The paper presents the results of research into the influence of low-frequency sound and magnetic fields on the change in the properties of water and its purification in a vibrating machine with an eccentric drive, which allows obtaining a constant amplitude of oscillation when the frequency of oscillations of the drive is changed. A method and construction of a vibrating machine for changing the properties of water and cleaning is proposed. Thanks to its reciprocating movement, and in the pulsation chamber and the nozzle, appropriate reactions take place. At certain oscillation frequencies, a cavitation cavity appears in the nozzle and the pulsation chamber, in which the process of splitting water molecules into active radicals takes place. At the same time, during the reciprocating movement of water through a non-magnetic nozzle, which is covered by permanent magnets, an additional effect of a variable magnetic field direction is exerted on water, which strengthens the breaking of hydrogen bonds in water molecules. Visualization of the hydrocavitation process during operation of a vibrating machine with a transparent nozzle was studied. During the experiment, changes in water parameters were studied, i.e. changes in pH, changes in the oxidation-reduction potential of treatment ORP and the total content of mineralization according to the TDS index with treatment time. The total concentration of dissolved salts decreases from 400 to 300 units, which also indicates an improvement in water quality. The rational frequency limits of the vibration drive of the machine are in the range from 18 to 23 Hz with an amplitude of oscillations of 0.002 m, and the ratio of its design parameters is determined: with a piston diameter of 0.1 m, it is recommended to use a diameter of the hole in the piston from 0.006 to 0.008 m.
