there are no hint what their purpose.

https://factorio.rotol.me/pack/bobsange ... rmal-water has a list of thermal water recipes in bobs/angels.

The main purpose of thermal water is obtaining lithium, which can otherwise only be obtained using Angel's Bio Processing (if I recall correctly). Lithium is important for a lot of advanced components, like lithium-ion batteries.

I use it extensively to create mineral catalysts. It is super important in my bases, pretty much on the same level as iron: once mineral catalysts stop, everything else stops and thermal water is my sole source of mineral catalysts.

Just a quick note, you can use dirt water electrolysis to get infinite slag.

OMG, yet another water? What kind of water is that? I don't have it and no idea what that is.

Anyway, thermal water to mineral catalysts is quick, easy, infinite and has great throughput. No use finding out what dirt water is, electrolyzing it, converting to slag, using acid on slag. I'm out of sulfuric acid anyway...

"Dirt water electrolysis" is the name of the recipe, it takes in regular water (the kind you get from an offshore pump)

it produce additional oxgen and hydrogen.

Yes but you can simply vent those with flare stacks

I also used it for the second tier of batteries.

My catalysts mainly come from geodes and crushed stone
