1. A continuous production type electrolysis unit for improving water quality, comprising:

  • an electrolysis chamber;

    a pair of substantially cylindrical electrodes positioned concentrically in said electrolysis chamber with one forming an inner cylindrical wall and the other forming an outer cylindrical wall;

    a substantially cylindrical ion-exchanging membrane disposed between and spaced from said cylindrical electrodes so as to form two separate substantially circular water paths with one being radially outside said membrane and the other being radially inside said membrane, said paths having thin widths;

    a pair of supporting members removably fixed, respectively, to the ends of said electrode forming the inner cylindrical wall and means fixing the ends, respectively, of said membrane to said pair of supporting members for supporting said substantially cylindrical membrane at least at both ends thereof so as to maintain said membrane in said substantially cylindrical form, one of said pair of supporting members including a passage communicating the inside water path with a water inlet port; and

    said electrode forming the inner cylindrical wall, said pair of supporting members, said membrane, and said fixing means forming an assembly unitarily removable from and insertable into the electrode forming the outer cylindrical wall.
