Will a container drain at the same rate full as half full?

David Brown asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Will a laundry tub drain at the same rate full as half full?

What do you think?

    Hi David,
    My guess is no.
     Flow increases with pressure and pressure increases with the level of water in the tub.
    10 meters equates to one bar, so there is a small difference in the tub as it empties.
