The shape of the purifying device (5) is not particularly limited. Further, the purifying device (5) has various sizes depending on whether it is for home use or business use.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the water in the ordinary bathtub (1) is contaminated with water, the microorganisms increase like the C line after starting the purification device (5). The time it takes for the microorganisms to clean the dirt in the ordinary bathtub (1) water is:
It only takes the time indicated at the point where the C line intersects the D line, which balances normal dirt. When dirt is newly added to the water in the ordinary bathtub (1), as shown in FIG. 2, the time required for the microorganisms to clean the dirt in the water in the ordinary bathtub (1) along with the newly added dirt is B It only takes the time indicated at the point where the line intersects the D line, which balances with normal dirt.

As a result, the addition of new dirt to the water in the ordinary bathtub (1) is shorter than the time when the water in the ordinary bathtub (1) is contaminated. .

The sterilizer (4) is for sterilizing the water in the bath (1). As this sterilization device (4),
The Escherichia coli or the like present in the bathtub (1) water can be normally used as long as it can be sterilized, and it is not particularly limited, but, for example, one using an ultraviolet lamp can be used.

The water pump (3) circulates the water in the bath (1) through the purifier (5) and the sterilizer (4). This water pump (3)
May be one that is normally used.

The supply means supplies nutrients to the microorganisms. The shape of this supply means is not particularly limited. The size of the supply means is
Various things are used according to the distinction such as business use. As an example of the form of the supply means, FIG.
As shown in, a nutrient tank (8) is used. For example, dirt may be supplied as nutrients from the nutrition tank (8) as described above. By doing so, as shown in FIG. 2, it takes the time shown at the point where the B line intersects with the D line that balances with the ordinary dirt, and as a result, the ordinary bathtub (1) is less than the dirty water. However, the time when the microorganisms increase is shortened when the dirt is newly added to the dirt in the water of the ordinary bath (1).
