I set up 3 medium sized water purifiers in Sanctuary. I have only got the 5 original members in Sanctuary so there is not a high demand on the water supply. The purifiers are working yet no purified water is showing up in my workbench storage. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? Anyone got a solution/advice?

Wait?

Water won't appear unless you fight battles and do quests then come back after a certain amount has passed.

there's been times for me when i was building a settlement and the water has replenished in the workshop. it doesn't take leaving to do it.


perhaps check the connections and make sure the generators or purifiers need repair?

Don't wait in that cell, leave and then come back after a while... Maybe.

I've had lots of problems with water production at Sanctuary. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It has been working reliably for me on my current character who is at Level 50, I go by occasionally and find water in the workshop inventory and take it along with the excess corn, etc. But that's exactly how I've handled it across all of my characters. As far as I can tell what I do has no impact on its success or failure.

you mean those things actually work? I thought it was cosmetic and for stats only.

The happier they are the more purified water you will get.

My settlements have zero settlers and I still get water. Every other day or so.
