A water bottle is an essential water containing item in Project Zomboid.

Usage

A water bottle will automatically satiate the player's thirst, so long as it's in the player's main inventory (i.e., not in a bag).

Refilling

The contents will gradually deplete, therefore requiring to be refilled. A water bottle can be filled so long as it isn't full. To refill a water bottle, either:

1. Right-click a water containing item in the player' inventory (e.g., cooking pot with water) and left-click "Pour into" > "Water Bottle".
2. Right-click a water source (i.e., sink, well, rain collector, etc.) and left-click "Fill" > "Water Bottle".

Water from rivers or rain collector barrels will be tainted, causing the player to become sick. It can be boiled in a microwave oven to purify it.

After a random number of days, the waterworks will shut off, requiring the player to survive on scavenged water or what is left in cisterns and house systems.

Effective chance calculations are based off of default loot settings, and median zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits.
