Is it possible to change it so that the Water-based filter can only run its recipe when pollution is present in the tile that it's placed in?

I end up wasting a ton of power running it all of the time, even when the section of my factory that makes the pollution isn't running.

Corey, I'd recommend grabbing another mod to output amount of pollution, feed that into a decider combinator to turn a switch on/off if you're wanting that immediately. Otherwise you could just put a single solar panel near it and let it run at a reduced rate.

I miss Pollution Solutions lite which passively gathered pollution, then you could pump it and process it.
