Alives:
No, the pumps are not being used in a fountain. They are being used in a computer case. But that is of no matter. Through a combination of tube length, peripheal restrictions, and any vertical water hose height, a head height is created. The higher the head height, the lower the flow rate from the pump will be.
The head heighth is defined as: Every ten feet of tubing the water is pumped through, adds resistance equal to one foot of rise, reducing the pump flow. So, either 10 feet of tubing all at the same level as the pump OR 1 foot of tubing going straight up....these two options will create the same amount of head height.
Water tower analogy doesn't hold water (pun intended)
