[0015]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained. 1. In the case of the first water quality improver and the first method of use The combination of calcium carbonate and magnesium chloride changes the water quality from weakly acidic to alkaline, makes the taste of drinking water delicious, and eliminates the smell of mold and mold by deodorizing action. It can be adjusted to an appropriate hardness. 2. In the case of the second water quality improver and the second method of use A. Since the water quality improver according to the present invention is in a powder form, it is surely combined with tap water acid, and the economic effect is large. B. As is evident from the results of the following Hokkaido Prefectural Institute of Public Health tests, while the pH of immersed 100 g of shell fossil as raw stone in 1 liter of tap water is 8.3,
The pH was found to be 8.9 when 1 g of tap water was immersed in 50 g of fine powder of shell fossil calcium, indicating a great effect. In addition, the fine powder of shell fossil calcium is well mixed with powdered magnesium chloride,
The hardness of drinking water can be adjusted, and the taste of water improves. The synergistic effect of calcium and magnesium for maintaining and improving human health is apparent from, for example, the following. As researched by Dr. Frekenstein of Germany and Dr. Ken Kondo of Japan, calcium has the effect of excreting magnesium in the body. Will be able to demonstrate,
It contributes to improving the taste of domestic water.

C. Specifically, the following effects were confirmed. Analysis test result of Hokkaido Prefectural Institute of Public Health Category Otaru-shi, Tokyo Raw acidity 6.9 6.7 Supernatant acidity with second water quality modifier 8.9 8.1 Total hardness of raw water 19.5 56.2 Second water quality modifier Total added hardness 95.1 140.6 Remarks For 1 to 1 liter of tap water, second water quality improver 5
The acidity and hardness when 0.1 g is added are shown. Remark 2-Raw water in Tokyo is tap water (Tone River 70%, Tama River 30% mixed water). Remark 3-Acidity and total hardness of commercially available mineral water (Hokkaido Noboribetsu Toyoura Orofure Sankeisui) are as follows. Acidity 6.8 Total hardness 47.0 D.I. The fossil calcium as a main raw material is insoluble in water because its main component is calcium carbonate, and combines with a trace amount of acid in tap water to dissolve 50.1 g of the second water quality improver in one year. The above is also necessary. On the other hand, since magnesium chloride extracted from seawater has the property of being easily dissolved in water, in order to exhibit the synergistic effect of calcium and magnesium, the use of supernatant water is set for about half a month, and the precipitated paste is cooked. It can be used in cooking, coffee, etc. to compensate for calcium deficiency in the human body, and is effective in preventing diabetes, osteoporosis, arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction, stroke and the like. As a demonstration example, bone mineral content was increased and cholesterol decreased. In this case, as described above, 50.1 g of the second water quality improver is added to 1 liter of tap water, and after 24 hours, the use of the supernatant water is continued for 2 weeks, and the precipitated paste is cooked and cooked. Calcium can be supplemented by adding it to coffee or the like. As an example, for a family of three, the second water quality improver 50.1 g
If two pieces are used for one month, 1 g per person will be consumed per day, and if this absorption rate is assumed to be 30%, 1 g is consumed.
It can be supplemented daily with 288 mg, and can be supplemented with 800 mg in combination with the calcium absorption of 540 mg (published by the Ministry of Health and Welfare), which is extremely effective for promoting health maintenance.

3. In the case of the third water quality improver and the third method of use A. Specifically, the following effects were confirmed. Hokkaido Prefectural Institute of Public Health Analysis Test Result Category Otaru-shi Tokyo Metropolitan Raw Acidity 6.9 6.9 Supernatant Hydroxic Acid with Third Water Quality Improvement Agent 8.7 8.2 Total Raw Water Hardness 19.0 70.6 Third Water Quality Improvement Agent Total hardness added 91.5 105.0 Remarks This is a display when 2 g of the third water quality improver is added to 1 to 18 liters of raw water. Remark 2-Tokyo is Edogawa water system. Remark 3-Acidity and total hardness of commercially available mineral water (Hokkaido Noboribetsu Toyoura Orofure Sankeisui) are as follows. Acidity 6.8 Total hardness 47.0 B. This can be achieved with the main purpose of improving the quality of tap water. That is, for example, there are water purification facilities in Tokyo that perform chlorine disinfection and removal of impurities by activated carbon, but tap water is called bad water mixed with microorganisms such as odors of mold, mold, trihalomethane, and cryptosporidium. There is also. In the case where a large amount of such tap water is used as drinking water, such as water for daily life of ordinary people, restaurants and coffee shops, etc., the present invention can easily and easily treat the tap water to help health, and provide abundant good water at low cost. Can be supplied. In this case, the most important point is that it is alkaline, and the hardness can be adjusted. About 100 total hardness of drinking water becomes delicious water, and can exhibit flavor peculiar to food. Conversely, when there is an excess of calcium, the inherent acidity of coffee and the like is destroyed. In the case of excess magnesium, astringency occurs. Therefore, the mixing ratio is important. Specifically, 2 g of the third water quality improver was placed in an 18-liter plastic tank,
Open your mouth and let air carbon dioxide inhale and dissolve naturally.
After 24 hours, boil for 5 minutes in a 1.8 liter kettle or electric pot and use. Drinking as cold water at 3-5 ° C. results in delicious water, and the substance called bad water will disappear.
