I'm currently working on a game that I've setup with FTB Beyond. As I'm used to playing with buildcraft installed, I can't seem to find a way of pumping water into various IC2 machines, such as the Ore Washing Plant. I've tried adding a pump from thermal expansion and connected it to the Ore Washing Plant via TE pipes, but with no result. And as far as I can see, there's no native IC2-way of piping in water to the machines.
So my question boils down to: How does one automatically supply IC2 machines with water from a pond a few blocks away? Using any gear available via FTB, that is.

Here's a setup I just did using the latest version of the pack in creative mode:
You can see it being powered by a bat box, with water being pumped in using fluid ducts from an Aqueous Accumulator (which is powered by a creative capacitor under it).
As you can see, it's full:
And here we've got it essentially the same way, except using a pressurized fluid conduit from Ender IO:
So the quick-n-cheap route is just use the pump (accumulator) from Thermal Expansion along with the (rather cheap) fluid ducts, if you want to get fancy then you can use other options.
I miss BC too, especially the pump, as it's so versatile. But TE has you covered.
