Abstract
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
