[0003] In order to obtain such weakly acidic functional water, there is a method using an electrolyzed water generator. However, since the apparatus is expensive, the initial cost is high and it is difficult to use the functional water. Thus, a disinfectant disinfectant as disclosed in JP-A-10-81610 has been developed. This is because a weakly acidic functional water can be obtained simply by dissolving a powdery drug in water. In addition, there is no harm even when used for cleaning foods, and there is no harm to the environment when the food is washed as it is. That is, unlike the case of using the electrolyzed water generator, the initial cost is not required, so that it can be easily introduced, can be used for washing and disinfecting vegetables and tableware, and can be promoted even in a small shop or a general household.

[0004] As described above, it has an unprecedented advantage, but has the disadvantage that the operation of dissolving the drug is troublesome, and it is difficult to use it in actual use. That is, for dissolution, two kinds of drugs are put into a predetermined amount of water by a predetermined amount, left for a few minutes until the water soaks into the drugs, and then stirred. For this reason, when a large amount of weakly acidic functional water is required, such as when washing floors, a large container must be made each time.When using the container, the container containing the weakly acidic functional water must be tilted or separated. I have to scoop up with the equipment.

First, the dissolution processing operation will be described. In the first step n1, in the initial state where the reservoir 2 is empty,
When the second solenoid valve 26 is turned on, that is, the water supply line 20
Is controlled so that water does not come out even if the faucet 26 is opened. This is a kind of safety device that prevents non-weakly acidic functional water from coming out as weakly acidic functional water. Further, the first display lamp 34 is turned off (turned off), and the second display lamp 35 is turned on (turned on).
Indicates that supply of weakly acidic functional water is impossible.

In a fifth step n5, the first solenoid valve 25
When N is applied, water is injected into the storage unit 2 through the water supply line 20 and the water supply line 20a. When the first liquid level detection switch 7a is turned on in the sixth step n6, that is, when a predetermined amount of water is injected, the control circuit 33 turns off the first solenoid valve 25 and injects water in the next seventh step n7. Is stopped, and the first pump 3 is turned on to circulate the water in the storage section 2 back to the circulation path 4, that is, the storage section 2 via the medicine supply section 5 and the filtration section 6. Also, the timer 32

To reach. In the filtration part 6, only the medicines A and B dissolved in water pass through, and those not dissolved are blocked by the filter 18, and the case 1
It is exposed to flowing water while floating in the space between the filter 7 and the filter 18. During this exposure, the medicines A and B are gradually dissolved, and sequentially pass through the filtration unit 6. The solution that has exited the filtration unit 6 returns to the storage unit 2 through the circulation path 4. Since water and solution are pumped out of the reservoir 2 by the first pump 3 and circulated through the filtration unit 6, even when a thin solution is initially dissolved, when all the medicines A and B are dissolved, the concentration becomes a predetermined high concentration. , Concentrated weakly acidic functional water D is completed.

Next, the operation of the functional water supply processing will be described. In the state of the ninth step n9, which is a ready state, when the faucet 26 is opened and water flows through the water supply line 20, the flow switch 29 detects the water flow. I do. In a tenth step n10, when the flow switch 29 is turned on, the control circuit 33 drives the second pump 21 in an eleventh step n11 to concentrate the concentrated weakly acidic functional water D by a predetermined amount with respect to the flowing water. Supply through supply line 19. Then, the concentrated weakly acidic functional water D is diluted by the water flowing through the merging line 20b of the water supply line 20, and becomes weakly acidic functional water (functional solution) having a predetermined concentration when supplied from the faucet 26.
