Problem with flow rate is probably due to the apparent length of the pipe.
To me, it looks like water is being "generated" at the bottom of the pipe,
instead of at the top, where we would expect the reservoir to be. The
kinetic energy of it leaving the pipe doesn't correlate with the length of
the pipe we are seeing.
