The study examines the prospects of industrial applications of cavitation disintegration of silver and copper substrates for water treatment of swimming pools. We determined the indices affecting the process efficiency. The article shows the results of studying the different metals wear quantity. The paper also provides the experimental evaluation of silver and copper particles size, the particles being formed in cavitation treatment process in the hydrodynamic flow unit of the original design under the same hydrodynamic conditions and exposure duration. We visualized the metal substrates surface erosion and present the data of field studies.
