WATER SUPPLY DEVICE, WATER SUPPLY METHOD, AND WASHING MACHINE HAVING WATER SUPPLY DEVICE

摘要

A water supply device (300) is provided with an ion elusion unit (100) and a shower spray section (200). The shower spray section (200) converts water obtained from the ion elusion unit (100) through a connecting pipe (250) into shower form to spray over washing. The shower-like liquid drops are small in diameter, easy to dry, so that crystals of smaller particle diameter (greater surface area), full of lattice defects, and easy to dissolve can be produced. Such crystals adhere to the washing. Therefore, when these crystals come in contact with moisture, it becomes easier for silver ions in the liquid drops to eluate. Further, even in the case where the washing is a water repellent fabric or hydrophobic fabric, the fabric surface will dry before its water is repelled. Thus, antibacterial effects due to silver ions can be given to such washing.
