Pump stacks arn't really realistic, Instead my idea is to allow the construction of large pipes that attach to the upper end of a screw pump, and allowing the other end of the pipe, whether it goes vertically or horizontally.
This would allow for ease of power management and make it easier to move liquid around.
I'm pretty sure this has probably been suggested earlier, but having pipes would be pretty nice.

Pump stacks are more realistic than pressurizing water up multiple z-levels using a screw pump. The pipes would need corkscrews inside them to keep the liquid going up.

Ok, that works.
The construction now takes 1 pipe section, 1 corkscrew, and one mechanism. Make it cost 10 power. Saves nothing over the pump except 1 block and a shitload of headache designating the construction.

I would like to see pipes that actually connect with one another. I think the Ancient Romans had pipes, they're not exactly "newtech"...

And not any pipes, but lead pipes! Then there's of course ancient China that also had pipes (and they used them to transport gas too, though not in large amounts, iirc)...

Toady agrees, they're in the devnotes.
