Pressure - the more the merrier. Just don't blow the bottle up.

Water - experiment. It's going to depend on the bottle shape and size, as well as the pressure. Somewhere around half full is a good place to start.

a little over half is what i like for water

pressure - depends on how high i can get the air pump to go to before i get tired

Ya there right. Use a little more than half water and max out the pressure.
This is a great year because I will beat Owen and Saad in Egg-O-Naut and the New York Jets are a playoff team this year because Brett Farve is the Best Quarterback on the Earth. 7-3. Better and better every week. The Yankees are getting C.C. Sabbathia.
