    Let’s convert to metric so we can tell.

    15 ft is about 5 m.

    Water pressure increases by 10,000 pa per meter (rhogh, rho=1000 kg/m^3, g~10m/s^2), so total pressure is 50 kpa, or 1/2 earth atmospheric pressure.

    This is very interesting. I like unit conversions.

    What I did was just take 21-14 psi, and then converted that to bar or atm. I got a number close to ½.

    I was like, half an atm? Can’t be that bad? I can handle 1 full mf atm literally all mf day mf.

    But I guess that’s different somehow? I just don’t understand how yet. If anyone would care to go into it with me… 🙏
