We have been using the full Binchotan for my son's gourd and ours for several years now. We bought Takesumi Binchotan and ceramic beads. After receiving the package, we put it to work with the ceramic beads. The full Bichotan is efficient but the Takesumi is even more efficient. Effective after 2 hours and even more if you leave the Takesumi 4 hours. Tap water is much softer. I would like to point out that the hardness of the water in our department is high. I use for 1 carafe with a capacity of 1?600?ml, 15 ceramic beads and 1,5 Takesumi. Much cheaper than the reference brand B!. in use, even if the Takesumi can be broken during handling. The Takesumi is more fragile but we find it more efficient than the full Binchotan. To note: Fast delivery. Upon opening, 1 Binchotan broke in two and another one broke in 3 pieces on the purchase of 3 boxes. Perhaps Orinko should provide bubble wrap around the round boxes. After sending an email, Orinko responded quickly with a new box to compensate for the breakage.

I find this product good because the water tastes better. However, what bothers me is that there are small black residues in the bottom of the pitcher, so it's a little embarrassing. Received very well packaged and quickly. Conforms to the description and the picture.

I am a fan of these activated carbons since the day I banned plastic bottles from my life. easy to use, these sticks allow me to purify the tap water, which is very hard at home, and to obtain a water that is really better to the taste but also to the mind. I try to contribute, in my own way, to save the environment and to avoid ingurgitating metals and other junk food

Bjr, I have been using bamboo charcoal for 5 months. My house is supplied by a well in 2014 when I arrived, I had the well water tested. Nitrites: 0,5 Nitrates: 42,68. In August I had the bamboo filtered water analyzed Nitrites: 0.01 Nitrates: 29.04. I am delighted with the result and I recommend this product.

1 stick = 6 months of use. 6 sticks = 3 years = 29,99€ (at this time). The only constraint: boil the stick every month for 10 minutes. This is the way to avoid hundreds of plastic bottles. We don't use water bottles, we use a Br-ta carafe but filters are polluting consumables and we wanted to find a solution to go further in our ecological approach while continuing to filter the tap water because it is not always very good. So, since we are convinced (charcoal is well known for its filtration qualities, whether for aquariums or others, and the difference in taste is obvious some days), we are going to finish the 2 Br-ta cartridges we have left and then we will switch exclusively to Binchotan charcoals. We received sticks of different diameters and some are quite large, which does not make it easier to pass through the bottle ... This is the only drawback. But I found a bottle that accepts some sticks that are not too wide: "DEAR-AY Sport Water Bottle in Borosilicate Glass". Positive point: the company has a "???????????????????? ?????????'??????????????????????????: 1% of the sale price of your charcoal is donated to our REFORESTATION PROGRAM with our partner NGO. "A good discovery!

My family has adopted these pearls! You can really feel the difference with the tap water that we usually consume.there is no more this flavor of limestone, chlorine or any other product that can be found when we take water directly from the tap.I will also use them to descale my kettle because as I could read they are also beneficial to descale and to preserve longer appliances from limescale.these pearls are real allies for appliances, plants...

My family has adopted these beads! You can really feel the difference with the tap water you usually drink. There is no more of that chalky, chlorine or other flavor that can be found when we usually take water directly from the tap. It's a real pleasure to drink our water and to offer it to guests. It is up to me now to think about preparing our water a little earlier and I still have to get suitable containers. I am delighted with this first discovery! I will continue to use them to descale my kettle because, as I have read, they are also good for descaling and keeping appliances free of scale for longer. I can see that I still have a lot of great discoveries to make with these pearls and that they will be real allies for my appliances, my plants, my food...

I really like these binchotan activated charcoal sticks.I had already bought some in bamboo and not in oak like these ones and it's really efficient! So of course, these sticks are supposed to remineralize the water and bring a lot of nutrients and it's something I can hardly verify.But clearly, as far as water purification is concerned, it works very well. I have tap water that is quite hard and has a strong taste. After 4 hours (ideally 8 hours, to be left overnight in a carafe), the water doesn't taste like tap water at all.compared to the ones I had, the sticks here are smaller and are given for a filtration up to 1L, I confirm.In short, rather than buying bottled water, it's a solution that I like a lot, especially since charque charbon offers up to 6 months of filtration, so one bag can last quite a long time 🙂

First of all, I would like to point out that the water in my house is very hard.Strong points :- ecological and natural- simple and easy preparation (10min in boiling water, and personally I rinse the charcoal before putting it in the water carafe)- takes little space- effectively softened water, especially at room temperature- long duration (6 months) so economical compared to filtering carafes where the filter only lasts one month- can give a nice decorative effect in the carafeWeak points :- anticipate at least 4h before being able to taste purified water (they indicate at least 4h for a good water and at least 8h for an excellent water)- the carbon can come out of the carafe if you pour it with little water in it- the carbon can make noise by moving in a carafe not very full

The carbon filters the water well. It becomes softer for sure. Only negative point: the fact of having to make manipulations to make it active (boiling) and its long time of action (8h).article that I recommend nevertheless.

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.

It's been more than 2 years now that I stopped buying bottled water. I was not familiar with this brand but when I saw that it was a French brand I wanted to try them. They are half the price of the ones I used to buy and twice as big, so as always, you have to boil them for 10 minutes every month for 3 months.

6 sticks of genuine Japanese Binchotan activated charcoal about 9 cm long and 3 cm in diameter, well wrapped individually in tissue paper.Before the 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, no matter if it is made of glass, stainless steel or clay, and always use drinking water, such as tap water. The charcoal is fragile and can break, but this does not detract from its properties.The charcoal is fragile and can break, but this does not take away from its properties. The charcoal is re-boiled every month to clean and reactivate it, so it has a life of 6 months.the ideal is to prepare several bottles to have always one ready to consume.after that we put it in the compost or use it as a natural deodorizer in the closets, refrigerators ...Perfect to filter the water of heavy metals, chemicals, remineralize, bring trace elements, gives a neutral taste to the water and avoid buying water in plastic bottle.Only positive points! Notice in French and in English stuck on the envelope which contains the sticks of coal.

I use it to purify water and it is a good compromise. It avoids me to buy bottled water which is treated, there I have the feeling to have purified water with a natural product. The water does not have any taste of chlorine and other products. So I am totally delighted with this product and I recommend it.

Used in bottled water, the taste is very good (no more bad taste residues in tap water).Used in coffee pot with white beads: the limestone dissolves and does not reappear! It's perfect for coffee makers and electric kettles.solid (hot water, cold water).On the other hand, I can't test the effect on chemical or metal residues, you have to believe the manufacturer...

It is completely clear and the charcoal is supposed to filter the heavy metals and chemical products.It is beneficial for the health because it releases minerals and trace elements.on the other hand has no effect against limestone.it's been 2 months that I use this way of purifying my water and I could notice the difference of taste with the water to recover directly to the tap which at home to a light taste javélisée...

I use it in my water pitcher. You have to follow the instructions (boil for 10 minutes every month) and then I regularly refill my pitcher so that there is always pure and filtered water throughout the day. The fact that a percentage of the purchase price is donated to the reforestation of the Amazon is a big plus.There are 6 sticks in the package, I use 2 at the same time, at the rate of 6 months of use, I have 1 and a half years of pure water: very good value for money and savings on plastic water bottles.
