In particular, in the electrodeionization apparatus of Example 2, since the deionized water was circulated as the concentrated water, the pressure difference hardly increased.

As described above in detail, according to the electrodeionization apparatus of the present invention, even when water containing a hard component such as tap water is treated, the generation of calcium carbonate scale in the concentration chamber is effective. And stable operation can be continued for a long period of time. For this reason, according to the electrodeionization apparatus of the present invention, the RO membrane apparatus conventionally required as a pretreatment apparatus can be omitted, and equipment costs and processing costs can be reduced.
