Draining the Reservoir & Escaping
As soon as Gus is inside the building, climb down the ladder. This will put you in a small room with a locked door and a small machine in one corner. You'll need to activate this pump to drain the Reservoir.
To start the pump, you'll need to solve an elementary math/logic problem. You have a 5 litre chamber on the pump and a 3 litre bucket to use to empty the chamber. To make the pump run, there must be 4 litres of water in the chamber.
To get exactly 4 litres of water into the pump chamber, first you'll need to turn the top right valve to fill the chamber. Note that it will always be filled to maximum capacity.
Next, place the bucket under the Pump Chamber and use the bottom valve to drain the water. Remember, it's a 3 litre bucket. Once the bucket is filled, click on the edge of the sink right in front of the bucket to empty it.
Now put the bucket back under the Pump Chamber and drain the remaining water into the bucket. That leaves us with an empty chamber and 2 litres of water in the bucket.
Fill the chamber again. Now when you drain the chamber into the bucket, the bucket only has room for 1 litre of water. That will leave the required 4 litres of water in the chamber. All you have to do now is push the button and the pump will drain the reservoir. If you are having trouble with this puzzle you can check out our Chapter 6 Video Walkthroughs.
Once the cutscene showing the draining of the Reservoir is over, head back up and around to the Reservoir.
