Liquids don't compress. I think the figures for water is some ridiculously small number at over a 100 atmospheres.
That's actually not a problem. The extremely minor compression for water means that even that ridiculously small amount of compression on water holds a very large amount of pressure, which is what Skorpion is interested in.
SO in other words, I gotta fill it from the top unless I have a water source that is above the pipes max height...
Bugger it...
I just didn't want to put a Pump Tower in the Fortress but looks like I am gonna have to redo my designs...
Pumps sort of behave as a source above themselves and will fill water up to the same level.

Currently I'm setting up a glacial fort with some large cisterns that will be fed from the bottom but with various things supplied from the middle and using diagonals to keep wells from flooding.
Pumps have their own system. They take a square of water from behind and below them, and teleport it to the nearest square that satisfies the pathing. It only paths orthogonally(?)(▲▼◄►) and up and down, so no diagonals. I do not think it can path above its level.
Just like regular water pressure. If you make a U pipe with a body of water right on top of the one end the water will go up the pipe to one level lower than that body (if it's not depleted.)
If you have a pump spurting out water one that same height it will go right up to that height at the other end of the pipe.
Thus pumps act like the water is coming in from one level higher- the pressure isn't the same as water just sitting at that level.
The pump is logically adding water sideways but the only time you see that behavior somewhere else is when water is moving around a level higher than that.
When you want to do that ASCII stuff, put it in code brackets.
Does anyone know how to do BBCode escape sequences so I could actually write out code brackets?

[TRAPAVOID]
That what you meant?
Just quote this message. Yay for learning to bypass filter on other forums.
That's spiffy! I want to know why TRAPAVOID and TRAINABLE are filtered at all. Anyone know? It seems.... unnecessary at the least. Annoying at best.
However, I think the original asker wanted to know how to teach someone to use tags. I thought they would show up in a code block, but I just tried it and it didn't work... 
Just include a random color=white tag before the second letter, actually, the old method might work too
[TRAPAVOID], yes. scratch the color tags, just type
You needed to use tags there-
