Purified water

Purified water is a consumable item in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
Purified water is water that has been purged of any radiation, making it one of the only "clean" sources of water in the wasteland.

Purified water


Purified water is not quite as common in the Capital Wasteland as it is in the Mojave, but the water is still rather common, often being found in first aid kits and more advanced settlements. It is an excellent way to restore a small amount of hit points and also reduces Dehydration.

Behind the scenes

 * Each bottle of purified water appears to feature the text "'H²O" hand written on the label on the side of the bottle. This format is incorrect (at least according to IUPAC nomenclature) as in chemical formula numbers are written in subscript (Xy) and not in superscript (Xy). If read literally, the chemical formula H²O would mean there is one hydrogen and one oxygen isotope that contains two neutrons (instead of the standard eight). This would leave the oxygen extremely unstable and radioactive with a half life that would be so small that it would not be measurable.
