Abstract

Abstract An electrolytically ionized water forming apparatus includes a plurality of electrolysis devices (1a - 1c) each comprising an electrolysis vessel (7) having a cathode (2) and an anode (3) opposed to each other and an electrolysis diaphragm (4) partitioning the space between the electrodes into a cathode chamber and an anode chamber. A water supply channel (8) is disposed on one side of the vessel (7) and an ionized alkaline water discharge channel (9a) in communication with the cathode chamber and an acidic water discharge channel (9b) in communication with the cathode chamber respectively are disposed on the other side of each vessel (7). The plurality of electrolysis devices (1a - 1c) are connected in series in a plurality of stages such that only one of the two ionized water discharge channels (9a, 9b) of the electrolysis device of a preceding stage is connected to the water supply channel (8) of the electrolysis device of the succeeding stage. The polarity of the voltage applied to the electrolysis devices is preferably switched alternately at a predetermined time for enabling continuous operation. A magnetic supply unit or electron generation unit may be associated with the electrolysis vessels (7) thereby exerting magnetic effect or electrons on the water during electrolysis.
