2. Description of the Related Art In addition to continuously filtering hot water in a bathtub,
A hot water circulation type bathtub device that maintains a constant temperature has been developed, and includes a heating unit that maintains a constant temperature of the hot water and a filtration tank that filters the hot water. In particular, the filtration tank continuously filters hot water to remove foreign matters such as dust and keep it clear. However, this filtration tank not only physically filters hot water with a filter, but also removes ammonia (sweat) and bacteria from the human body.It removes foreign substances contained in the bath water and propagates bacteria. Need to be blocked.

As such a filter, in addition to activated carbon, a porous granular filter has been developed. However, it is inevitable that foreign particles will be accumulated between the granular filters as they are used for a long period of time, and as a means for solving this drawback, a spiral coil is rotatably disposed in the filtration tank of the hot water circulation bath device. There is provided a method of rotating the granular filter to stir and wash the granular filter. However, in this type of apparatus, the apparatus as a whole becomes considerably large and expensive, and it is necessary to provide a gear motor for rotating the spiral coil, and it is a mechanical stirring means. Therefore, the spiral coil directly contacts the granular filter, and
It had the drawback of scratching or cracking the surface.

The present invention is a purifying / activating filter to be put into water in a bathtub, and the substance of this filter is composed of activated carbon, far infrared ceramic and natural ceramic material (mineral stone). The filters have different functions, and they are inexpensive and extremely easy to handle because they need only be put into water.

The activated carbon used in the present invention is for adsorbing and removing chlorine, mold odor, trihalomethane, etc. in water, while the far infrared ceramic particles have a function of activating water, It has a function to stably supply far-infrared energy, and due to this heat effect, it produces a mellow hot water by bacterial growth and sterilization of Escherichia coli, etc. It is generated. It is needless to say that the ceramic itself can be made porous to further exert its function. Examples of natural ceramic particles include tuff zeolite, igneous rock bakuhanseki, taiwanishi, and enoseki.

By encapsulating the mixture of activated carbon, far-infrared ceramic particles and natural ceramic particles in the bag, the mixture can be always kept in one body, and after use, it can be washed and reused. It can be used for. On the other hand, by setting this bag body in the frame composed of a pair of porous plate bodies, it can be handled more easily than directly handling the bag body. The blending ratio of activated carbon, far infrared ceramic particles and natural ceramics is arbitrarily selected depending on the method of use and the situation of use. Normally, the ratio of activated carbon to far infrared ceramic is about 1/10 to 10/1, The far-infrared ceramic and the natural ceramic are used in a ratio of about 1/5 to 5/1, and it goes without saying that other compounding agents may be added thereto.
