To be supplied to the branch. Then, the ozone water generated by the ozone water generation device 5 is branched and individually supplied to these devices.

The ozone water generator 5 includes an ozone generator 6
And an ozone mixing device 7. The ozone generator 6
This is a well-known technique in which a chemical action by discharge is obtained by passing air between the discharging electrodes to generate an ozonized gas. The ozone mixing device 7 is a well-known technique for generating ozone water by blowing and dissolving the ozonized gas generated by the ozone generator 6 into water stored in a tank. Excessive ozonized gas that has not been dissolved in water is recovered and reused.

The ozone contained in the ozone water thus generated is an active oxygen species having the strongest oxidizing power next to fluorine in nature in order to easily separate the third atom,
Utilizing this chemically active property, sterilization, deodorization, antifouling,
Effects such as decomposition of organic compounds can be obtained. This active property not only oxidizes the cell walls, cell membranes, chromosomes, DNA, RNA, etc. of the bacteria and provides an antibacterial effect that suppresses the growth of the bacteria, but also has a bactericidal effect that kills it. The effect is far greater than in the case of using a water supply device for toilet flushing. In addition, since ozone is self-decomposed, there is an advantage that there is little persistence and no problems such as secondary pollution occur.

In the water supply apparatus for flushing a toilet constructed as described above, for example, when the ozone water is supplied into the raw tank 1, algae, mold, and slime are generated on the inner surface thereof.
