The packaging of the box was perfect. But the protection of each coal, was very limited, just wrapped in a thin paper.out of the 3, there is one that arrived broken. They look very very fragile. I have a doubt if it will last in time.

It softens the taste of the water and it is unequivocal. Only I haven't really tested its filtration power to be totally sure so I can't put 5 on 5.

Very good product but it would be more interesting to have a material a little more flexible to go in the ear because it is not very pleasant.

Although it says that the stick sizes can vary, there were 4 very small sticks out of the 6, including 2 tiny ones. Instead of one stick per liter of water, you have to use 3! The efficiency of water purification is not obvious either, the water keeps an aftertaste even after 24 hours at rest.

It seems to be effective but you need time... and a little disturbing sensation (scratching in the ear is a place you never scratch)

I have been using these sticks for 2 years and I find that the quality is decreasing. The sticks break at the first use and it is not practical to go and get the pieces at the bottom of the jar....

I thought I could reduce the chlorine taste but unfortunately it is too strong. I am in one of the regions of France where it is the strongest... too bad because the concept is good.

I tested these ceramic pearls which are supposed to improve the quality of water and reduce limescale.I followed the instructions before using them, that is to say, boil the pearls in boiling water for 10 minutes and then dry them.I then divided them into two packages, one that I put in my kettle and the other in the water tank of my coffee pod maker.After a few weeks, it seems to me that the water of my kettle is of better quality but there is still some scale at the bottom of the tank, despite the pearls.As far as the coffee maker is concerned, I didn't have until now the red indicator light indicating that it is necessary to descale the coffee maker.To see in the time if these pearls are really effective, that is to say when my coffee maker will ask to be descaled.

At the time I had had them much cheaper than now I would not take them back due to the current price I had paid only 12e they do the job but they are far too fragile after a while it ends in small pieces

I didn't like it at all.it's very difficult to reach all the areas of the mouth and it wears out quickly.moreover we end up with pieces that go around the tongue.it's without toothpaste. I can't get used to it. It reminds me too much of those of animals.

I found the good taste of siwak that I used to buy in Algeria a long time ago.length and shape of the sticks conform.small downside as to the thickness against.unpacking the product I was surprised to see the sticks wet, 2 to 3 days later when their diameter was divided by two by drying I understood why they had been moistened.I find the process very limited for siwaks to 2 € per unit.

Not to be confused with classic biochatan, here it is hollow bamboo, it remains a good value for money, but you should not expect the same quality as the classic

I chose these ceramic beads to improve the taste of my tap water, which is particularly chlorinated. You just have to put a dozen beads in 1 liter of water for 30 minutes to 1 hour to get a much better taste. Indeed, it seems to work. The pearls are indestructible and they slightly remove the chlorinated taste of water. The concern for me lies more in the difficulty of putting the pearls on and taking them off rather than in the effectiveness. Let me explain: the pearls come in a small cardboard box, without a muslin bag or tweezers. Slipping them into a carafe for 30 minutes is more complicated than it seems because there is no suitable container. For the moment I use my tea infuser, but I am not very satisfied with this process. I don't want to use plastic, so I'm thinking of looking for tea filters maybe, to solve the problem of moving the beads. Otherwise, I would like to know if leaving the beads in the water carafe all the time is a problem?

At first I was happy with the product but it is difficult to remove the coating and the bristles are very very hard I made wounds on my gums although I do not press at all.

I discovered the existence of ceramic beads thanks to Orinko. After surfing a little, I found some reassuring information about the company. It is French and located in Strasbourg. Its objective is to propose solutions to consume healthy water while preserving nature and resources, and to donate funds to fight against deforestation. It is a committed company.These pearls are proposed to: - remove the bad taste of tap water, - reduce limescale deposits, - balance the pH.The objective is to use less plastic bottles in particular.I deplore the lack of notice. I like others had to search on the website Orinko.Before any use, be sure to plunge the pearls 10 minutes in boiling water and to let them dry.Then, the principle is simple, it is enough to place the pearls in a carafe, to put water and to let act 30 min at least (or 10 min according to the site).10 to 15 pearls are necessary to filter a liter of water.Level of effectiveness, it is hard to decide. I can't make tests to measure and check the composition of the water. I would have appreciated to find studies, reports certified by independent organizations. The principle is commendable and the idea is really good. Too bad I can't certify the efficiency.

I followed the protocol of use to the letter I put 15 pearls in a bottle of drinking water from the tap of 1 liter after a rest of at least 15 minutes, the drink is ready.the water has a taste of earth and sand: yuck! While the tap water is very good, without aftertaste of any kind.as for the use in my crisper? ditto, it does not prevent vegetables and fruits from ripening too quicklyPerso, I do not recommend

The little cardboard box was opened and half of the beads were floating around in the envelope. 10 beads are enough for 1 liter. We can have 2 bottles to use alternately with these beads. You can use one of these bottles to fill the tank of the coffee machine or a kettle.for the moment, I did not feel any particular taste.

I admit that I wanted to try absolutely and what a disappointment!!! First of all this taste of wood in the mouth I hate and moreover I insisted on my teeth and I have the impression that they are not cleaned..........In the family nobody wants to try so I do not know other reactions!

Not convinced... We live in a region where the water is not really hard, so it's hard to say if these ceramic beads are effective on hardness... On the taste of chlorine, as it is necessary to wait 30min before consuming the water and that it is usually the time I wait when the water has just been treated for the chlorine to evaporate, these pearls are not very useful to me...

These little pieces of ceramic leave marks on the glass bottle in which I had placed them. It was deceptive because, at the beginning, I was juggling with 2 bottles. As soon as I poured myself a glass of water, I filled up the missing one immediately and let it sit for the recommended 30 minutes. But one day, I didn't fill it up as I was using it, and I can tell you that I saw traces of limescale!
