In a water purifying apparatus (1) having inner and outer cylindrical electrodes (51,52) concentrically arranged together to form a water channel (500) therebetween, the outer electrode has a plurality of small perforations (55) penetrating therethrough. The electrodes are placed in a water tank (2) reserving raw water. A voltage is applied between the electrodes for causing electrolysis of the raw water in the water channel. As a result of the electrolysis, the raw water is processed into purified water. Resultant gases generated by the electrolysis may be released from the water channel through the small perforations of the electrodes. In addition, the inner electrode may have small perforations penetrating therethrough.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A water purifying apparatus for purifying raw water containing chlorine ions to provide purified water containing effective chlorine for dispensing from said apparatus, said water purifying apparatus comprising:a water tank for reserving said raw water;a cylindrical inner electrode placed in said water tank;a cylindrical outer electrode concentrically arranged around said inner electrode to define a water channel between said inner and said outer electrodes for passing said raw water, said water channel having a first end and an opposite second end;voltage applying means connected to said inner and said outer electrodes for applying a voltage between said inner and said outer electrodes, said voltage causing electrolysis of said raw water in said water channel to process said raw water into said purified water, at least one of said inner and said outer electrodes having a plurality of small perforations penetrating therethrough;an inlet to said water tank for supplying said raw water to said water tank; andan outlet from said water tank for discharging all of said purified water required during a dispensing operation, said outlet being located adjacent only one of said ends of said water channel.
