Great. So far my holiday has been limited to following my GF around clothes shops (because you know, we can't do it at home?) and battling premier inn for an internet connection. Was tense. I won. I was asked why the water purifying equipment was needed to fix the broken life carrier. I put it there, because I figured the steam powered generator would require filtered water to run at maximum efficiency. Was this a logical notion?

No. So long as the water is fresh and free of large debris it should run fine.
