 Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Reference numeral 1 is a purifying unit having a cylindrical shape, for example, which houses the filtering material 2. The filter material 2 is composed of a porous member 3 made of sponge, synthetic fiber or the like and activated carbon 4 in this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 2, the above-mentioned porous member 3 is made up of porous members 3a, 3b, and 3c having different mesh roughnesses arranged concentrically in three layers in cross section in this embodiment. . In this case, these porous members 3a, 3b, 3c have the outermost porous member 3a having the largest mesh and the inner layer of the porous member 3a so as to be able to sequentially scrape out minute things along the flow of bath water. 3c is formed with the finest mesh. In addition, 5 (see FIG. 1) is a discharge port of the bath water formed on the peripheral surface of the purification unit 1, and 6 is a water suction port provided in the lower portion of the purification unit 1.

[0012] Reference numeral 7 is a source of bacteria that decomposes organic components of bath water after purification. The purification unit 1 is provided with this generation source 7 together with the above-mentioned filter medium 2. Sources 7 of bacteria include, for example, various ores and ceramics.

Reference numeral 8 denotes an apparatus main body provided with a circulation pump 9 for returning the bath water after purification in the purification unit 1 into the bath 22. The purification unit 1 is, for example, screwed to the lower portion of the apparatus body 8 and is formed so as to be separable from the apparatus body 8.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a heater provided in the apparatus main body 8 for heating the purified bath water. Reference numeral 11 denotes a storage chamber for the heater 10. The purified bath water is heated by the heater 10 while passing through the storage chamber 11.

Reference numeral 12 is a water suction pipe, and 13 is a water discharge pipe. The suction lower end of the water suction pipe 12 is connected to the bath water outlet 14 formed on the upper surface of the purification unit 1, and the discharge lower end of the water discharge pipe 13 is connected to the inlet 15 of the purification unit 1.
