A pump stack is a method used to draw water or magma vertically across multiple z-levels requiring a minimum of parts. The basic functionality is possible because the output side of the pump can be built over open space with a machine component located directly below, in this case another screw pump. Note that for power to properly transfer, the input side of the pump must line up with the output side of the pump on the floor above it through a space in the floor, as in the illustration. While pumps can transfer power to and from either tile, you need flooring below the pump's input side, because that's where the dwarf stands to construct the pump. | A pump stack is a method used to draw water or magma vertically across multiple z-levels requiring a minimum of parts.
