That would not work if the outlet of the core is capped, as the pressure will equilibrate to whatever the line pressure is. beer

This tells how high a water column needs to be to maintain a certain water pressure. Some of our water towers are up on the top of the hills at the outskirts of town. Taller the water tower is (or how high up the hill the water reservoir is), the more water pressure you will have.
