How to build a water purifier in Fallout 76
The best way to get purified water in your workshop or camp is to build one of the 3 water purifiers in the game. That's how!
Water purifier - small
The biggest advantage of building a small water purifier instead of the other two options is that you don't have to be in a pond to operate it and produce purified water. It is ideal for those who have located their base in the mountains or on a mountainside away from lakes and rivers.
The material and energy cost is higher than the regular Water Purifier, and its purified water output is also lower, although players can use the Small Water Purifier to create 12 purified waters per hour at a cost of 8 energy, and a maximum supply of 2.

Water purifier
As the cheapest of the trio, this device is an excellent choice for beginner players, as well as for those who decide to establish their base near a body of water. By placing an ordinary Water Purifier in the desired lake, pond or river, the player will be able to receive 24 servings of purified water per hour, spending 4 energy, and the maximum supply is 3.
That's double the purified water of the smaller option and half the price; a much more efficient means of obtaining drinking liquids, if you use the features of the area.

Water purifier - industrial
The heaviest of all purifiers, the industrial water purifier is the perfect solution for long-term purified water needs. Like the normal variant, it must be placed in a body of water, but it is worth considering the terrain criteria and construction cost.
The Generous Water Purifier - Industrial gives players the ability to produce 60 Purified Water per hour at a cost of 10 Energy and has a maximum storage of 5. With a high yield of fresh canned water, these big brethren are also the best choice for setting up a purified water farm.
