PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for producing low redox potential drinking, washing or bathing water capable of removing active oxygen without using an electrolytic method which needs an electric source. SOLUTION: By throwing platy metallic magnesium freely attachable to or detachable from a mounting site provided in a water container and an edible acid such as citric acid into the water container, dissolving the hydrogen gas generated as a result of a reaction of the platy metallic magnesium with the edible acid in the water, making the amount of the generated hydrogen to near the maximum solubility of hydrogen in water, the redox potential of the edible acid solution is lowered to zero millivolt. The amount of the magnesium and the edible acid used are selected so that the amount of the hydrogen gas generated becomes to the minimum that in necessary to compensate the amount of hydrogen gas diffused into the atmospheric air. A plurality of platy metallic magnesium are used, and the organic acid is fed by using a constant-volume cup.
