🎯 Tips & Tricks
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.
Keep a stock of empty bottles—you'll need them to convert Dirty Water into Purified Water.

- Works in both major player homes, so it's flexible no matter where you set up base.
👎 Cons
