Electrochemical methods using insoluble electrodes and asymmetric alternating current is the most promising area of water treatment from metal ions. However, these methods have certain disadvantages - low degree of purification and high specific energy consumption (1.5-2 (kW·h)/m3). This article presents the results obtained by experimental studies of electrochemical method of water treatment in a non-stationary electric field followed by coagulation, which allows to increase the degree of water purification from metal ions and decrease specific energy consumption (0.34 (kW·h)/m3). The maximum degree of water purification from all specified ions was achieved by passing through it asymmetrical alternating current 300 coulomb/l with application of insoluble dissimilar electrodes (stainless steel 12Х18Н10Т and titanium alloy ОТ 4-0), introducing coagulating agent - ferrous sulphate (FeSO4·7H2O), the initial concentration of which was by 2.5 higher than the initial concentration of each ion removed, and subsequent settling during 10 days.
