Abstract:
An apparatus for producing an electrolytic water, said apparatus comprising:(a) an electrolyzing vessel comprising an anode chamber, a cathode chamber, and a partition membrane, said partition membrane being disposed between said anode chamber and said cathode chamber, wherein electric current which is supplied to electrodes disposed in said anode and cathode chambers, and water to be electrolyzed which is delivered into said anode and cathode chambers to produce anodic water in said anode chamber, and cathodic water in said cathode chamber, produce electrolytic water which is discharged through discharge ports disposed on said anode and cathode chambers;(b) anode side treating water supply means for (i) supplying as treating water. sodium chloride solution or potassium chloride solution to said anode chamber and (ii) adiusting quantities of supply of said sodium chloride solution or potassium chloride solution, said anode chamber being connected with said anode side treating water supply means;(c) cathode side treating water supply means for supplying, as treating water, hydrochloride solution or dilute hydrochloride solution to said cathode chamber, said cathode chamber being connected with said cathode side treating water supply means; and(d) a raw water supply passage for supplying service water, said raw water supply passage being provided with a flow meter for detecting a flow quantity of said raw water,wherein said anode side treating water supply means and said cathode side treating water supply means comprise an anode side pump and a cathode side pump, respectively, and each of said anode side pump and said cathode side pump is controlled for operation in accordance with said flow quantity of raw water measured by said flow meter, so that a required quantity of produced anodic water, cathodic water, or mixed water thereof, can be mixed with said raw water.
