PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrolyzed water producing apparatus for supplying stabilized electrolyzed water at a low cost and an electrolyzed water producing method. SOLUTION: This electrolyzed water producing apparatus is obtained by improving the conventional one having a salt water chamber 2 arranged in an electrolytic cell 1 for housing salt water, a cathode chamber 3 and an anode chamber 4 any of which is arranged adjacently to the chamber 2 for housing the water flowing through an ion-permeable membrane 6 or 7 and a cathode 8 or an anode 9 arranged near the membrane 6 or 7 and a DC power source 46 for supplying electric power to the cathode 8 and the anode 9. A constant current circuit 47 is arranged for keeping almost constant the electric current to be supplied to the source 46. Flow rate regulating parts 12, 13 are arranged for regulating the water amounts to be supplied to the chambers 3 and 4 independently. An air vent 44 is arranged in the upper part of the chamber 2 for venting the air generated in the chamber 2 or flowing into the chamber 2. A salt water supplying tank 16 is arranged for supplying salt water to the chamber 2 through a salt water supplying line 17. A discharge route 43 for discharging the acid water returned to the tank 16 is connected to a route for discharging or withdrawing the electrolyzed water produced in the chamber 4.
