Should we include a note in this article about the maximum distance over which liquids can be pumped? I've searched forums, and it seems that the maximum distance (measured by the wire laid down to connect the pumps) is 1000 blocks (2000 feet). I think this information is relevant to the article, and ought to be included. Thoughts? [[User:Threid|Threid]] 21:27, 7 December 2011 (UTC) |

:Exactly 1000? As in, it works at 1000, and doesn't at 1001? If you have data that precise, then, by all means! --[[User:Theothersteve7|Theothersteve7]] 21:37, 7 December 2011 (UTC) |

How are they connected? Using wires? Yes^
Can't pump great distances?
Distance Limitations
