We examine phase separation in aqueous mixtures at fixed amounts of hydrophilic monovalent ions. When water is the minority component, preferential solvation can stabilize water domains enriched with ions. This ion-induced precipitation occurs in wide ranges of the temperature and the average composition where the solvent would be in one-phase states without ions. The volume fraction of such water domains is decreased to zero as the interaction parameter $\chi$ (dependent on the temperature) is decreased toward a critical value for each average composition.
