It's all about straws you carry and family time + cash to keep you motivated.
I was once presented with a contaminated water delivery at Cabo Verde, discussed with MX if at least for toilet flushing for the 6 hrs flight up north it made any sense.
Departed 30 mins later with an extra package of gloves, sanitary napkins and 15x 6x1.5 l of bottled water.
Smiles all around. Forcing the water in and having the complete poTable system desinfected would trigger a 24 AOG for spares and manpower thus a need to fly in a reserve plane into the base to avoid the penalties. Amount of those for approx 3x extra EU flights would kill the whole season's earnings. Job done, (different operator).
Brothers here suggesting SMLX makes you work inside the haystack. So buyer beware.
