PURPOSE: To obtain tasty ice by a method wherein a fresh water generator is attached to an automatic ice making device while city water is electrolyzed by the generator to produce alkaline water and acid water.
CONSTITUTION: When city water is supplied from the water reserving tank T of a refrigerator into a fresh water generator C, the city water is electrolyzed by impressing a voltage between electrodes 34, 35 defined by the diaphragm of the fresh water generator C whereby alkaline water and acid water are produced in an alkaline water producing chamber 32 and an acid water producing chamber 33 respectively. Then, only the alkaline water is poured into an ice making pan 16 through an alkaline water introducing tube 43 and a water pouring nozzle 44. When a given period of time has elapsed thereafter, ice is produced. Alkaline ion is dispersed uniformly in the ice, produced in such a manner, whereby the transparency of the ice is high, the ice is provided with weak alkaline property and tasty ice can be obtained.
