Here is the one I built. 36" from centerline of overflow to centerline of test port. Valve is to throttle the pump flow. Do not use an elbow at the top for overflow unless you drill it at the top to vent the column. This is necessary as the syphon action of the overflow can reduce the column pressure.

Here is one I built. It is easy to build and does not need a pump, valves ... Since the water reservoir at the top is large the water level does not drop enough during a test to make any measurable difference in the results. Plus you can set the water level to whatever height you want.
