How do you remove chloride from well water?

Published in Water Purification 1 min read

The most effective methods to remove chloride from well water are reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, and distillation systems.

Here's a breakdown of these methods:

  • Reverse Osmosis (RO): RO uses pressure to force water through a semi-permeable membrane, filtering out chloride and other contaminants.

  • Electrodialysis (ED): ED uses an electrical current to separate chloride ions from the water. The ions are drawn through membranes, leaving purified water behind.

  • Distillation: Distillation involves boiling the water and collecting the steam. The steam is then condensed back into water, leaving the chloride and other non-volatile contaminants behind.
