How do I clean infected water!?

[c.bundy99]

I just infected my only water source with bacteria and have no idea how to clean it. If I don't clean it soon my people are going to die. Please help.

try to plant some reed in your water

Build a Liquid Tepidizer in the water tank, plug it in, and wait. Food Poisoning can't survive heat.

Long term, you will probably want to switch to a boiling setup to handle both the sanitizing and the filtering as a single process, instead of blowing through Sand using the Water Purifier. Polluted Water turns into Steam and Dirt when you boil it, and the Steam will condence into clean Water. Because it is boiled, it is well beyond the survivable range for Food Poisoning, so the Water will also be sanitary.

I've found this boiler design on the official forums. Haven't built it yet, but it looks very interesting.

Depends on what type of germs and what type of water. If you got either germs in clean water, just mob the polluted water and wait it out. All germs die in clean water as long as no polluted water touches it.

It highly depends on each situation but more often than not I use clean (germy) water to produce oxigen/hydrogen. Germs dont affect that and die in the process. :)

the tepidizer work pretty well for low/to mid amount of water if you comfortablee with the electricity generation

it aslo work well for bigger tank but it's a bit slower

huge electrical (noticeably on colony start) cost but that's pretty fair seeing the result it can provide in term of amount of water cleaned cycle, volume, pipe feeding and all

ps at phail:

what i don't like much with this awesome design, in my own way of managing my colony, for the 9900 10k output is it's electrical pump cost, i believe you can get better "electrical cost"/"waters production" second than this compact extreme design productivity amount oriented imho

to me it's sort of a choice with extreme compact but electrical cost mid average efficiency and production ratio rentability, while this compact design open some interesting path as well for baking and all

anyway awesome awesome showcase like some many others across the various forums, kinda advanced & very very interesting heat echanges and else related
