How do I craft Purified Water (Superwater) in Escape from Tarkov?
To craft Purified Water in Escape from Tarkov, you need to upgrade your Water Collector to level 3. Once you’ve done that, you can use a Water Filter to start crafting.
It takes 64/100 HP of a Water Filter 5 hours and 25 minutes to produce one Purified Water. One thing to remember before you start the process is that the process can bug out. Sometimes it will restart the crafting process when you switch filters out, so make sure your Water Filter has at least 64/100 HP, or it’ll potentially be wasted.
