    What's wrond with the water on this screen? Why it is not pouring to sectors 2 and 3 that I have made in this water bowl? Is this a bug or I did not switched something on in the settings of the game?

    Did you turn on water equalisation?

    while tpt does many things, this is not one feature that liquids have. Sort of unfortunate that it wasn't designed with this in mind from the start. You generally don't see it often though.

    At one point an option for water equalization was added, as Cacophony said. Just hit the checkmark at the bottom, the option should be there.

    I usually leave it off though, because it's very laggy, also might break certain things unless they were designed for it.

    I turned equalisation ON in preferences menu and problem is solved. Thank you. But water level in tanks is equalizing slowly with 10fps. Is that normal?

    yes, it's very very laggy, that's why it's only an option.

    That's yeah kind of expensive as a calculation, sadly. Don't do it with much water :D
