Does polyaluminum chloride affect drinking water quality?

Residual chloride will be present, but at low levels that do not adversely affect drinking water quality. Polyaluminum chloride was endorsed by the NHMRC for use as a drinking water treatment chemical in 1979. The revision undertaken in 2003 did not change the status of this chemical for the treatment of drinking water.
