I have a question. I use the dwarven bath for my fortress; a pit they dwarves HAVE to go through at certain points, filled with water so clean blood/grim/mud/godknowswhatelse from them so they don't go getting it everywhere. I have one before my front entrance, one before my path to the caverns, one in the hospital and one by my back entrance. They are all filled to 2/7, with one spot 3/7 so that it's constantly moving. This is so that the bath basicaly washes itself and goes back to nice clean blue, instead of blood red or puke brown.

However that doesn't seem to be happening. The water is sloshing around, but the blood isn't going anywhere. Is there a reason for this? Because it has worked every other fortress I had made it in.

Hmm, I hadn't know that 3/7 water will clean contaminants away. Usually I tend to set up a mist generator above my pools to clean them out automatically. On the other hand you could try setting a dwarf to have no labors and then burrow him into the pool until he cleans it.

Also could your problem simply be that more dwarves are walking in and depositing contaminants faster than they can be erased? I knwo that sometimes after large goblin christmases that a lot of dwarves can manage to get blood on themselves.
