Let's see...a 50 ft (15 m) column of water. About 1.5 ATM (bar) over ambient, or 14.7 * 1.5 = 22 psi (1.55 kg/cm2). That's a lot of pressure. If they had just engineered in a little extra margin, who knows? Still, as stated, not the world's best idea.
Eh, it did last about twenty years -- about twice what I had expected . . .
