Pump (IC2)

This article is about IndustrialCraft's pump. For the Buildcraft pump, see Pump (BC). For the RedPower pump, see Pump (RedPower)

The IC2 Pump is capable of draining liquids, Water or Lava, which can be used to fill an empty bucket or an Empty Cell. The pump affects any liquid located directly below itself.

In combination with a Compressor, it will automatically extract the Water with no need to use an Empty Cell. The Compressor will then produce a snow ball out of it. This can be extremely useful to cool down a Nuclear Reactor as snow balls can be compressed again into ice blocks. This will not work with a Singularity Compressor, though.

If placed next to a Miner it will drain the Lava encountered by the Miner as it digs into the ground, making it an efficient way of producing Lava Cells.

To pump water into empty cells, place them into the top slot of the pump. To pump water into empty buckets, you need to put them in an adjacent normal or double chest. Alchemical chests, condensers, chests from the Iron Chests mod (e.g. diamond chests) will NOT work with empty buckets.
