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.

Having already bought some in Thailand, a year ago, I wanted to renew my stock.Orinko's bamboo is harder, so less flexible, but well worked, and smooth. The roundness of the back sticks well to the hand.

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...

This batch of 6 charcoals arrives to us in a reclosable Kraft pouch and well packed individually.the use is simple and noted in French directly on the pouch, no additional packing!!... You can also download the instructions in E-Book format using the link provided.This system is really ????????????, ????????????????????? ???? ????????????????????? because each stick lasts up to 6 months and then you can recycle it in different ways:? ???? ?????????????????????? ??????????????. If you have a garden, you can crumble it and put it in the compost, or mix it directly into the soil. It will also be useful in the soil of a potted plant, acting as a fertilizer and pH regulator. ??'???????????????? ?????????? ??????????????????????????????????? ???????? ?????? ???? ????????????. It can be used to keep out insects like mosquitoes, which like moisture. ??'???? ???? ?????????????????????????, you can put it where you store your shoes for example. ??'???????????????? ?????????? ??????????????????? ??'?????????? ??????????????????????????????????????. The charcoal dissipates the electromagnetic waves of the computers: place it between you and your device, without covering it. It can be broken or not.Before using it, it will be necessary to put it in boiling water 10 mn.Gesture to be renewed once a month.Then, we let rest the coal in a bottle or carafe 4 to 8 h.The ideal is to have 2 containers.I let my charcoal bathe in a carafe of water the time necessary in the refrigerator and then I pour the contents in my glass bottle and I fill again my carafe for the next time.the water has no taste, neither color, nor particular odor... 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... A healthier water, less waste, ecological & economic, recyclable and 1% of the selling price is put back to a ?????????????????? ???? ??????????????????????????.???????????????????? ???????????????? !?? ??

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.

Binchotans are produced in Japan, in the Wakayama and Kochi Prefectures, from Umamegashi (holm oak) wood. Activated charcoal can also be used on its own, simply placed in a water carafe. It is a very economical and ecological way to filter tap water naturally.Duration at the bottom of a carafe or a glass bottle: 3 monthswithout the toxic products that treat our water

Product conforms to the description and received quickly. I ordered this product 3 months ago. Since I discovered these ceramic pearls I notice less this unpleasant smell and try to consume less bottled water but more tap water. I recommend this product to my great surprise that works

I bought these beads to banish the kilos of plastic that the consumption of water bottles represents for a household of 4 people. I've been testing them for a few months now and the efficiency is still the same as on the first day. I use them in carafes, in the vases of senseo dolce gusto style coffee makers, which significantly reduces the scaling. I recommend this product

I have been looking for a way to purify my water for a long time and this is a good alternative to traditional filters. The delivery was very fast 1 day.the sticks last up to 6 months so I have a very long time, this is a good value for money.

The principle of the binchotan is that you put a stick of charcoal in your carafe of water of one liter (after having made boil the stick ten minutes, to be renewed once per month) and that the activated charcoal absorbs a part of the harmful elements (the taste of chlorine disappears and it seems the pesticides) while releasing some interesting trace elements. What is certain is that the water tastes better. The disadvantage is that it is necessary to leave the water from 4 to 8 hours before drinking it (thus a rotation on at least two carafes).a stick can be used 6 months, and it is recycled very well (in particular in absorber of odor in the refrigerator, then in the chimney).There is another brand black+blum which proposes sticks calibrated for a plastic gourd (they get stuck in it which avoids that the stick moves and risks to crumble in the carafe when we serve ourselves) but the plastic it is not recommended any more for the drinking water, and the price is a little bit higher. Here, one of the sticks I received (out of 6) has a knot that prevents it from going into my usual carafe, but it fits easily into a wide-necked pot. In summary, a good alternative to bottled water and filtering carafes from an ecological point of view (although it should be possible to make green oak charcoal in France rather than importing it from Japan) and economically, but it is a bit restrictive, especially for a family with children.

Indeed I notice the change. My water contains a lot of limescale. Since I have been using it I have noticed a clear change. It doesn't remove all of it, but it still works.
