I'm using one for my 2 electrolizers. It was easier providing them water from a polluted geyser with food poisoning then having to cool water from a Cool stem vent enough that it didn't really jack up the temp of the 02 coming out of my SPOM. The water from the P geyser ends up being 88F after a sieve cleans it. The water from a Cool steam vent is 160 or so. I'm using an Anti entrhopic thermo whatever thingy to cool the air to an avg of like 70deg F with the 88deg water. I tried switching to the 160 deg water and my air was suddenly over 100!!! Now I'm even using the SAME thermo thing to cool my air AND the 88 deg water down to the 70s...yah thats right, both are coming out of it in the 70s. And I'm storing a lot of hydrogen that my 2 SPOM hydrogen generators aren't using because I haven't gotten around to hooking them up to my power grid. (it's on the other side of the map... blah, running high wattage wires that far is annoying... or even insulated pipes and another hydrogen generator in my main power brick. ) ---Granted, I just might end up running out of clean water still because the degerming setup I'm using might not keep up with the demand. I'm not sure why... I 'm currently thinking it's the sieve that the Pwater goes through first. It's output is less then a pump which means it takes longer for the liquid resivor in the chlorine chamber to fill up. ---and then I watch more of the video and you don't have a sieve going into the chamber. So yah, probably the sieve.
I always build these early on in conjunction with an infinite bathroom loop but I usually keep the pressure at 1800g min because I tack on a Water Sieve. The pressure keeps anything from off gassing and it's also a good place to store any bleach stone.
I've always just recirculated bathroom water back into itself since sinks never cared about using germy water. Unless a recent patch changed that. Excess toilet water could be fed into thimble reed or food crops as plant eat the germs and give you a germ-free product.
@@tuxiiindustries I actually cycle/store the excess clean water into my main reservoir. My setup goes output, sieve, input, then reservoirs. I actually haven't found a good use for polluted water, germ-y or otherwise, outside of early game reeds or emergency water. My chlorine room also only ever has 2-3 tanks regardless of if I have automation or not. That way I could set it up as early as cycle 30 and it'll keep until I'm ready to automate it with or without plastic.
Did not know that it had to be a tank! I always use tank, but also thought you needed to snake the pipe around a large room filled with chlorine too. 🙈
I prefer the design that is around 4-5 tanks in size with automation on a door for the last one to stop it from outputting liquid till they are all full. That number of tanks(filled with liquid by the automation) guarantee the liquid coming out is always germ free. It uses no power.
I had the exact same setup as the first example but the germ sensor stops detecting when there is couple hundred germs left in the tank, my output clean tank end up getting contaminated sometimes, have you seen that issue before?
When the tank gets down to about 1500 germs it starts piping out water with 0 germs due to how the game rounds down. So it does start outflowing before the tank is completely germ-free but it doesn't matter since the outflow is sanitary. I only encountered issues when I forgot to set the germ sensor. Maybe some gets through when reloading the save, I didn't test that.
Yeah, I never bother to disinfect, degerminate, nor purifying my polluted water after I have the access to magma or volcano. Even for a food poisoned clean water. Just reboil them good.
