PURPOSE:To reduce the extent of consumption of the anode and the cathode and to inhibit the progress of deterioration in the electrical characteristics by placing a rectifying means between the electrodes or in the electrical connecting line between the electrodes. CONSTITUTION:An electrolytic cell 2 is provided with the anode 3 and the cathode 4 and the electrodes 3, 4 are connected to the power source 6 of a rectifier through electrical lines 7, 8. A rectifying circuit 18 contg. a rectifying element such as a diode is newly connected to the electrical line 7 as the electrical connecting line between the power source 6 and the anode 3 in series in the forward direction. Seawater is then electrolyzed as an electrolytic soln. for a limited time and the inverse current is measured, the quantity of the inverse current is about 1/3 of the conventional quantity.
