When the water tank 200 recovers water rapidly, since the air in the water tank 200 is connected with the air in the water-gas separation device 100, the gas in the water tank 200 can be accelerated to be discharged, thereby avoiding affecting the speed of recovering water. Further, when the water tank 200 is filled with water, the overflowed water may enter the water-gas separation device 100 through the float 260, the air hose 261, the drain port 212, and the air pressure balance port 180.
