PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To sufficiently bring bath water and ozone gas into contact with each other, enhance the disinfecting effect of a filtration material, and at the sue time enhance the massaging effect. SOLUTION: A small amount of high concentration ozone gas is generated in an ozone generator 13 and in an injector 15, the ozone gas is sucked and mixed as fine bubbled with bath water being pumped up to a filtration part 11 by operation of a circulating pump 10 and in the filtration part 11, Escherichia coli and other various germs in the bath water and adhering to the surface of the filtration material of the filtration part 11 are disinfected by ozone and the ozone gas in the finely bubbling state introduced into the filtration part. In this case, the ozone gas remaining in the upper part of the filtration case and a part of the bath water pass in a bypass pipe 24, pass through an ozone decomposing filter 28, and while the concentration of the ozone gas is lowered to approximately zero, the resultant bath water is mixed with bath water flowing down through the bath water discharging pipe 2 from the filtration part 11 and turned back to a bathtub B. To carry out massage, instead of ozone gas, air is mixed with bath water. |
