Apparatus for producing electrolyzed water

An apparatus for generating electrolyzed water comprising an anode plate, a first porous cathode plate and a second porous cathode plate, wherein the first cathode plate and the second cathode plate are provided on opposite sides across the anode plate;

• a first electrolysis chamber is formed between the anode plate and the first cathode plate, a second electrolysis chamber is formed between the anode plate and the second cathode plate, a third electrolysis chamber is formed on the side of the first cathode plate opposite to the anode plate, and a fourth electrolysis chamber is formed on the side of the second cathode plate opposite to the anode plate,
• the anode plate being an anode plate that can block an entrance and exit of water between the first electrolysis chamber and the second electrolysis chamber;
• in each of the first electrolysis chamber and the second electrolysis chamber, an ion-exchange membrane is arranged to be in contact with either the first cathode plate or the second cathode plate so as to form a space allowing water to flow between the anode plate and the ion-exchange membrane;
• a first water path is formed such that water is fed to the first electrolysis chamber, passes through the first electrolysis chamber and then discharged therefrom;
• a second water path is formed such that water is fed to the second electrolysis chamber, passes through the second electrolysis chamber and then discharged therefrom;
• and
• a third water path is formed such that water is fed to one of the third electrolysis chamber or the fourth electrolysis chamber, the treated water discharged from the third electrolysis chamber or the fourth electrolysis chamber is fed to the other of the third electrolysis chamber or the fourth electrolysis chamber and then discharged therefrom.
