PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water modifying method which enables a reduction of a particle size of water molecule clusters certainly and easily, and a water modifying apparatus. SOLUTION: A cylindrical SPG (Shirazu porous glass) film 1 is used as a water-permeable membrane. The pore size of the SPG film 1 is uniform and can be selected within a range of 0.05-20 μm. Thirty SPG films 1 with a pore size of 0.18 μm are attached to an upper lid 3 and a bottom lid 4 to constitute a cylindrical water-permeable module 2 having a water supply port 5 provided to the upper part. Tap water 7 is introduced into the cylindrical water-permeable module 2 to form water 8 containing small clusters. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
