Method and device for producing electrolytic water

A device for producing electrolytic water having an electrolytic degree, comprising:

• an electrolyzer having at least one anode chamber with an anode electrode and at least one cathode chamber with a cathode electrode, said chambers partitioned from one another by at least one ion-permeable barrier membrane;
• a raw water supply passage for supplying raw water into said electrolyzer;
• at least one flow control mechanism provided on said raw water supply passage;
• means for injecting an electrolyte solution to said raw water flowing through said raw water supply passage;
• discharge passages connected to said respective anode and cathode chambers;
• at least one flow control mechanism provided on at least one of said discharge passages;
• sensor means provided on at least one of said raw water supply passage and discharge passages for detecting an electrolytic degree of at least one of said raw water and said electrolytic water;
• and
• a control unit for controlling at least one of in said electrolyzer, a supply flow quantity of said raw water, and a discharge flow quantity of said electrolytic water responsive to at least one output signal of said sensor means;
• wherein said barrier membrane is movably supported in said electrolyzer by a rotating lever provided at one end with a magnetic yoke which is magnetically attracted by a selected one of plural electromagnets to move said barrier membrane responsive to the electrolytic degree of the electrolytic water discharged from said electrolyzer, to correlatively vary a capacity of each of said anode and cathode chambers.
