you don't record the time for 300mm of water to disappear for example like you have.

 

 

Where did I say I recorded the time for 300mm to drain?  The image I posted above has three pieces of tape and arrows.  I filled up to the top arrow and waited for it to reach the second arrow (75mm drop) then I started my stopwatch and recorded until it reached the second piece of tape (150mm) then stopped my stopwatch.

I didn’t trust my span of attention.  I videoed it so I could check after, which is just as well as I got on with other stuff and forgot about it.  
 

The first one I did was over 4 hours.  Bugger me that was boring to watch afterwards.  Almost as slow as ‘Dances with wolves’.
