The suckage may be much greater than normal water pressure anyway.


But how can it suck air into a tank that is full of water without
forcing some of that water out somewhere? Wouldn't there have to be
much less pressure inside the tank than outside? Since liquids cannot
be compressed, there would have to be air already in the tank for a
pressure differential.
