You're all wet mate. The pressure at the entrance to the nozzle of your water toy is the same as it is on the face of the piston. It is nearly zero as it exits the nozzle.

I suggest that if you refer to Mr. Bernoulli, at some point you will realize that the pressure across the nozzle must drop.

Hint: There is a difference between pressure and energy. There is a difference between pressure and force.

And I forgot to add, attempting to ridicule screen names doesn't increase your math skills or engineering knowledge.
