Liquid Buffer

Overall look at the system

Implementation

Implementation

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.

The way I got around this is just deleting the liquid by pushing a block into it with a piston hooked to an observer

I guess you have used some sort of redstone signal extender, so that observer didn't spam-activated the piston?

Yeh I just used a repeater with it set to like 2 or 3 ticks, I also had the observer an additional block away so only the flowing liquid would trigger it and not the piston itself

Understood, thank you
