Full quote The water heater is fed from a water distiller in this particular usage, so the modeler knows the output will always be distilled water, rather than other kinds of water. Next snippet The radiator on the left requires distilled water, and its connection to the water heater is compatible because the item flow narrows the items to distilled water.
