NSF was saying it should freeze over with minimal loss, would still need topping up. That or an oil layer.
This guy was proposing it for vehicles but it's not as though martians aren't already wearing pressure suits that need to be cleaned before returning.

I dont get your overly complex math. Isnt this a simple case of "pressure at interior surface must equal pressure from water column"?

So if both enter and exit is equal size, then the water column must have constant height.

On Mars it will be determined by a simple formula:

WaterColumnHeight = AirPressure / (MarsGravity * WaterDensity)

WaterColumnHeight = 100,000 kPa / (3.711 * 1000)

WaterColumnHeight = 26.95 meters
