Abstract

An apparatus for generating ozone, oxygen, hydrogen, and/or other products of water electrolysis, having an electrolyte cell that can be acted upon by water. The water is delivered and carried away in a supply line communicating with the electrolyte cell, wherein a bypass line is embodied around the supply line. The electrolyte cell can be connected via the bypass line to the supply line and subjected to water from the supply line. A valve engaging the supply line and the bypass line is provided, and with the valve, the supply line and the bypass line can be opened and/or closed.
