How pure does Pure Water need to be?
AllThingsHow’s October 29 run and ProbablyStolenDB both classify water as Pure Water at 99.9% purity or higher. Check the liquid’s actual reading before treating a batch as ready.
Sources: AllThingsHow, 100-REV3 and ProbablyStolenDB, 1.0.0.5.
Choose modules that can reach Pure Water
Quality raises the Water Purifier’s maximum attainable purity; Performance changes processing progress. If the purity ceiling is too low, more Performance will not raise it, and relabeling the liquid will not clean it.
| Quality bonus | Purity ceiling |
|---|---|
| None | 99% |
| +100 | 99.9% |
Those values are ceilings, not promised overnight results. The sample and processing progress still determine the nights needed to reach the target.
Module roles and ceilings: AllThingsHow and ProbablyStolenDB.
How to make and check a batch of Pure Water
- Load a liquid container into the Water Purifier.
- Supply power and let the machine process it overnight.
- Check Max Purity and the actual water quality afterward. Compare the actual reading with the Pure Water threshold above.
Overnight setup and result checks: AllThingsHow and ProbablyStolenDB.
Check your patch before following an older guide
- Official patch 1.0.0.2 reworked Water Purifier logic, so old Demo processing-speed advice needs rechecking.
- Official patch 1.0.0.5 lowered the base price from 300 to 250 Credits. ProbablyStolenDB’s trading guidance distinguishes the base figure from the final deal.
Can Eleanor’s portable purifier make Pure Water?
AllThingsHow records a HydraTech Micro Water Purifier in Eleanor’s thank-you gift branch, but lists the portable device’s result as Basewater. That is not a confirmed direct route to Pure Water, and the recorded gift schedule is not a guarantee for every save.

Version limits
The purity and module details above are attributed third-party findings. A universal completion time, complete contaminant formula and full Moisture Farm route remain unconfirmed here; do not transfer another machine’s parameters to the Water Purifier.
