However, dirt such as hair, scale, and soap scum on the surface of the hot water can be collected and removed. Thereby, it shall have the effect of maintaining a clean feeling.

Since the top cover and bottom cover of the purification device can be opened and foreign matter taken into the device can be washed away, there is an effect that the foreign matter can be easily washed and discarded in the bathroom.

By moving along the outer circumference of the hot water surface, a water flow is generated, and foreign matters such as hair, scales, and soap sachets contained in the hot water of the bath move to the outside of the hot water surface of the bath and can be removed efficiently. It was supposed to be.

Further, when the purifying apparatus according to the present invention moves along the outer periphery of the hot water surface, the tip portion or the side surface of the apparatus moves while scrubbing foreign matter such as hair, scale, and soap scum adhering to the inner surface of the bathtub. Therefore, in particular, it has an effect of efficiently purifying the contact portion between the bathtub and the hot water surface where foreign substances are likely to adhere and the periphery thereof. In other words, it can be easily and effectively purified by scavenging before the foreign object is persistent.

In order to effectively produce sterilization, sterilization, deodorization, water purification, and the like, which are the effects of the photocatalyst, titanium oxide is used as a raw material for the purification device itself, or a coating with titanium oxide is applied. In order to further enhance the photocatalytic effect, an ultraviolet lamp is provided inside the purification apparatus according to the present invention, and the titanium oxide is irradiated with ultraviolet rays. Moreover, it became possible to enhance the sterilization and sterilization effect by irradiating the foreign matter taken into the apparatus with ultraviolet rays from an ultraviolet lamp.

Since the outer surface of the present apparatus is a titanium oxide material having a photocatalytic effect, the photocatalytic effect such as sterilization and deodorization is also produced on the hot water of the bath and the inner surface of the bathtub in contact therewith. This photocatalytic effect is also effective for the air in the bathroom.
