am i creating new water?


Recommended Posts

i have a water plumbing loop setup for getting rid of CO2. Starts with a natural polluted water reservoir, pump out to water purifier, clean water goes to CO2 scrubber, polluted output of CO2 scrubber goes back to the reservoir.  After thinking I was getting more water in the reservoir this way, I added a shortcut pipe above/before the CO2 scrubber to send clean water to the reservoir as well.  The reservoir is clearly overflowing now.  When I first dug the access tunnel the reservoir water level was a little below the mesh tiles built at the top of it.

unless melting snow/ice water drips through the abyssalite above the reservoir, i don't think that explains it.

Actually, i think to be more precise, when you dug the shaft down for a ladder, snow/ice blocks fell and sat in the warm polluted water. When it melted later, it created that water pool above the polluted water. I actually think i see some still sat there in the pool.

It's not magic or sorcery.

You connect the pipe from water filtration to the vent.

Well, it may break the scrubber or it may send some clean water to the pool but it should not increase amount of the water. And since clean water is more dense than polluted, I don't think the layering could increase the volume by that much. So my bet is thawing ice as well.
