I haven't tracked down exactly when it was changed, but in recent versions of IC2, the pump is no longer limited to affecting the block directly below it. It can be redirected with a wrench, and can pull distant liquids, somewhat similar to a BuildCraft pump, though possibly in a different pattern and with a different range. However, neither the IC2 wiki page (http://wiki.industrial-craft.net/index.php?title=Pump) nor the FTB wiki page (http://ftb.gamepedia.com/Pump_%28IndustrialCraft_2%29) have any mention of this. Could somebody please update one or both of those? Thanks.

Also they can not interact with Compressors anymore... No More Snowball/Ice Production with a Infinite Water source

Neither do they generate more power next to geothermal generators, a minor oversight I guess.

Is this still the case? Nobody updated the wiki the first time around it seems

Yeah, it's more annoying to check for outdated information on pages than things that are missing pages all together. The magnetiser probably still needs updating too, unless someone got around to do it earlier.
