If you are trying to get rid of the water, just replace the water source blocks with cobble. Even if there are a lot of source blocks, it will still be faster than building a pump. If you really want to use a pump, use a Redpower pump, not BC. If you want a source of water, make an infinite water source close to the desired destination.
