  Conventionally, free chlorine and organic chlorine that form trihalomethane, which is a carcinogenic substance, simply by adding a water treatment flocculant that does not require electricity and does not use electricity, and does not use electricity. There has been proposed a mineral water generator capable of removing impurities such as compounds, arsenic, lead or bacteria, and capable of producing a mellow and good quality mineral water (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-187759).

  As shown in FIG. 5, the mineral water generator 50 includes a raw water container 51 for injecting raw water (tap water, well water, etc.) to which a water treatment flocculant containing mineral is added, and the raw water container 51 as a relay member 52. A water storage container 53 for supporting the product water and storing the generated water, a filter 54 placed on the inner bottom of the raw water container 51, and an activated carbon storage box 56 which is disposed on the outer bottom of the raw water container and contains activated carbon 55 therein. The impurities in the raw water aggregated by the water treatment flocculant are removed by the filter 54 and the activated carbon 55 in the activated carbon storage box 56.

However, the central portion of the activated carbon storage box 56 of the mineral water generator 50 is screwed and held by a cylindrical portion 58 that is provided at the lower portion of the mounting plate 57 on which the filter 54 is mounted and has a threaded portion on the outer surface. Therefore, each time the activated carbon 55 is arranged or replaced in the activated carbon storage box 56, the raw water container 51 and the intermediate member 52 are removed from the water storage container 53, and the cylindrical portion 58 and the activated carbon storage box 56 are screwed together. After releasing the connection, the activated carbon 55 must be taken in and out, and the cylinder portion 58 and the activated carbon storage box 56 must be screwed again, and the replacement work was complicated.

The filter mounting member 12 having the above is arranged, and this filter mounting member 12 is fixed to the bottom of the raw water container 2 with the tube portion 11 inserted through the communication hole 5 of the filter mounting portion 6. Yes. More specifically, a screw portion (not shown) is formed on the outer periphery of the tube portion 11, and the filter mounting plate 10 is attached to the raw water container 2 by screwing the screw portion and the wing nut 13. It is fixed on the filter mounting portion 6 provided at the bottom of the filter. In addition, it is preferable that the lower part of the filter 8 is formed in the filter mounting plate 10 formed in a concave shape so that it can be fitted.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the filter 8 includes activated carbon 7 and a ceramic filter 7 </ b> A encapsulating the activated carbon 7. The activated carbon 7 has a function of deodorizing and decolorizing by adsorbing impurities remaining in the raw water that has passed through the ceramic filter 7A, and the ceramic filter 7A is formed of ceramics having a micropore of approximately 0.5 microns. The impurities in the raw water aggregated by the water treatment flocculant are removed by filtration.

  Examples of the water treatment flocculant added to the raw water in the raw water container 2 include a drinking water modifier disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 4238308 (a plurality of mineral-derived metals obtained in the presence of an inorganic acid solution).

Next, the use of the mineral water generator 1 of the present invention will be described.
In the state shown in FIG. 1, the upper lid 9 is removed, and raw water to which a predetermined amount of the flocculant for water treatment has been added is poured into the raw water container 2, and the upper lid 9 is put on as needed. Here, raw water to which a coagulant for water treatment is added is generated in the mineral-rich water described above after a certain period of time, and a large water molecular group is subdivided and dissolved between water molecules. Aggregation of free chlorine, organochlorine compounds and other organic substances that cause adverse effects on the body is performed. Furthermore, germs are sterilized, and the aggregates float or settle in the raw water so that the aggregates are visible. The physical and chemical mechanisms of such agglomeration have not been elucidated specifically, but multiple metal salts such as magnesium, aluminum, calcium, iron, potassium, sodium, and silicon form double salts and are complex. While entangled, it is considered that charges such as organic substances are efficiently neutralized and aggregated.

In addition, the purification effect of the raw water is determined by adding a predetermined amount of the above-mentioned water treatment flocculant using the park pond water as the raw water,
According to the results of water quality analysis according to K0102), it has been proved that the test items of PH, BOD, SS, coliform group, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and transparency were improved within the standard values. .

  The raw water thus agglomerated is passed through the filter 7 containing the activated carbon 7, and then falls into the water storage container 4 through the cylinder portion 11 and stored. In this process, the raw water is filtered by the ceramic filter 7A to remove the agglomerated impurities, and further, the remaining impurities are adsorbed by contact with the activated carbon 7 arranged in the ceramic filter 7A, and deodorized, decolorized, etc. Purified as high quality mineral water.

  When the produced water stored in the water storage container 4 is taken out, it is only necessary to open the cock 14, but the relay member 3 may be lifted and pumped up from the upper end opening of the water storage container 4.

  Further, when the activated carbon 7 and the ceramic filter 7A (filter 8) become dirty or clogged due to long-term use, it is only necessary to remove the filter 8 from the filter mounting plate 10 and replace it with a new one.
