How do I reduce Chloride

[Jkane101]

This is my water report from ward labs. Got bru'n water sent from Martin and I'm just trying to figure out how to reduce chloride. Im guessing the only way is to dilute with RO?

Looking to brew an APA on my next vrew day

There's a few ways that I'm aware of:
1) Buy spring, distilled or RO water, but quickly gets costly
2) Use a carbon filter is probably the best way to save money long term
3) Use a campden tablet before brewing
4) Boil the water before brewing or let it sit for 1+ days

One thing you'll need to check is how your water is chlorinated (chloramine vs chlorine) as some of the options mentioned will work better for one versus the other.

Campden table is the easiest

He said chloride, not chlorine.

Dilution with RO or DI is your answer.
