Susie,
Several comments:
From personal experience I know that fills from a JBL can be very large. On several sittings, I have taken virtually all the water in an original, about 5 qts; I can only take half that with a convention syringe and retention nozzle.
Your pressure calculations are essentially correct. But there is a difference between a pressure source and a flow source. A pressure source applies constant pressure, irrespective of the flow rate. A flow source apply a constant flow rate, independent of the back pressure. A Dotolo type colon hydrotherapy machine is the latter type. The water flows at a constant, adjustable, rate no matter how much the client cramps. If you crimp the inflow tube, the pressure gage instantly pegs and you have to buy another one for about $100. The full municipal water supply pressure is available at your anal aperture. (40 to >100 PSI)
Some Prime Pacific models have both pressure and flow modes. Open colonic systems are most all approximate constant pressure (Libbe and Angel of Water, for example)
A fountain syringe, hung low (say under two feet, is approximately a pressure source... the water pressure is pretty constant against your anus. If you cramp, the water can flow backwards into the bag. In this mode the water flow can be controlled by the elevation of the bag, but the shutoff is really only on/off.
If a fountain syringe is hung high, the flow control is by the throttling effect of the shutoff. Here is where a roller style clamp is preferred. However, the water flow rate is constant and won't stop if the receiver cramps.
This is the basis for instructions to hang the bag a foot or two above the person's anus. A low hanging bag enema ids far less crampy than one with the bag hung high.
The Klystra bags were made without much understanding IMO. The original ones were well designed and made and many are still functional after almost 100 years.
I'm well aware you can modify the mechanical properties of silicones with additives. The same applies to natural rubber. In fact, most vintage bags were red or black because of cheaply available pigments. White 1920s syringes are rare and are rock hard today, because of the additives.
The original JBL was, in essence, a sewn bag, made of non stretch cloth, rubberized to be waterproof. Other brands, such as US Rubber and Rexall, I think, were made in a similar fashion. The tensile stress was supported by the cloth fibers, not the rubber.
If you can source properly designed and made ones, I'm a customer. But the Klystra I paid over $100 for was a complete loss, I've no wish to repeat.
A bonus question:
Why is it important to purge the air from an enema hose, before nozzle insertion?
