How can I deal with germy-water?

[Kabrute]

for irrigation purposes bacteria are harmless so sieve the water, run it through 1 tuner, you get 26c water and you can irrigate with that, germs wont matter there

1. No, I mean, the water it puts out, is the water 40C? Cause I can't irrigate with that.

2. How would an aqua-tuner help with bacteria?

1. that's why I use aqua tuners with water sieves to irrigate my crops

3. aqua tuners heat up the surrounding water just like a tepidizer, you just get the added benefit of cooling the water you have piped though it

Does it heat up the water enough to kill bacteria?

In addition to this.  (edit) Germs in the irrigation water don't matter. The only cases where it'll get your dupes sick are recipes in the microbe musher. Also, replace all your water coolers with espresso machines. So, don't use water coolers or musher recipes and it literally won't matter if your water has germs.

it can if you automate the pumps with temp and germ sensors but it might be a bit slow

But honestly putting a reservoir in a chlorine filled room like I suggested at the start of the thread is the easiest option so far

thats not an elaboration thats an addendum, this is an elaboration.  Germ water piped directly to hydroponics tiles stores the germs in the tiles storage never transferring the germs to the plant or its fruit.  It will only release the germs if you deconstruct the tile while it has water in it.

In that case I've edited one thing in my statement that seems factually incorrect..

While true, I do not believe OP is on the preview branch, and as such does not have access to the Reservoir structures.

that should change in the next 3 days

That update was so PW wouldn't off gas PO2 while in the tank

So it's done, PW not longer produce PO2 when in the liquid tank, and we can always disinfect by surrounding the tank with chlorine?

As of now, yes. Subject to change in the next build.

So i will wait to make a chlorine room

Germs die faster in cold temperature. And extremely fast near freezing point.

germ will die out in the chlorine environment or too hot or too cold
