Abstract
An ion elution unit generates metal ions by applying a voltage between electrodes. Terminals are formed integrally to the electrodes. An interval between the electrodes becomes narrower from an upstream side to a downstream side with respect to a water current flowing through an inside of a casing of the ion elution unit. Terminals that are so laid as to run from the electrodes out of a casing of the ion elution unit are disposed on an upstream side with respect to a water current flowing through an inside of the casing.

2. An ion elution unit generating metal ions by applying a voltage between electrodes, comprising:
-
a casing having a water inlet and a water outlet allowing a water current to flow through the casing, constantly in a horizontal direction, from the inlet to the outlet; and terminals that are so laid as to extend from the electrodes and out of the casing, the terminals being disposed on an upstream side with respect to the water current flowing through an inside of the casing, wherein the electrodes extend along a direction of water flowing out of the inlet.
