The easiest way to do this is to stack the pumps directly on top of each other in alternating directions, also known as a '''pump stack'''. The first one pumps North to South, the one directly above it pumps South to North, the next one above that pumps North to South again, ad infinitum. Make sure to fully surround the area the water will fill with walls, including diagonals, or water will leak out very fast. | The easiest way to do this is to stack the pumps directly on top of each other in alternating directions, also known as a '''pump stack'''.

If the pumps are "open" (that is, built on channeled tiles) to each other across z-levels, then a stack only requires (sufficient) power to be tranferred to one pump. All others will be powered by association with the first. You can transmit power to each pump by simply channeling out the floor at the front (aka output side). |
