The spiral member 210 has an inverted cone shape in which the outer diameter is reduced from the upstream to the downstream direction. Since the spiral member 210 having such a configuration is installed in the intermediate casing 110, water flowing from the upper casing 121 to the lower casing 123 is guided and flows by the spiral rib 220 in a spiral shape. That is, water flows while swirling between the outer circumferential surface of the spiral member 210 and the inner circumferential surface of the intermediate casing 110. As described above, when water flows in the form of small stones by the spiral member 210, the structure of the water changes according to the principle of vortex, thereby making the water beneficial to the human body.

Water flowing under a certain centrifugal force passes through the intermediate casing 110 and is led in a spiral form by the spiral member 210 to pass therethrough. At this time, as the water passes through the magnetic field by the magnet member 510, the molecular structure of the water is changed to a hexagonal water beneficial to the human body. The water flowing in the vortex form is diffused into the lower casing 213 by the water diffusion member 310 and falls. As the water diffuses in this way, the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water increases, which is more beneficial to the human body.

In addition, the water stored in the lower casing 213 is converted into functional water by the bio-ball 410 to add a component beneficial to the human body, the harmful component is inactivated. The taste of water is improved by the bioball 410. In this manner, the water having various functional parts is discharged through the water outlet 140, so that people can drink.
