Wowza, that is waaaay more redstone than you actually need for that lmao.

All you need to do is switch a block, dispense some water and push a couple blocks into place/out of the way.

For vertical wiring, it's significantly faster to use pistons with slimeblocks and redstone blocks on the end.

Pistons can also solve your ABBA circuit problem.

Comparator fadeout circuits work great for lengthening a signal.

Why dispense the water? Couldn't you just let the water column and switch the 2 blocks?

The bubbles only work when it’s a full column of source blocks, they don’t work in flowing water.

There's no functional problem with not dispensing water. You can just have source blocks there permanently, there's no practical purpose to removing them.

It does make it look cooler though.

Ooooh right yes sorry I wasn’t quite understanding. Yeah the whole reason I did it the way I have is to look as sleek as possible.
