boiling pure water

Can you eliminate the fluid mismatch between pure water and boilers? I'm going to have a huge excess from making heavy water (Bob's MCI mod). I've read in the forums about using boilers to get rid of excess liquids, but I get a fluid mismatch when trying to do that with pure water.
Thanks!

The base game only has "water", and an entity can only support one fluid in the data stage so you'd need to find a mod to get rid of it. There's "void pipes" that a mod can enable, and other mods introduce "discharge pumps" or other things that get rid of fluids into existing water (like a normal pump but with a negative flow. That may literally be all that's behind it in a mod I'm using, that or it's a lying void pipe).
bob himself posted about this back in 2017:

If you wanted to do it yourself (unknown results): put data.raw.boiler.boiler.fluid_box.filter = nil somewhere at the end of data-final-fixes in a mod you load.
