Abstract: Water is a basic necessity in human life, water consists of mineral elements, one of which is chloride. If
chloride in water is too much, it can cause water quality degradation causing the water to be not suitable for
irrigation and human need. The aim of this study is to find out if the chloride content in drinking water refill
in Purwodadi-Kras Kediri village has met the requirement as per PERMENKES RI NO 492 / MENKES /
PER / IV / 2010 or not. The study uses quasi experiment design method, the sample was collected through
non-random sampling technique. The samples are analyzed by using argentometric mohr method with
standard solution of AgNO

) contained in drinking water refill packing in
the village of Purwodadi Kras-Kediri was to 7.32 Mg/L. This study concludes that the chloride content in
drinking water refills in the village Purwodadi-Kras Kediri has met the requirements of PERMENKES RI
NO 492 / MENKES / PER / IV / 2010, which is more than 250 mg/L.
1 INTRODUCTION
Water is basic needs of human life and its function
cannot be replaced by another compound (F. G.
Winarno 1986). Drinking water is not only the
problems related to available or failure water but
also the quality of waters available. The indications
of clean drinking water are colourless, odourless,
tasteless (salted, acid), not contains a chemical that
endangers, does not contain are bacterium causing a
disease and forth (T. Gilarso, 2004). In a body of
water useful as soluble substance food substance,
digest food, and regulating body temperature. The
human body is composed of 60-70 % water, under
normal circumstances the human body need 2.5
litres of water every day. Water consisting of non-
metallic minerals required by man for development
or physical growth man, several chemical elements
that are contained in water covering Ca, Mg, Cl, Fe
and so on.
Water also has a role so long, including as a
means of transport digestion food to the network, as
transport leftovers to terminal as shelter kidneys and
out as urine, as a supplement hormone be produced
by the enzyme. bearing heat its surface of the skin
out as sweat (Hertog Nursanyoto, 1992).
Those compounds subjected to the process of
dissociation in water so as to form ions. The ion also
cannot be oxidized under normal circumstances and
not in nature are toxic, but if excess salt chloride can
result in a decrease in the quality of water so that the
water unfit for irrigation and to meet domestic life
(Achmad Rukaesih, 2004).
The village of purwodadi districts Kras regency
Kediri, for packaged drinking water are very popular
among all these the village community, since their
prices relative affordable and then be used as an
alternative form of drinking water for some of the
residents without regard to the quality of water what
is happening to them. Becomes one of the
requirements standart drinking water would have to
fulfill standart physics, bacteriology, as well as
standart chemical, one of which is the womb
chloride (Cl
-
) that does not be sold more than 250
mg/l. those conditions are in accordance with
