Abstract: A water treating apparatus is provided which is capable of producing a hypochlorous acid-containing electrolytic water having a satisfactory sterilizing ability in a household. The water treating apparatus is an apparatus for producing hypochlorous acid in for-treatment water containing a salt by use of an electrochemical reaction which occurs in the for-treatment water when a direct current voltage is applied to at least a pair of electrodes oppositely disposed in the for-treatment water, wherein the direct current voltage to be applied to the electrodes is obtained by smoothing an alternating voltage of domestic use power supply into direct current power of a predetermined voltage, an electrode having titanium covered with a coating containing at least palladium or ruthenium is used as an anode, and at most 90% of the salt added to the for-treatment water is converted into hypochlorous acid by the electrochemical reaction.

Abstract: Sanitary foot warm bath equipment is provided which prevents or suppresses proliferation of saprophytic bacteria in a foot bath. The foot warm bath equipment is foot warm bath equipment which reserves hot water for foot bathing in a foot bath, the equipment comprising heating means for heating water in the foot bath to produce hot water of setting temperature, electrolytic water producing means for producing electrolytic water containing hypochlorous acid by electrolyzing the water, and control means for controlling the heating means and the electrolytic water producing means, wherein the electrolytic water produced by the electrolytic water producing means is supplied into the foot bath.

Abstract: Disclosed is an air blower apparatus for conditioning a room, including synthetic resin components which come in contact with air flow. The synthetic resin components are molded from polypropylene resin, to which at least one antimicrobial agent selected from diphenylethers, N-haloalkylthio compounds, benzimidazoles, organic arsine compounds and metal alumino-silicate hydrate is mixed prior to molding of the components.
