Etymology

Past participle of dechloridize. The -ed ending indicates completion of the process or resulting state.

Kelly Says

When a water quality report says water is 'dechloridized,' it means the chloride salts have been removed, but the term is so technical that most people just say the water is 'purified' or 'treated'.
