Apparently, everyone apart from the PC has the idea of using empty bottles with purified water from sinks. Megaton also has its own purifier. No clue as to how they work... I can only assume that the water chips from dead vaults were scavenged or something.

A water chip isn't necessary for purifying water, unless you're spending potentially thousands of years in a sealed environment with limited resources. In the wastes water can be purified with scavenged pre-war tech, clever tinkering, inventiveness, or some combination of those. With Tenpenny, I'm just guessing he was lucky enough to find it all laid out in working order for him to take.

Where Does It Come From?

Where does the purified water come from? All natural water and water from sinks and toilets in the wasteland is irradiated. Perhaps other people escaped from vaults, taking lots of pure water with them? Maybe perhaps many people from the wasteland are in fact escapees from vaults? It honestly does not make sense where the water comes from, except the water you get from Wadsworth or Godfrey. Saikotik 11:43, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


Have you been to tenpenny tower yet?all of the water systems(toilets and sinks) are purified,so it sems that tenpenny tower is one of few places to have a fully functional water purifier,still weird how you cant get free purified water in there though
