If a sensor capable of measuring the change of the water level by the water level acquiring unit 70 by using the optical method is used, only when the water of a predetermined quantity or more is supplemented and the water level is raised above the predetermined water level, The control unit 19 can perform the control so that the control unit 20,
- sterilization may proceed.
- the high water level sensor 71 acquires the high water level, sterilization can be started and proceed for a predetermined time. This is a control for sterilization in the initial state, which can increase the efficiency of the subsequent sterilization operation.
- the control unit 19 can control the sterilizing unit 40 to operate the sterilizing unit 40 when an operation command of the sterilizing unit 40 is input. That is, even if the sterilizing unit 40 operates according to a predetermined pattern, the sterilizing unit 40 performs a control to directly perform the generation of the sterilizing material when the user manually inputs the sterilizing operation It is possible.
- the amount of sterilizing material produced by the sterilizing terminal 45 can be adjusted by controlling the magnitude of the power supplied to the sterilizing terminal 45. That is, the controller 19 can control the magnitude of the power supplied to the sterilizing terminal 45.
- the larger the power supplied the greater the amount of chlorine (Cl - ) oxidized to chlorine (Cl 2 ) Therefore, the amount of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) produced by dissolving chlorine (Cl 2 ) in water may increase.
- the amount of electric power to be supplied to the sterilizing terminal 45 to generate the sterilizing material may also be determined by the amount of water, the TDS of water, the area of contact between the sterilizing terminal 45 and water, and the like.
- the amount of water is large, a large amount of sterilizing material may be required since the volume of the area in which the sterilizing material should act is large.

- the TDS of water is high, a sufficient amount of sterilizing material can be produced even if the amount of electric power to be supplied to the sterilizing terminal 45 is reduced. If the TDS of water is low, it may be desirable to increase the magnitude of the electric power to be supplied to the sterilizing terminal 45 to induce sufficient reaction of chlorine ions (Cl < - >).
- the reference TDS can be set to determine the low and high degree of TDS of water, and the reference TDS can be experimentally selected and set in the control unit 19. [ That is, if the TDS of the water is higher than the reference TDS, the controller 19 decreases the magnitude of the power to be supplied to the sterilizing terminal 45. If the TDS of the water is lower than the reference TDS, .
- the area of contact between the sterilization terminal 45 and water is wide, the magnitude of electric power supplied to the sterilization terminal 45 can be reduced. Conversely, if the area of contact between the sterilization terminal 45 and water is narrow, it may be desirable to increase the power supplied to the sterilization terminal 45 to improve the reaction strength.
