In Israel they add minerals back in because the desalinated water is too pure.

I've vaguely known that what the taste is related to minerals. Does anyone know what kind of minerals they're adding back in?
Usually a combination of calcium carbonate (or bicarbonate for solubility), calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and or the sulfate versions of the chlorides.
