Pump Question
« on: July 26, 2009, 04:07:58 pm »
I just finished setting up a small pump/pipe line that I use to supply the water to my fortress.  Basically, the water is pumped up and along some channels and walled paths to a small ditch in my fortress.  My question is, is it safe to leave the pumps on all the time, or will it over-flow.  It is pumped up to the level one floor below the main level of the fortress, and then falls one level into the mini-cistern.

The exact design can be found here.

Thanks!

On the Wall is a Masterfully engraved carving of Urist McHardcastle and Goblins. Urist McHardcastle is surrounded by the Goblins. The Golbins are stamping on Urist McHardcastle. Urist McHardcaste is laughing at the Goblins. The carving related to the prolonged and bloody death of Urist McHardcastle in the Fall of 1659, the Winter of 1659, and the Spring of 1660. On the engraving is an image of Cheese.

The water will fill up to the level of the pump.

No, it doesn't look like it will be a danger, as water doesn't overflow upward from the level it's being pumped to.  As long as you don't accidentally pierce your cistern, you should be fine.
