The object of the present invention is to provide a faucet apparatus in which both the area for the air inlet port and the area for the babble-water flow discharge port are secured, without excessively increasing sizes of a faucet aerator cap and a faucet apparatus. The air inlet port is provided in a lateral surface of the faucet aerator cap. The flow channel of the spout is provided with a communication port for guiding air between the outside wall and the flow channel toward the air inlet port.

Faucet apparatus

An automatic water faucet deviceincludes: an electrolysis tankthat electrolyzes water to generate electrolyzed water; a second water discharge partfor discharging the electrolyzed water, a second flow paththat extends from the electrolysis tankto the second water discharge part; a second solenoid valvethat switches between supply and blocking of normal water with respect to the electrolysis tank, and a controllerthat controls the electrolysis tankand the second solenoid valve. The controllerenergizes the electrolysis tankto discharge the electrolyzed water and thereafter stops the energization of the electrolysis tankand maintains an open state of the second solenoid valve, to stop the supply of the electrolyzed water to the second flow pathand to supply normal water to the second flow path
