Took a break to go back to Sevtech and trying to figure out a better method of water generation to fuel a steam generator. I really don't want to play around with magic mods (they do my head in sometimes), that said, I know a lava/water sigil will provide all needs for this type of generator but is there a better method than using well buckets and pnuematiccraft hoppers to suck the water out?
I need something like 5000mb+ a tick of water and I'm considering going ahead and adding a couple hundred hoppers to feed into the thirsty generator.

Anyone know a trick to faster water? I looked into using a snow golem to turn snow into water, but it's far slower than I thought. I might settle on sucking the ocean dry.
