FIGS. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the present invention. Water tank attached to the toilet (Tank 4)
The ozone generator 1 is provided outside the tank 4 while the ion generator 2 is provided therein, and ozone is guided from the ozone generator 1 into the tank 4 via the pipe 31. Reference numeral 3 denotes an air compressor, reference numeral 30 denotes a pipe from the air compressor 3 to the ozone generator 1, reference numeral 40 denotes a water injection pipe of the tank 4, reference numeral 41 denotes a drain pipe, and the drain pipe 41 is connected to a toilet. (The description of the mechanism of the drain valve portion of the drain pipe 41 is omitted). The ion generator 2 is submerged at the bottom of the tank 4 so as to always be in the water W.

The air compressed by the air compressor 3 is guided to the pipe 30 and passes through the ozone generator 1. The main part of the ozone generator 1 is shown in FIG. 2. The ozone generator 1 is provided with a tungsten discharge electrode 6 and a tungsten induction electrode 60 on both sides of a thin and uniform high-purity alumina ceramic layer 5, and a high-voltage electrode is provided between both electrodes. By applying a high frequency voltage, a strong creeping streamer discharge is generated on the surface of the alumina ceramic layer 5, and the air passing through the surface is ozonized. Since it is a creeping streamer discharge, there is no problem in mechanical accuracy, and a stable discharge can always be obtained. As a result, stable ozone generation can be expected. As is apparent from the configuration diagram of FIG. 3, each block is modularized according to the amount and concentration of ozone generated.

In this embodiment, the voltage applied between the electrodes is 0.5 V to 1
V-position. The current is about 1 μA. The aluminum electrode 80 side may be made of a suitable metal other than aluminum.
It would be even better if the voltage applied between the electrodes was variable.

As described above, the ozone water blown into the storage water W is further ionized by the ion generator 2. As is known from the electrolysis of water, ions are generated around the aluminum electrode 80 and the platinum titanium electrode 8.

Ozonized water is generated by the ozonized air generated from the ozone generator 1, and sterilization, deodorization and bleaching of the surface of the water storage tank W, the inside of the drain pipe 41 and the water storage itself are performed.
