I have done it and it works well, just another reason to stick with air pumps.Going an inch and 1/2 deeper than before

However, if you have a quality pump, you need to be careful not to suck in any water which can damage the inside of your pump. The brake bleeder style pumps come with a reservoir specifically designed to draw off any water which might get sucked in.Valued Member of 12+ years at the PEGym12/'09 (start) NBP EL - 4.5, EG - 4.4

I just tried it with a $10 pump I got off of Amazon. I figured it was going to be crap, but I was quite surprised. I'll have to try it with my more expensive one another day.

It's one of those ball squeeze pumps. I didn't wanna try it with just air since I couldn't measure pressure. Water keeps getting stuck in the tube though. I think I'll probably just fill it with warm water to warm up for a routine from now on.
