=============== 1. DESCRIPTION ===============
Purchase a Household Water Purifier for your house in Megaton or Tenpenny Tower that allows you to turn bottles of Dirty Water into Purified Water.
Works well with mods that allow you to refill empty bottles at water sources to give you bottles of Dirty Water - and by extension with mods that give empty bottles to the player's character when he/she drinks something from a bottle.
=============== 2. Requirements ===============
- Fallout 3
======================== 3. INSTALLATION/UNINSTALLATION ========================
Installation:
- Extract the contents of the HouseholdWaterPurifier. 7z archive file to your Fallout 3Data directory.
- In the Data Files section of the Fallout 3 Launcher - or using a tool like Fallout 3 Mod Manager - place a tick in the box next to HouseholdWaterPurifier.esp.
Uninstallation:
- It should not be necessary to do anything special in-game before uninstalling this mod (besides removing anything you want to keep from the Water Purifier).
- In the Data Files section of the Fallout 3 Launcher - or using a tool like Fallout 3 Mod Manager - clear the tick in the box next to HouseholdWaterPurifier.esp.
- If desired, delete all files copied to your Fallout 3Data directory during installation (check the HouseholdWaterPurifier. 7z archive file to identify these files).
===================== 4. PLAYING THE MOD =====================
Purchasing a Household Water Purifier works in exactly the same way as purchasing any other player home addition: buy a 'House: Water Purifier' receipt from the merchant who handles home additions for your Megaton or Tenpenny Tower home.
Once purchased, the Household Water Purifier functions in a similar fashion to the Pristine Nuka-Cola Machine you can purchase for your home: activating it will give you the option to add Dirty Water (if you have some) for instant purification, get Purified Water from the machine, or leave the machine alone.
=============== 5. SAVE GAMES ===============
- Activating or de-activating this mod should not have any negative effects on your existing save game/s - but as always, it is good practice to keep bac
Adds a purchasable Household Water Purifier to your Megaton or Tenpenny Tower home, letting you convert Dirty Water into Purified Water. A simple convenience mod for Fallout 3 players who want a steady supply of clean water without hunting for it. Last updated in 2008, so it's an old classic with a solid following.

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008—might have compatibility issues with modern Fallout 3 setups or DLC.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have a house in Megaton or Tenpenny Tower before buying the purifier—it won't work otherwise.
- If you're using a mod manager, drop the files into your Data folder and activate the .esp; load order rarely matters for standalone mods like this.
