Chloride ion may be added with [[calcium chloride]], [[sodium chloride]], [[potassium chloride]], or [[magnesium chloride]] salts. When adjusting chloride levels, also consider the relative level of sulfate. See [[Water]] for our guide to adjusting water minerals and mash pH. | Chloride ion may be added with [[calcium chloride]], [[sodium chloride]], [[potassium chloride]], or [[magnesium chloride]] salts.

The drinking water standard limit for chloride is 250 mg/L, which coincides with our suggested maximum level. Therefore, removal of excessive chloride isn't likely something that will be needed. However, purification by [[RO systems|reverse osmosis filtration]] is a good option to remove practically all chloride and other minerals so that the water mineral profile can be built from scratch. | The drinking water standard limit for chloride is 250 mg/L, which coincides with our suggested maximum level.
