  • Patent number: 5316646
    Abstract: A control apparatus which can control a continuous electrolytic ion water producing apparatus so that determination and indication of energization and electrolyzing capacity of an electrolytic cell and determination and indication of a life of a filter cartridge are performed appropriately. A control unit connected to a power source circuit of the electrolytic cell includes an electrolysis judging device which judges, based on a signal of a flow rate sensor and a signal of a range change-over switch whether or not an electrolyzing operation should be performed. When the electrolyzing judging device judges that an electrolyzing operation should be performed, a power source switch is turned on to cause the power source circuit to energize the electrolytic cell to perform an electrolyzing operation. On the contrary when it is judged that an electrolyzing operation should not be performed, the electrolysis judging device turns off the power source switch to put the electrolytic cell into a deenergized condition.

  • Patent number: 5306409
    Abstract: A controlling apparatus which can control a continuous electrolytic ion water producing apparatus so that the electrolyzing capacity of an electrolytic cell is kept fixed against a variation of the flow rate or the quality of water upon passage of water to always achieve optimization and stabilization of electrolytic ion water produced. When water flows through the electrolytic cell, it is energized by a power source circuit to electrolyze the water to obtain electrolytic ion water. When a range change-over switch is manually operated, a dc voltage of the power source circuit is controlled in response to the range change-over switch by a control unit and a switching regulator to produce an electrolyzing voltage corresponding to the operated position of the range change-over switch. The water is thus electrolyzed with an electrolyzing strength of the electrolyzing voltage.
