Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は水を磁気処理とセラミックス処理と遠赤外線放射体により活性化し、農畜産業における生長促進、病気の予防、健康増進、悪臭防止、食品業における腐敗防止、鮮度保持、飲料水の改質、工業的には配管内等のスケール付着防止、コンクリートの強度向上等あらゆる産業、特に農畜産業、食品加工業に有効な活性水の製造方法及び装置に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
水の活性化方法については電磁気エネルギー、電磁波エネルギー、機械的エネルギー、放射線エネルギー、音波エネルギー、遠赤外線エネルギーを用いた方法やセラミックス処理法、ミネラル添加法等が知られており、目的、用途に応じて上記の方法を単独又は組み合わせて使用し実用化されている。
【０００３】
電磁気エネルギーを用いる方法の一つとして磁気処理がある。それらは例えば特開平５−２９３４９１、特開平５−５７２８６のように既設の管の一部を切断して取り付けるか、例えば特開平２−１３１１８６、特開平９−５７２７３、特開平１０−２８９７２のように既設の管を挟んで永久磁石を保持したケースを取り付けている。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の磁気処理装置は、上記のように取り付けられるため管内流速が一定でない場合必然的に処理効果も一定しないという問題があった。
【０００５】
また、円形断面の既設配管を挟んで永久磁石を配置する場合、磁気を流体に作用させ、且つその効果を永続させるためには、例えば特開平９−５７２７３のように残留磁束密度や保磁力の高い永久磁石を使用するが、それらは一般的に高価であり取り扱いも注意を要するという課題が存在する。
【０００６】
セラミックスによる処理も同様に、例えば特開平５−２９３４９１のように既設の管の一部分を切断した場所にケース中に管状に成形して取り付けるか、例えば特開平２−１３１１８６のように既設の管を挟んで永久磁石を保持したケースに付けている。従って、同様に管内流速が一定でない場合、必然的に処理効果も一定しないという問題がある。
【０００７】
すなわち、一方向の流路の中に設置されるために一回だけの処理となり、しかも処理効果が管内流速に左右されることから、水の分子クラスターを小さくして活性化する基本部分が不十分なためセラミックスやミネラルの効果も減殺され、装置の能力を十分に発揮し得ないという課題が存在する。
【０００８】
また、畜産業における悪臭公害は現在大きな社会問題となっており、畜産業は住宅地を遠く離れて山間地に立地せざるを得ないという苦境に立たされている。
【０００９】
畜産業に限らず他産業においても悪臭を発生後除去するには、洗浄、吸着、燃焼、希釈などの方法があるが、いずれも莫大な設備コストの割には十分な効果を得がたい。畜産業の排泄物処理や下水道処理にバクテリアを利用する技術もあるが、同様に莫大な設備コストを要する。これらはいずれにしても悪臭発生物に対応するものであり、悪臭発生物の生成を根源から絶つものではない。
【００１０】
そこで、活性水の活性度をより確実に高めるため活性水の使用場所、用途に応じ、原水が処理器を複数回通過し、確実に活性化処理される循環活性化処理器の提供を目的とする。
【００１１】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するための本発明の活性水製造方法は、内部に遠赤外線放射体を収納した容器を内蔵した処理水槽に水を貯め、処理水槽の水が磁場を通過する磁気処理と、セラミックスを装入した容器内を通過するセラミックス処理と、処理水槽に戻る処理を、送水ポンプを手動又は自動で、一定流速で一定時間連続運転することにより、複数回行い、水を活性化させることを特徴とする。
【００１２】
磁場を通過する磁気処理は、ステンレス鋼又は樹脂などの非磁性材からなる一定長の管を使用し、該管長の半分以上の断面形状を長円形の扁平体となるように形成し、且つ長円形の扁平体に対し四角断面で薄型の永久磁石をＮ極とＳ極が対応するように複数個重ねたものを一列又は複数列配置した構成になしてある。また、長円形の扁平体を複数個形成し、隣接する扁平体を適宜な一定角度に捻った構成になすこともできる。
【００１３】
セラミックスを装入した容器内を通過するセラミックス処理は、筒形容器の中に、抗菌効果を有し遠赤外線を放射し有効ミネラル分を多量含有し微量ずつ溶出する鉱物を多孔質の球状に成形したセラミックスボールを装入した構成になしてある。
【００１４】
また、本発明の活性水製造装置は、内部に遠赤外線放射体を収納した容器を内蔵した処理水槽と、送水ポンプと、水が磁場を通過して磁気処理される磁気処理器と、水がセラミックスの装入された容器内を通過してセラミックス処理されるセラミックス処理器と、処理水槽から水を送水ポンプ、磁気処理器、セラミックス処理器、処理水槽へと循環させる配管とからなることを特徴とする。水槽の内部には古来から抗菌、防臭、薬効などの効果があるといわれている数種類の遠赤外線放射体を単独又は組み合わせて収納した容器を水没する位置に内蔵する。一定流速で一定時間連続運転することにより、原水が処理器を複数回通過し、原水が確実に活性化処理される。また、水槽の液面を自動検出する液面計を水槽に設け、補給口に電磁弁を設け、液面計の信号により電磁弁を入り切りするような回路を運転制御盤に組み込めば装置の自動運転も可能となる。
【００１５】
さらに、磁気処理器上流と、セラミックス処理器下流にそれぞれ三方弁を設け、磁気処理器上流側の三方弁には原水管を、セラミックス処理器下流側の三方弁には処理水供給配管を接続し、三方弁の手動または自動切り替えにより、循環処理と原水から磁気処理器とセラミックス処理器を１回のみ通過する処理とを切り替え可能とする。これにより、使用場所、目的により、１回通過処理と循環処理を切り替えることができる。また、三方弁を電磁三方弁とし、運転制御盤に電磁三方弁の切り替え操作回路を組み込めば、一定水量の循環処理済みの活性水と１回通過処理水を同時に使用することも可能となる。
【００１６】
また、内部に遠赤外線放射体を収納した容器を内蔵した処理水槽と、送水ポンプと、水が磁場を通過して磁気処理される磁気処理器と、水がセラミックスの装入された容器内を通過してセラミックス処理されるセラミックス処理器と、磁気処理器とセラミックス処理器の通過回数及び量をそれぞれ変更する調節弁と、処理水槽から水を送水ポンプ、送水ポンプから磁気処理器とセラミックス処理器を並列に通過し、処理水槽へと循環させる配管とからなることを特徴とする。流量調節弁を調節することにより、使用場所、目的、処理可能時間によって、磁気処理とセラミックス処理に強弱をつけることができる。自動運転も同様に可能である。
【００１７】
１個の水槽に仕切板を設け、処理水槽と活性水を貯える貯水槽に区分し、ポンプの吐出側に三方弁を設け、該三方弁に貯水槽への配管を接続し、三方弁の手動または自動切り替えにより、循環処理と貯水槽への送水処理とを切り替え可能とする。仕切りは、単位時間当たりの使用量と処理量の比に応じて設ける。これにより、単位時間当たりの使用量と処理量により、連続的に供給したり、一定時間（例えば、昼間の作業時間）のみ連続的に供給したりすることができる。また、水槽の液面を自動検出する液面計を両水槽に設け、電磁三方弁にして、液面計の信号により電磁弁を入り切りするような回路を運転制御盤に組み込めば、循環処理運転と送水運転を自動的に切り替えることにより、装置の統合自動運転も可能である。
【００１８】
処理水槽とは別に活性水を貯える貯水槽と、ポンプの吐出側に三方弁を設け、該三方弁に貯水槽への配管を接続し、三方弁の手動または自動切り替えにより、循環処理と貯水槽への送水処理とを切り替え可能とする。これにより、連続使用を可能とし、且つ貯水量、配置位置等の設備設計時の自由度が格別に大きくなるメリットがある。また、水槽の液面を自動検出する液面計を両水槽に設け、電磁三方弁にして、液面計の信号により電磁弁を入り切りするような回路を運転制御盤に組み込めば、循環処理運転と送水運転を自動的に切り替えることにより、装置の統合自動運転も可能である。
【００１９】
磁気処理器は、ステンレス鋼又は樹脂などの非磁性材からなる一定長の管を使用し、該管長の半分以上の断面形状を長円形の扁平体となるように形成し、且つ長円形の扁平体に対し四角断面で薄型の永久磁石をＮ極とＳ極が対応するように複数個重ねたものを一列又は複数列配置した構成になしてある。永久磁石を複数列配置することにより所要の磁束密度、保磁力を保ちつつ磁気処理部分の長さも確保することができる。なお普通炭素鋼製ヨークは一列分を製作してもよいし、複数列分を一体で製作してもよい。また、長円形の扁平体を複数個形成し、隣接する扁平体を適宜な一定角度に捻った構成になすこともできる。この構成により、低流速域でも乱流が発生しやすく、流れの全方向に磁力線が分布できるので、水分子のクラスターがより小さくなりやすく複数回の循環処理と相俟って十分な活性化処理を発揮する。配列した永久磁石の外側は例えばステンレス鋼のような非磁性材料で覆い磁気シールドする。このように磁気処理器を製作することで、使用場所、用途、目的に対応して磁束の強さ、作用距離を自在に設計可能である。
【００２０】
セラミックス処理器は、筒形容器の中に、抗菌効果を有し遠赤外線を放射し有効ミネラル分を多量含有し微量ずつ溶出する鉱物を多孔質の球状に成形したセラミックスボールを装入した構成になしてある。磁気処理された水がこのセラミックス処理器を通過することにより有害物質が除去され、溶出した微量ミネラル成分も磁気処理効果と遠赤外線効果でさらに活性化する。これを複数回循環処理することにより水分子クラスターの小さい活性化されたミネラル成分を多く含む活性水が得られる。
【００２１】
【発明の実施の形態】
図１は、本発明の活性水製造装置の第１実施例の説明図である。処理水槽１はステンレス鋼又は樹脂製で、内部には数種類の遠赤外線放射体を水槽容積１００リットル当たり０．５〜５．０キログラム、単独に又は組み合わせて収納したステンレス鋼又は樹脂製の網状で箱形の遠赤外線放射体収納容器１ａを備え、原水補給口１ｂ、処理水取出し口１ｃ、排水口１ｄ、溢水口１ｅ、吸排気口１ｆ、循環取出し口１ｇ、循環戻し口１ｈなどの配管接続口と、液面計取り座と点検清掃用蓋１ｉを有する。遠赤外線放射体は、古来から抗菌、防臭、薬効などの効果があるといわれているものである。
【００２２】
循環取り出し口１ｇと循環戻し口１ｈの間に送水ポンプ２、磁気処理器３、セラミックス処理器４を循環配管５で接続する。
【００２３】
処理水槽と送水ポンプは架台に取り付けるとともに、原水補給配管６，原水補給弁６ａ、処理水供給配管７，処理水供給弁７ａ、排水配管８、排水弁８ａ、溢水配管９、吸排気ブリーザー１０、液面計１１をそれぞれ取り付ける。
【００２４】
送水ポンプ２は単に開閉器の入り切りで運転することができるが開閉器とタイマーの組み合わせや液面計を接点付きにし、原水補給弁を電磁弁にすれば、容易に自動運転化も可能である。それらの運転制御盤１２は使用上好ましい位置に設置し、各機器間を配線にて接続する。
【００２５】
処理運転時間は、処理水槽容積とポンプ能力（容積／時間当たり）によって異なるが、処理水槽の水が磁気処理器を少なくとも５回以上通過する時間とする。例えば、処理水槽の容積が２００リットル、ポンプ能力が１００リットル／分なら（２００÷１００）×５＝１０分以上となる。長くて２時間以内にする。
【００２６】
図２は、本発明の活性水製造装置の第２実施例で、循環処理と１回処理の切り替え可能とし、これらの処理を自動化した場合の説明図である。送水ポンプ２と磁気処理器３の間と、セラミックス処理器４と循環戻し口１ｈの間の２箇所に電磁三方弁１３、１４を設け、磁気処理器側の電磁三方弁１３の一方の口は原水補給配管１５、セラミックス処理側の電磁三方弁１４の一方の口は１回処理水供給配管１６をそれぞれ接続する。電磁三方弁１３が励磁、電磁三方弁１４が非励磁の場合は原水補給処理、電磁三方弁１３、１４が非励磁の場合は循環処理、電磁三方弁１３、１４が励磁の場合は１回処理となる。自動運転制御時の各機器の状態は表１の通りに設定する。
【００２７】
【表１】

【００２８】
図３は、本発明の活性水製造装置の第３実施例で、磁気処理器３とセラミックス処理器４を並列に配置した装置の説明図である。磁気処理器３とセラミック処理器４のそれぞれに流量調節弁１７を取り付けている。処理水槽１から、送水ポンプ２を通過した水が磁気処理器３とセラミックス処理器４へ２分され、再び合流して処理水槽１に戻るように配管接続する。また、水が送水ポンプから磁気処理器を通過した後、セラミックス処理器があるものとないものに２分され、再び合流して処理水槽に戻るように配管接続することができる。分流個所の片側又は両側に流量調節弁を設け必要に応じ流量を調節する。
【００２９】
図４は、本発明の活性水製造装置の第４実施例で、一つの水槽に仕切板１ｋを設け処理水槽１と貯水槽１８に区分した装置の説明図である。三方弁１９を送水ポンプ２の下流側に設け、貯水槽１８に循環処理済み水補給口１８ａを設け、三方弁１９と貯水槽１８を配管接続する。三方弁１９は、循環処理運転時は、送水ポンプ２、磁気処理器３、セラミックス処理器４、処理水槽１へ水が流れるように、貯水槽１８へ送水運転時は、送水ポンプ２、処理水槽１８へ水が流れるように切り替える。送水ポンプ２は単に開閉器の入り切りで運転し弁類は手動操作でも一連の運転は可能であるが、原水補給弁６ａ、三方弁１９を電磁弁にし、液面計１１、２０を接点付きにすれば容易に自動化も可能である。自動運転制御時の各機器の状態は表２の通りに設定する。

【００３１】
水槽大きさの設計上の考え方を述べる。
処理水槽容積：Ｖ１［リットル］
貯水槽容積：Ｖ２［リットル］
活性化処理能力：Ｑ１［リットル／時間］
活性水使用量：Ｑ２［リットル／時間」
原水補給能力：ｑ１［リットル／分］
ポンプ能力：ｑ２［リットル／分］
原水補給時間：ｔ１＝Ｖ１／ｑ１［分］
循環処理時間：ｔ２＝Ｖ１／ｑ２×５［分］
送水処理時間：ｔ３＝Ｖ２／ｑ２［分］
とすれば、補給開始から循環処理、送水処理終了までの一連のサイクルタイムはＴ＝ｔ１＋ｔ２＋ｔ３［分］となり、Ｑ１＝Ｖ１／Ｔ／６０＝Ｖ１×６０／Ｔとなる。通常Ｑ１≧Ｑ２が望ましい。Ｖ２はＱ１≧Ｑ２であれば、Ｖ２＝Ｖ１でよいが、活性水使用量Ｑ２のピーク変動に備えて、Ｖ２＝Ｖ１＋αにする。＋αは使用状況により決定する。なお
、表２の「液面計２０」の「補給液面」とは貯水槽の保有水量容積がαの時の液面である。
【００３２】
図５は、本発明の活性水製造装置の第５実施例で、処理水槽１と別に貯水槽１８を設けた装置の説明図である。従って、排水配管、溢水配管、吸排気口及び吸排気ブリーザーを両水槽に設ける。
【００３３】
図６から図１０は、磁気処理器３の実施例を示す。ステンレス鋼又は樹脂などの非磁性材からなる一定長の管３ａを使用し、該管長の半分以上の断面形状を長円形の扁平体となるように形成し、管の両端にはフランジ又はねじ込み継手などの適当の管継手３ｂを適当な方法で取り付ける。四角断面で薄型の永久磁石３ｃをＮ極とＳ極が対応するように複数個重ねて普通炭素鋼製ヨーク３ｄにより保持したあと、上記のように形成した管の長円形の扁平体に対して、Ｎ極とＳ極が対応するように配置して一列とする。この列を複数個配列することにより所要の磁束密度、保磁力を保ちつつ磁気処理部分の長さも確保することができる。なお普通炭素鋼製ヨークは一列分を製作してもよいし複数列分を一体で製作してもよい。配列した永久磁石の外側は例えばステンレス鋼のような非磁性材料で覆い磁気シールドする。このように磁気処理器を製作することで、使用場所、用途、目的に対応して磁束の強さ、作用距離を自在に設計可能である。
【００３４】
図１１は、磁気処理器の他の例を示すものであって、蛇腹管３’ａを使用したものであり、図１２は図１１の管軸方向断面図である。このものでは水の流れの乱流化が図られ、水分子のクラスターがより小さくなりやすく少ない循環処理で優れた水処理効果を得ることができる。
【００３５】
なお、上記各実施例では磁気処理のための長円形の扁平体を管軸方向の１箇所にのみ設けたものを示したが、複数箇所に設けるようになしても良く、またこのさい隣接する扁平体を適宜な角度（３０°、６０°、９０°・・・の如く）に捻った状態に形成したりするのであり、磁気処理作用の効率向上化に寄与するものとなる。
【００３６】
図１３は、セラミックス処理器４の実施例を示す。抗菌効果を有し遠赤外線を放射し有効ミネラル分を多量含有し微量ずつ溶出する鉱物を主とした材料を粉砕、分級し、多孔質になるようなバインダーと混練して直径２ｍｍ〜２０ｍｍに成形、乾燥、焼結する。この製品を多孔質セラミックスボール４ａと呼ぶ。これを片端面に接続用継手４ｂを設け片端には接続用管継手を取り付けた蓋４ｃをボルトで締め付けられるフランジ４ｄが溶接してなる筒形容器４ｅに、流出防止目的の金網４ｆを敷いて、多孔質セラミックスボール５０ｇ〜５００ｇ／１時間当たり活性化処理量リットルを装入し、その上に金網４ｆをのせ、接続用管継ぎ手を取り付けた蓋をしてセラミックス処理器を組み立てる。磁気処理された水がこのセラミックス処理器を通過することにより有害物質は除去され、溶出した微量ミネラル成分も磁気処理効果と遠赤外線効果で活性化する。これを複数回循環処理することにより水分子のクラスターの小さい活性化されたミネラル成分を多く含む活性水が得られる。
【００３７】
【発明の効果】
この発明により、原水が処理器を複数回通過し、確実に活性化処理される。また、使用場所、用途、目的に対応して処理回数や、磁気処理とセラミックス処理の比を変化させたり、連続使用、断続的使用と使用量にも柔軟に対応可能な装置を提供できる。
【００３８】
磁気処理器は使用場所、用途、目的に対応して磁束の強さ、作用距離を自在に設計可能である。また蛇腹管を使用することにより低流速域でも乱流になり、さらに長円形の扁平体を複数個形成し、隣接する扁平体を適宜な一定角度に捻った構成になすことにより、低流速域でも乱流が発生しやすく、流れの全方向に磁力線が分布できるので、水分子のクラスターがより小さくなりやすく複数回の循環処理と相俟って十分な活性化処理を発揮する。
【００３９】
セラミックス処理器を通過することにより有害物質は除去され、溶出した微量ミネラル成分も磁気処理効果と遠赤外線効果で生物に吸収されやすくなり活性化する。
【００４０】
本発明による活性化処理水を養豚場で飲料水として与えた結果、排泄物の臭気が著しく減少（アンモニア濃度で飼育期間平均２０〜６０％減少）し、人間の臭覚で感じる嫌な匂いが無くなり、また排泄物にうじ虫、蠅の発生が見られなかった。さらに一日平均増体重は３〜７％増加（向上）、飼料要求率（飼料摂取量／体重増加）も２〜５％減少（向上）した。このことは畜産業に於ける悪臭対策に革命的な転換をもたらすとともに飼育期間短縮、飼料費削減など莫大な経済効果をもたらす。
【００４１】
本発明による活性化処理水を普通セメントと砂、砕石のコンクリート混練に使用した結果、水道水を使用した場合のコンクリートに比較して表面が滑らかで圧縮強度も向上した。特に材令７日で５％、１４日で３％、２８日で１％と早強性の向上が著しい。このことは早強剤の節減ができ、場合によっては工期短縮も可能となり多大の経済効果をもたらす。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention activates water by magnetic treatment, ceramics treatment and far-infrared radiator to promote growth in the agriculture and livestock industries, prevent diseases, promote health, prevent odors, prevent spoilage in the food industry, maintain freshness, and improve drinking water. The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for producing activated water that is effective in all industries, such as industrially preventing scale adhesion in pipes and improving the strength of concrete, particularly in the agriculture and livestock industries and the food processing industry.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Known methods for activating water include methods using electromagnetic energy, electromagnetic energy, mechanical energy, radiation energy, sonic energy, and far-infrared energy, ceramic treatment methods, and mineral addition methods, depending on the purpose and application. Thus, the above methods are used alone or in combination and put to practical use.
[0003]
Magnetic processing is one of the methods using electromagnetic energy. They can be attached by cutting a part of an existing pipe as in, for example, JP-A-5-293493 and JP-A-5-57286, or as in JP-A-2-131186, JP-A-9-57273, and JP-A-10-28972. A case holding a permanent magnet is mounted on the existing tube.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Since the conventional magnetic processing apparatus is mounted as described above, there is a problem that the processing effect is not necessarily constant when the flow velocity in the pipe is not constant.
[0005]
Further, when a permanent magnet is arranged across an existing pipe having a circular cross section, in order to make the magnet act on the fluid and to make the effect permanent, for example, as described in JP-A-9-57273, the residual magnetic flux density and the coercive force are reduced. Although high permanent magnets are used, there is the problem that they are generally expensive and require careful handling.
[0006]
Similarly, the treatment with ceramics may be performed by forming a tube in a case where a part of the existing pipe is cut as in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 5-293349, or by attaching the existing pipe as in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 2-131186. It is attached to the case that holds the permanent magnet between them. Therefore, similarly, when the flow velocity in the pipe is not constant, there is a problem that the processing effect is not necessarily constant.
[0007]
In other words, since the treatment is performed only once because it is installed in the one-way flow path, and since the treatment effect depends on the flow velocity in the pipe, the basic part that activates by reducing the molecular clusters of water is improper. There is a problem that the effects of ceramics and minerals are also reduced due to the sufficient amount, and the capability of the device cannot be sufficiently exhibited.
[0008]
Also, odor pollution in the livestock industry has become a major social problem at present, and the livestock industry is in a difficult situation in which it has to be located far from residential areas and in mountainous areas.
[0009]
There are methods such as washing, adsorption, combustion, and dilution to remove odors after they occur, not only in the livestock industry but also in other industries, but none of them has a sufficient effect for the huge equipment cost. There are technologies that utilize bacteria for the treatment of excrement and sewage in the livestock industry, but they also require enormous equipment costs. In any case, they correspond to the malodor generation product, and the generation of the malodor generation product is not necessarily eliminated.
[0010]
Therefore, in order to more reliably increase the activity of the activated water, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a circulating activation treatment device in which raw water passes through the treatment device multiple times and is reliably activated according to the place and application of the activated water. I do.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the method for producing active water of the present invention comprises: storing water in a treatment water tank containing a container containing a far-infrared radiator therein; magnetic treatment in which water in the treatment water tank passes a magnetic field; It is possible to activate the water by performing the ceramics treatment passing through the container charged with the water and the treatment returning to the treatment water tank a plurality of times by operating the water supply pump manually or automatically at a constant flow rate for a constant time for a plurality of times. Features.
[0012]
The magnetic treatment that passes through the magnetic field uses a fixed-length tube made of a non-magnetic material such as stainless steel or resin, and forms a cross-section that is half or more of the length of the tube into an oblong flat body, and A structure in which a plurality of thin permanent magnets each having a rectangular cross section and having a rectangular cross section are superposed on a circular flat body so that N poles and S poles correspond to each other is arranged in one or more rows. Alternatively, a plurality of oblong flat bodies may be formed, and adjacent flat bodies may be twisted at an appropriate constant angle.
[0013]
The ceramics treatment that passes through the inside of the container loaded with ceramics is formed into a porous spherical spherical mineral in a cylindrical container that emits far-infrared rays, emits far-infrared rays, contains a large amount of effective minerals, and elutes little by little. In this configuration, ceramic balls are inserted.
[0014]
Further, the activated water producing apparatus of the present invention includes a treated water tank containing a container containing a far-infrared radiator therein, a water supply pump, a magnetic processor in which water is magnetically treated by passing a magnetic field, and It consists of a ceramics treatment unit that passes through the inside of a container filled with ceramics and is treated with ceramics, and a pipe that circulates water from the treatment tank to a water pump, a magnetic treatment unit, a ceramics treatment unit, and a treatment tank. And Inside the aquarium, a container containing several types of far-infrared radiators, which are said to have antibacterial, deodorant, and medicinal effects since ancient times, alone or in combination, is built in a submerged position. By operating continuously at a constant flow rate and for a fixed time, the raw water passes through the processor multiple times, and the raw water is reliably activated. In addition, a liquid level gauge that automatically detects the liquid level in the water tank is provided in the water tank, a solenoid valve is provided in the supply port, and a circuit that turns the solenoid valve on and off according to the signal of the liquid level gauge is incorporated in the operation control panel, so that the automatic Driving is also possible.
[0015]
Furthermore, a three-way valve is provided upstream of the magnetic processor and a three-way valve downstream of the ceramics processor, and a raw water pipe is connected to the three-way valve upstream of the magnetic processor and a treated water supply pipe is connected to the three-way valve downstream of the ceramic processor.
