Potassium and Sodium. Sodium is the main electrolyte involved in maintaining water balance within the body. When the sodium level becomes too high, an urge to drink water, (I.E. Thirst) develops increasing water intake. When the sodium level becomes low, the kidneys produce more urine to help maintain the balance.
