During the Dead Island 2 “Flushed” quest, you are instructed to rebalance the pressure of sewage-pumping machinery. This puzzle-like activity is a peaceful break from the zombie slaying that takes up most of your experience. However, even though this affair doesn’t involve combat, it can be challenging to complete. Specifically, your need to remove a septic tank’s blockage to open a locked sluice gate. This endeavor requires fiddling with the area’s Hydrostatic Management System. During this quest objective, you must rebalance the pressure of water valves in Dead Island 2.
Rebalancing the Pressure During Flushed in Dead Island 2
The task involving “Rebalance the pressure” triggers after you enter the Hydrostatic Management System chamber in Dead Island 2. In this case, you’ll encounter three rooms. The first is a hallway with a Water Pipe Valve, and the second is an entryway with leaking toxic waste. The third is a room with a Water Pipe Lever and Caustic Pipe Valve.

How To Rebalance the Third VAT During the Flushed Quest
Next, there’s only one more vat to go, and it requires a pressure of 45. Fortunately, this is the easiest vat to rebalance; you must turn the “45” Water Pipe Lever in the same room. Once all vats have been re-pressurized, you will be able to raise the sluice gate. Before you can clear “Flushed,” you must make a final stand against an incoming zombie horde. Completion of this Story Quest will net you 3,000 XP.
