::Perhaps there is confusion in this discussion due to terminology? I'm thinking, perhaps, pumps will not '''start''' pumping unless the source is at least 2/7 deep, but it will still '''drain''' the source to 0/7 if it had enough to start pumping? Just a thought... I haven't tested this. Also, I vaguely seem to recall a technical discussion on how water flows in DF that claimed the water level in a tile can, sometimes, fluctuate too fast to be updated on the screen. Perhaps the water was fluctuating like this between 1/7 and 2/7? --[[User:Thundercraft|Thundercraft]] 21:38, 25 June 2011 (UTC) | ::Perhaps there is confusion in this discussion due to terminology?

:::I think you're right, did a quick test to verify. It won't pump 1/7 out, but will completely empty 2/7 when ran on manual. My mistake about the always emptying out, it's either evaporation or just not pumping everything down to 1/7. I haven't tried powered, but I'd imagine the behavior would be the same.
