It can be used like a geothermal generator, but for water, and plugged into your main energy network to add a bit of extra power. Give it redstone power, and it destroys any water that exceeds its storage, making it work well as a filter.
Another way to filter out water would be to set up a separate water tank, then use a waterproof diamond pipe to send water into that tank, by putting a water bucket into the pipe's filter slot.
EDIT - having looked at that wiki page again, it seems that using it as a filter now crashes everything - my info was a little out of date, sorry. Diamond waterproof pipes should still work as a filtering method though.
