We have been using his charcoal sticks for some time now and we are very satisfied.it really removes the bad taste of tap water, brings calcium, iron and magnesium, and improves the transit naturally.for the use, it is simple: 1 stick for 1L of water, 2 sticks for 2L of water.You have to boil it 10 to 15min in a pot of boiling water, then put it in a carafe, a big gourd or a reusable plastic bottle (it's not the best but that's what we did).and then you have to let it work, filter it during 4h minimum, 8h at best.I drank it after 2 hours and there was still a little taste of tap water.so you really have to wait to get the benefits.you have to boil it again every month, 10 to 15 minutes in a pot of boiling water.1 Charcoal is usable for 6 months. After that, it can be used as a deodorant or as a fertilizer, but it does not filter limescale, and you should avoid drinking the stagnant water in the carafe if you have not touched it for 48 hours. It will be necessary just to renew the water and to wait ideally 8 hours.In the hope that my comment will be useful to you

I don't use this product for my ears, I do it differently as before, but it is great for cleaning the very sharp blades of my robots in the small nooks and crannies that are difficult to access even with the special brush

In order to stop buying bottled water (for the wallet and the environment) I tried the Charcoal Sticks to slip into the carafe! It works well. There is not even as much scale in the coffee maker... The water doesn't taste like bleach anymore. I am very happy. Each stick lasts several weeks. I empty the carafe when not in use to avoid wearing it out.

Our water is ultra calcareous, but it just feels like drinking spring water. Just disgusted not to have thought of buying it earlier, to try it is to adopt it! With the 80 pearls we have 2 caraphes, 2 bottles and the kettle. I will definitely order again to put some in my washing machine and dishwasher.

Binchotan is an activated charcoal that is a bit special. It is made from specially selected oak wood and prepared according to a traditional Japanese method to increase its detoxifying power. Indeed, it is supposed to capture heavy metals, pesticides, drug residues, chlorine, arsenic, aluminum... and just about everything that can make water dangerous for your health.Note that I would not risk using the binchotan to make pond water drinkable, its use is rather reserved for the detoxification of water that would already be drinkable, starting with tap water or bottled water.a brief notice appears on the packaging (soft but everything arrived intact), as well as a link to download a more complete notice. Basically, the sticks have to be cooked for 10 minutes in boiling water before the first use. Please note that during this step they give back a lot of dust and that the water thrown away is a bit black. Then the sticks can be put at the bottom of a carafe of water of about 1 liter (be careful, they have the consistency of stone and sink very quickly: do not throw them too vigorously in an empty glass carafe at the risk of having to go and get the vacuum cleaner quickly!) They should be left for 4 to 8 hours to ensure good water depolution. The sticks can then be reused for a month, then need to be boiled for 10 minutes to get rid of the accumulated toxins. The process can be repeated 5 more times, which allows for a total of 6 months of use. Having a rainwater harvesting system with a filtration and potabilization system at home, I decided to test a binchotan stick to remove a taste that had appeared in my water over the last few weeks and that was related to the fermentation of pollen in the tanks. The unpleasant taste has been reduced but is still perceptible. Other shapes of sticks exist (longer, cylindrical or flat...), which does not change the principle of action but modifies the speed of capture according to the surface of exchange (1h can be enough for long and flat sticks for example). The number of reuse can also vary (from 2 months to 6 months according to the shape and the volume of the sticks).

This product is in conformity with what is announced in the notice by the manufacturer.it is necessary to put first the water and then the charcoal, if not there is a risk of having splinters of charcoal at the bottom of the bottle.it allows to drink healthy water in all circumstances without giving a particular taste. This product is organic, it is also a good thing.

I am very much against plastic bottles, they pollute our planet, we drink exclusively water and a little bit of wine too, the burgundy! The Binchotan or natural wood of Japan has really (according to certain site) capacities to purify water, I see more an interest to mask a little the taste of tap water. My wife and my children really find that water has a little different taste but not less pleasant for all that.

I had a discussion with the seller because the beads are not anti-scale for kettles. I must say quite honestly that the seller refunded my purchase. So I recognize the honesty of this seller and hope that he will make an improvement to his product.

This carbon is super effective. You don't feel the bad taste of tap water anymore, you feel that the water is purified and enriched with good minerals. Moreover, effective on the duration, and natural! (6 months / coal + to make boil every 1 month) Perfect, I recommend!

Extra, very simple to use and more ecological/economic than a filter carafe or bottled water not always well balanced for the body and creating the worst waste for the earth.The charcoal once prepared as explained was put in a water jar a water never changed for 15 days, only levelled when needed and the water keeps a perfect taste.I recommend!

Now that I know, it will be difficult to do without these charcoal sticks.we don't buy plastic bottles, I find it extremely polluting and we don't have a filter jug either, but the water in our city is not so good and the environment is quite polluted, so I wanted to try the Binchotan, already knowing that charcoal has many qualities (adds minerals and trace elements, filters chemicals and heavy metals).The only small effort to make is to boil your sticks once a month for 6 months (you can do it in rice or pasta water), in order to purify them again, frankly the calculation is quickly done, you can very well give yourself this little trouble to try to fix things a little bit.Here we have 4 glass water bottles that we can fill as much as we want. The water is really perfect to be drunk 4 hours after filling, so the rotation is practical.and there, there is no photo, if you thought that the water has no taste you are going to be surprised! I have the impression to drink the spring of my grandfather, devoid of chemical tastes. What a pleasure, the difference is obvious! 4 sticks is good, it makes us 6 months of water consumption with carbon, I let you do the calculation but in terms of buying water bottles or carafe filters, it's quickly done! No more waste and a real economy. When the carbon stick is no longer effective, it recycles naturally, you can use it for your plants.The little extra of this brand, 1% of the sale price is donated to a reforestation program, what to compensate for carbon emissions related to the transport of Takesumi (a limited transport compared to that of water packs bought in trade this-is) and participate in the fight against deforestation.the charcoal is adopted!

I was looking for a solution to reduce my consumption of plastic bottles, so I tested these charcoal sticks to put in the water to purify it.it seems to work well, the water doesn't taste like it normally does when it comes out of the tap.it's a great alternative to bottled water, I recommend.

It cleans the carafe well and the lime deposit, I use the balls to remove it: by shaking them energetically in a little water and then I rinse.

The product is 100% what I expected and the service offered by Orinko is great! Their follow-up and knowledge of the products is just perfect. The box arrived in good condition, the sticks are big and dust free, individually packed. The little tips given are also very useful, don't forget to boil your charcoal before its first use. You can also contact me if you have any questions.
