Orinko Organic Binchotan x5 | Binchotan Activated Charcoal from Bamboo for Water Pitcher Filtration | Leave Behind Bottled Water with our Activated Charcoal

Absolutely amazing really easy to use, cheaper then plastic filters! We have now made the switch forever wish I'd found this product sooner! The water tastes even better and it's natrual! Win win from us tastes better, better for you and better for the environment! I will be spreading the news! Plus we got a free ebook very informative and answers all questions needed. My only gumble is the plastic packaging inside the box!

Good, with a few niggles. They are really long for a start, I have them in 750ml and 1000ml bottles and they almost reach the top, and they are hollow, which means they are prone to chipping. The size and the hollow centre means that water splashes back out of the bottles when I'm trying to refill them. I'll see how long they last but the 3 I'm using have all chipped off and left bits in my water

Use these regularly. We prefer them because they compost down and do not contain any nasty plastics. Lovely recyclable packaging too. This box of five was the best value 👍

Arrived in a nice sturdy cardboard tube with easy-to-follow instructions. We have a two-jug system that ensures we have plenty of water that’s had its full 4 hours (1 hour good, 4 hours perfect). Even though our tap water is quite hard, it tastes okay and our old Brita filter did improve the taste. But these bamboo sticks are far better! The water tastes amazing and there’s no plastic filters to recycle or throw out - so it’s a win-win!

The sticks are huge and don’t fit into any bottles and most of the jugs so I had to brake them in smaller pieces to be able to use them, which not only don’t look nice in the bottle but also leave loose small fragments.I have been using charcoal sticks for a while and never had this problem.

These are actually hollow. This isn't made clear from the photos or the description. The charcoal also flakes off and floats around in the water. I should have stuck with my original brand.

I have filter jag and I am trying to reduce plastic bottles so I thought that can be a great think to use when we travelling. Unfortunately this was a bit of disappointment. The stick are to big and won’t fit any bottles. After second boil ( as you have to boiled them for 10min every 4weeks) they cracked and break. The taste of water is not as good as I thought, but also you have to leave it in up to 3h in the water and then take it out otherwise leaving it for too long will change the taste of your water agin. After two month of trying it I realised I don’t have a time to count every 3h for a especially if you are a busy person like me. If you don’t have enough big jug then it will take a while to wait for your water. Do t think this is worth it. I wish the stick where smaller.

Super fast delivery! They also sent a nice e-book with detailed steps how to use it. The water seems to be cleaner and the taste is neutral (what clean water should be anway). I've joined the war against plastic and this seems to be the best option, very practical, doesn't require a lot of space and it's great value for our money.
