What is the recommended chloride level in tap water?

50 PPM
75 PPM
100 PPM
150 PPM

The correct answer is: 100 PPM

The recommended chloride level in tap water is 100 PPM (parts per million). This level is considered safe for various uses, including medical device reprocessing in healthcare facilities. Chloride levels lower than recommended might not effectively remove soil and debris from surgical instruments, while levels higher than recommended could potentially cause damage to the instruments. Therefore, it is crucial to adhere to the recommended chloride level to ensure proper instrument cleaning and maintenance.
