The water activating member of the present invention can be similarly applied to groundwater, river water, sewage, pond water, and the like, in addition to tap water. It can also be applied to livestock, forestry, and agriculture, and is effective in promoting the growth of plants and animals and promoting health.

The above effects are considered to be caused by the increase in the surface activity of water, the increase in hydroxide ions, and the downsizing of water clusters by the water activating member of the present invention. Have been.

One example of the water activating device of the present invention is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 2, a cylindrical portion (A) filled with the water activating member, a water introducing portion (B) connected to a water introducing portion and a water discharging portion of the cylindrical portion, and a water discharging portion (C). ), And holding plates (D) and (D) for holding the water activating member inserted between the cylindrical portion and each of the parts (B) and (C). In this apparatus, each part (A) and (B) is detachably connected to the cylindrical part by a bolt, for example, at a flange part, but the water inlet part (B) is attached to the lower part of the cylindrical part. Is preferred. As a result, water flows through the cylindrical portion filled with the activating member at least in the outward path from the bottom to the top, so that the contact between the water and the activating member is performed efficiently, and a high activating effect is obtained. The water discharge part (C) connected to the other end of the cylindrical portion does not necessarily need to be at the top of the device, but may be at the bottom of the entire device as in FIG.

The size of the water activating device is not particularly limited.
It can be arbitrarily designed according to the installation location, water activation processing speed, and the like. In addition, one water activating device may be used alone, or a plurality of water activating devices may be connected in series or in parallel. The holding plates (D) and (D ') are disks attached to hold the water activating member in the cylindrical portion, and the water receives a large resistance to the extent that the water activating member does not go outside. A number of holes have been drilled to allow for inflow and outflow without.

The cylindrical portion (A), the water introduction part (B), the water discharge part (C) and the holding plate (D) constituting the water activating device have corrosion resistance to water and are resistant to water. On the other hand, it is only necessary to be made of a material that does not elute, such as stainless steel, other non-elutable materials with water,
For example, plastics such as an acrylic resin, a polycarbonate resin, a polyacetal resin, a polyester resin, and a polyamide resin can be exemplified, and a steel material in which the inside is coated with the above non-corrosive material can also be used. It is.

In order to activate the water using the water activating device of the present invention, water is introduced into the water activating device from the water introduction section of the water activating device, and is filled in a cylindrical portion of the device. After passing between the water activating members, the water is discharged from the water inlet. In this method, when the water is caused to contact the water activating member of the present invention while flowing in the antigravity direction, the effect of the present invention can be more effectively achieved. In order to save height, when a device of the type shown in FIG. 2 is used, the flow of water on the return path coincides with the direction of gravity, but on the outward path the direction of gravity is counter to the direction of gravity. In order to activate the water more effectively, the time for contacting the water with the water activating member does not need to be particularly defined, and a very short time, such as 1 second or less, for simply passing the water is sufficient.

The amount of water to be treated should be appropriately set according to the size of the activating member and the size of the container for accommodating the activating member. For example, for the activating member having a diameter of 14 to 15 mm and 17 to 18 mm, 7: 3 ( (Weight ratio) When the mixture is packed in a container having a diameter of 60 mm and a length of 800 mm, a treatment of about 7 tons / 18 hours is possible.
