Chloride in water treatment

Chloride in water treatment refers to the presence of chloride ions, which naturally occur or come from sources like salts and industrial activities. While chloride itself is not typically harmful at low levels, high concentrations can indicate contamination and may contribute to corrosion of pipes. In water treatment, managing chloride levels is important to ensure water quality and infrastructure longevity. Treatment methods like reverse osmosis or mixing with lower-chloride water can reduce chloride content. Overall, controlling chloride helps maintain safe, clean water suitable for drinking and other uses.
