you to drink tap water while eliminating the taste of chlorine and not only that, studies have shown that the beads reduce the presence of chlorine, limestone, nitrates and ammonium and help to rebalance the pH of the water, while reducing the growth of pathogenic bacteria and reducing chemical elements such as nitrogen, phosphate and sulfate.It is ecological and economic because they last all the life.Received 32 instead of 30 pieces in a small cardboard box.The pearls measure 11 mm X 9 mm in diameter.Before any use place them 10 mn in boiling water and make it dry.It is necessary to count 10 to 15 pearls / liter, one can leave them all the time with a minimum of 10 minutes so that it is effective.They are pearls, then attention to the small children!.An e-book offered by scanning the QR code on the box, I did not look for!

For a long time now, I have eliminated disposable plastic bottles from my daily life.In my region, the water is very hard, I used to use a carafe filter, but the design of the filters posed a problem: they are bulky, expensive, and above all... plastic + disposable!!! These ceramic beads allow a 100% ecological alternative to this practice.How many to put? How to use them? I did my personal research on the net, here is what I found: The pearls intervene directly on the structure of the water to make it purer. They are composed of a clay enriched with micro-organisms. The 80 strains they contain eliminate chlorine, limestone and most of the harmful residues contained in tap water. Then, they can be left permanently in the bottom of the water, topping up as you go along. The ideal is to have two carafes, one being activated with the pearls while you drink the other.Contrary to the charcoal filters of the carafes which store the residues, these pearls do not require any maintenance and their life expectancy is unlimited. These pearls thus make it possible to improve the taste and the quality of the tap water but in no case to make healthy a non-drinking water (of river for example).Compared to the solution of the carbon bamboos, I like the unlimited character in the time, thus more economic.The other uses of the ceramic pearls are numerous:- to filter naturally the water of the aquarium- to descale the small household appliances: kettle, coffeepot, water-heater... To maintain daily and avoid the deposit of scale in your kettle, coffee pot or water heater, keep continuously 12 ceramic beads inside - preserve more durably the food as well as the bouquets of flowers - clean the toilets - reduce the cleaning products used in the washing machine and the dishwasher.Well, after all that, I am convinced, hyper convinced even.

These ceramic beads are very effective against limescale, it is easy to see that.as you must before the first use boil them in water for 10 minutes, I use a black pot and when it is boiling, I put the beads for the time indicated.after 10 minutes, I remove the beads to let them dry.I then note the extent of limescale deposited in the pot and around.Take the same clean pan, put cold water, put the pearls at the bottom (10 or 15 for 1 liter), for 10 minutes, remove the pearls and boil the water, and then, before your astonished eyes, you will notice that there is no trace of limestone in the pan !!!!For chlorine odors it's the same, 10 minutes in the water and no more odors or bad taste. I put it in the tank of my coffee maker is effective, but I have not yet tested in the dishwasher, but it should work.

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.

Very efficient, the Orinko ceramic beads are the first ones I used more than a year ago, and I'm delighted because to this day they still haven't moved.it's a much easier product to use than filters or carbon-based sticks, which have a much shorter life span.It is an excellent product, which is deposited directly at the bottom of a carafe and / or a tank of electric machine (coffee machine, central steam, ...), to purify and soften the water contained. The water treated in this way is very good to drink, it keeps all its qualities and taste intact.As for the tanks of the machines, the pearls will act directly on the limestone and thus avoid any deposit of tartar, which in the long term tends to disturb their good functionings.they can be used also in its refrigerator to preserve the fruits and vegetables longer, it is enough for that to simply deposit them at the bottom of the vegetable tray.This box contains a total of 80 pearls, which is more than enough to equip several carafes, a coffee machine, a central steamer, a kettle and the crisper.with an exceptional value for money, I highly recommend these Orinko pearls.

Batch of 80 pearls to soften the tap water. After 15 days of use of these pearls the result is satisfactory.they really improve the taste of water by removing that of chlorine and lime depositsWithout filters and without chemicals these pearls made from clay neutralize the lime deposits of your gourds and your kettles.10 pearls are enough for 1l of water and the saving on the purchase of filters is not negligible.to use the eyes closed.Do not use with non-drinking water!

It's quite simple, since I discovered these things, I only use them. I never trusted plastic filter cartridges, but frankly, besides the result (clean water with no aftertaste, neutral ph), one stick lasts for six months. It's simple and very effective.

I am quite satisfied with my purchase. The bag contains 4 sticks of Binchotan. It turns out that they are authentic, to do the test, just tap 2 sticks to hear a metallic noise. The yellow sticker proves its authenticity, the water loses the taste of tap water (limestone and chlorine) without removing all the nutrients because the binchotan releases nutrients good and necessary for our health.I just think it's a pity that the 3 sticks are not of similar sizes: There are 2 sticks of size M and one very small one (more adapted to a bottle of 1L rather than 1l5). To reactivate it, boil it in water during 15 minutes, as soon as you feel that the water loses in quality.

Very nice discovery.not knowing much about the use of white charcoal.As for the use, it is very simple. You just have to boil the stick 10 minutes before the first use, then renew it once a month.the rest of the time, you just have to leave the charcoal in the carafe and put water in it.I have to say that the result has bluffed me. Indeed, I did not think that it would have a real impact on the taste of the water and yet, it is the case. My tap water doesn't taste very good but with these charcoal sticks, the unpleasant taste goes away directly, making the water taste very good. Each stick should last 6 months. Each stick should last for 6 months, so with this batch of 6 sticks, you can last 3 years.be careful, for a real effect, you have to let the stick infuse for a minimum of 4 hours and a maximum of 8 hours. Personally I leave it 8 hours in order not to have any more bad taste.

I found tap water undrinkable and hated the taste of water filtered in a brita, I was surprised. Tap water not only loses its chemical taste but also takes on the taste of spring water. I never drink spring water anymore and drink at least one liter of filtered water every day. I filter 1,5l in a glass bottle during 4h and it's perfect. Be careful not to leave it too long, otherwise the water takes on a slight charcoal taste.

Ceramic pearls that improve the quality of water.we are used to drink tap water usually we have a carafe filter, but the water is very hard in our town.so in addition to the filter already existing in my carafe filter I added 10 pearls to the tank to eliminate any trace of limestone and possibly chlorine.I must say that I am delighted with the result, I put the pearls in the tank I filled with water, waited 30 minutes we are really the water does not have the same taste.there are also less traces of limestone in the tank we will be able to continue to consume tap water without worry.Very good value for money for the batch of 80 pearls.
