Water Strainer

Water Strainer
The Water Strainer is an upgraded version of the Water Mill. Instead of placing water buckets inside of the strainer, you can pump water, making it an automatic and easy process.

Usage
To use the Strainer, just put a pump in a 3x3 zone of water and attach some cobblestone waterproof pipe to the strainer. Put some cables (tin cable is best to minimize energy loss, because these only generate 2 EU/t) into a power container and you get EU!



- Water Power Station
In SMP (SSP untested) using a lot of water strainers can be unreliable, if not enough water is pumped into them. Through testing i discovered that you need a ratio of roughly 1:3 pumps per water strainers. With 24 water strainers and 8 pumps you can reliable generate 46 EU/t with the right setup. This should really be 48 EU/t but for some reason this is not the case.



Bugs
When testing EU/t output with an EU Reader, you will get very dodgy readouts. It is best to test wires coming out of a BatBox or directly test each water strainer. Using the EU Reader on anything else will give false readings.
