You need to go to an area that is polluted to get polluted water. There are some areas you can settle.
Blackfell Oil fields is where i have set up. There's other areas that are insanely polluted think one is near ribbley just to the north of the docks. Ground will be black and the trees look dead that is also a higher pollution area I believe.

Walk around close to the settlement but pay attention to the cradle(backpack) for when it beeps with a number on that shows the pollution level. Set your base down there and set up the pumps.
How to make acid
Polluted water from the pumps with Dirty water into an Osmosis filter bench will create pure water and impure acid. Both of those go into the brewing barrel to create acid.
Power wise both the pump, osmosis bench and barrel need power.
You can automate it but you have to get the height right for each one but it can flow into each other automatically with pipes connected.

So look for the pollution level count. THen place a pump and its just a case of keep moving till you find it creating polluted water in the working pump

Ah yes, I have the same issue with as you before. It took me 2 days to find a place that was empty and I could set up my base.

So my tip for you is to find a place that has monsters nearby, and the stardust pollution shows(% on your bagpack). Where you can move your base (since the system won't allow you to move it too close to area) your house doesn't need to be literally ON there, but your territory.
Where you set up your pumps, I set mine on the ground. It should be where the % of the stardust pollution is showin up on your bagpack. Like my area, not everywhere is filled with stardust pollution, just my front yard. That's where I put my pumps. If you've done it correctly, you should be getting **POLLUTED Water**, not dirty water. Once you pump those out, take it to a filter and filter those out for impure acid then take it to a barrel to ferment for acid. :)

You can check the beach right to the HP Evolution insitute. There's a lot of polluted space and you can get polluted water from the sea
