Apparatus for producing regenerative water and method of producing regenerative water using the same

An apparatus for producing regenerative water, comprising:

• a main body having a hollow container shape, the main body having:
• a water inlet port through which raw water is supplied into the main body;
• a water outlet port formed at a position adjacent to the water inlet port so that regenerative water is discharged out of the main body through the water outlet port;
• and a drain port discharging an excess of raw water or regenerative water;
• a basket provided in the main body such that a lower end of the basket is spaced apart from a bottom of the main body by a predetermined distance, the basket allowing the raw water to pass through the bottom or sidewall thereof;
• a regenerative substance block contained in the basket, the regenerative substance block being dissolved by the raw water, supplied into the main body, by a predetermined amount;
• and
• an on/off valve provided on the water outlet port,
• wherein the raw water dissolves the regenerative substance block in the main body for a predetermined duration to produce regenerative water, and when the on/off valve is opened, the regenerative water produced in the main body is supplied through the water outlet port into a soft water tank containing ion exchange resins.
