The electrolyzed water contains ozone and free chlorine. The concentration of the ozone and the concentration of the free chlorine, where the latter is y (ppm) and the former is x (ppm), satisfy all the requirements expressed by equation 1: y ≥ 4.1079e-18.35x, equation 2: 0.1 ≤ y < 5, and equation 3: 0 < x < 3.
