Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electrolyzed water flow characteristic detecting device, and more particularly to electrolyzed water (acidic water or alkaline water) used for disinfection and sterilization of hospitals at a plurality of locations remote from the electrolyzed water generating device. For accurately detecting and identifying characteristics of electrolyzed water when water is distributed to the water supply terminal.

問題はない。It is well known that strongly acidic water, which is electrolyzed water produced by an electrolyzed water producing apparatus, has a bactericidal effect. Therefore, for example, when trying to obtain the above-mentioned electrolyzed water on each floor of a hospital, conventionally, an electrolyzed water generator is installed on each floor and a desired electrolyzed water is generated and spouted at that location, and is used for disinfection, sterilization, etc. Was used for. Therefore, in this case, it is easy to identify that the electrolyzed water discharged from the device is electrolyzed water having desired characteristics. Even when the electrolyzed water is distributed through a pipe, the electrolyzed water in the pipe has a desired characteristic when the water is directly supplied from the outlet of the device or when the electrolyzed water does not stay in the pipe. There is no particular problem even if it is regarded as a thing.

を招来する恐れがある。However, when the electrolyzed water produced by the electrolyzed water producing apparatus is stored for a long period of time due to accumulated water or the like, the hypochlorous acid concentration and the dissolved oxygen change. Therefore, it may not be suitable for the aforementioned uses such as disinfection and sterilization. In the case of the hospital, because it is uneconomical to install an expensive electrolyzed water generator on each floor, an electrolyzed water generator is installed only on the top floor, and strong acid water is provided by a pipe extended from there. If you try to supply water to each floor under it with the water pressure, the above problem will occur. That is, if the valve is closed at the water supply end on each floor and it is not used for a predetermined time or longer, the electrolyzed water will stay there and the hypochlorous acid concentration and dissolved oxygen content in the water will decrease over time. Can not know this and uses almost as desired acidic water. However, since the electrolyzed water at this time does not contain the above-mentioned components, it does not have a predetermined bactericidal effect, and there is a risk of causing an extremely dangerous situation.
