A variation on the Dwarven Water Reactor. Delivers less power than a DWR but it is safer for dwarves, especially the part that gets drained by the pump. | A variation on the Dwarven Water Reactor.

This guarantees that while the northern part is always pretty dangerous up to 7/7 flowing water on the upper z-level, the southern part will, even when not being drained, never fill beyond 7/7 on the lower z-level. Because the southern part is constantly being drained by the pump, the water level is fairly low on that side. Any dwarf that falls or walks into the washer will be washed and flushed to the southern low water zone. If you normally channelled out the lower level, as you should do to dig into an aquifer, they can then use the ramps to climb to the southern floor on the upper z-level which is connected to your fortress. | This guarantees that while the northern part is always pretty dangerous up to 7/7 flowing water on the upper z-level, the southern part will, even when not being drained, never fill beyond 7/7 on the lower z-level.

Because the water level of the southern part is dependent on the amount of drain the pump provides, this system becomes more safe when multiple pumps and wheels are placed alternating, creating a larger washer. | Because the water level of the southern part is dependent on the amount of drain the pump provides, this system becomes more safe when multiple pumps and wheels are placed alternating, creating a larger washer. | ||
