mathem99 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Hello, everyone! This is my first long-term world on Oxygen Not Included after its Launch Upgrade and I've been having a blast! My problem has been with the Water Sieve, I was fooled to believe that it complete cleaned polluted water from germs, but this is not the case. From a few guides I've read they recommend using Liquid Tepidizers to warm up water and destroy germs. What I wanted to ask is, if I use this method: how can I use automation to make a small tank, where I will output my heated and cleaned water, at a very specific amount where it will then stop and use another liquid pump and from there it'll go in the Thermo Aquatuner and drop into my main, clean water tank. Another method I wanted to ask any Oxygen Not Included player with experience is if I can skip the Liquid Tepidizers and use a Cool Steam Vent as a way of cleaning my germs-infested water, by that I mean: pipe the polluted water after it's been cleaned by the Water Sieve into the pool with the Cool Steam Vent and let it destroy the germs and afterwards with another liquid pump transfer it into my main, clean water tank. If none of these 2 methods above are efficient, does anyone know any other way of cleaning the water? Here are some pictures of my crappy, bad, poorly-made base: Spoiler Center of my base, included is my polluted water tank and "clean" water tank and a jumble of a mess called "Power Plant" room The upper level of my base, nothing of interest here. The Cool Steam Vent and a pre-built Thermo Aquatuner I made. On the right of my base is the Salt Water Geyser and a pool of polluted water I had been transferring to my polluted water tank. I hope someone can help me, thank you in advance! -mathem99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemie Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Why clean it? It is fine as is for all uses except mush bars and expresso machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best way of cleaning germs out of liquid is to store the liquid in liquid reservoirs, keep the liquid in the reservoir for approximately 200 seconds (1/3 cycle) in a chlorine atmosphere. There are a few good builds for this around which will probably get posted before I get home to link it myself. @chemiedoes have a point as food poisoning in water only affects a couple things and is actually beneficial when run through deoxidizers, but I personally do disinfect all germed water.

Derp. I'm an idiot. I forgot I have my desktop bookmarks on my phone. Here's the link to Saturnus's post that is the one I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Micah Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 There is a point in sanitizing water, it just depends on the intended use of the water. For food poisoning germs to affect your dupes it has to be ingested (using contaminated water to make mushbars, or fill a water-cooler/expresso machine). Otherwise we couldn't use sieved water in bathroom loops without sanitizing first. Liquid reservoir surrounded by chlorine is the best option.

Craigjw Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I wanted to be sure that my polluted water was extra clean, so I used the above method and also the Septic Tank. I'm not sure if tonyroids is quite the same as the one i've made, but it cleans mostly, I've noticed that the 3rd tank in the series sometimes has 1-2k germs in it, so that's why I added the extra fail-safes.

RoquefortMonti Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Вот моя система очистки воды от бактерий. С права два элементных сенсора на воду. С лева микробный. Цель - сделать эту систему полностью автономной. Что позволяет увеличить количество выходной жидкости поставив рядом такой же ещё один бак. Которые не зависимы Друг от друга. Один бак - одна очистка. Если не понятно, могу кинуть ссылку на видео. Как-то так ..) всем добра) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonyroid's is a good one, but I prefer the one in Saturnus's post within that thread that I directly linked to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget lice loaves as they need water too. Also, germs on mushbars are trivial once you have the grill, as turning them into mushfry will also kill off any germs present.

nakomaru Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 While we're mentioning designs, Yunru's is the best. Requires essentially no tech and offers 10kg/s throughput. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
