Yes it's an option I have considered and rejected for two reasons:
1) They tend to take up quite a bit of space. I know there are smaller varieties but I don't know where to find them around here, and nonetheless installing one may prove to be a technical hassle.
2) You'd still need a pressurized source of water to drive water across. The easiest way to achieve this would probably be to use a tank of water taller than the primary res. What I don't like about this is that the tank would have to be drilled below the water line, and clumsy as I am that is inviting a leak. That's why one of the design principles in my bong has been to keep all holes above water level.
