Electrodeionization (EDI) is a water treatment technology that utilizes DC power, ion exchange membranes, and ion exchange resin to deionize water, thereby removing trace minerals that function as anions and cations. By itself, it does not remove other contaminants, including pathogens, organic compounds, or dissolved gases. EDI is typically employed as a polishing treatment following reverse osmosis (RO), and is used in the production of ultrapure water. It differs from other RO polishing methods, like chemically regenerated mixed beds, by operating continuously without chemical regeneration.

Electrodeionization can be used to produce high purity water, reaching electrical resistivity values as high as 18.2 MΩ/cm.
