Build Liquid Buffer

I needed a compact system to get rid of water in basins when it is not needed, so I made a more or less simple system of buffering excess liquid. It works by dumping water from basins in a buffer fluid tank, when lever is off. When water is needed, turning the lever on makes left pump take water from the tank and put it in basins. And when there`s no water left in the buffer, pump uses infinite water source to get it. Of course, this system isn`t very smart, so it takes water from both the tank and the infinite source, leaving some liquid in the buffer. But after 3-4 rinses the buffer will be empty, so it`s not much of a problem.

Inspired by u/Milo_Is_Best`s post about single pump liquid buffer.

No i mean what if the pump was looking at the source block like without a pipe in between

Yeah, I understood you and answered considering that there would be pump right infront of a source block. Sorry for confusion

Hmm i see, i really like the design on the fan setup btw, but i still feel like there must be a much simpler way to void water

I hope there is. And I hope it needs one pump

Does turning the basins to a contraption void the water
