How much of the sound quality is defined by the water? Would it be possible to use water as a control method, and a different hardware to produce a different sound quality?

Many hydraulophones are hyperacoustic hyperinstruments, so they are acoustic instruments that can be hydraulically, pneumatically, or electrically coupled to other hyperinstruments to make any sound that is desired. This combines the expressivity of an acoustic instrument with the flexibility of a hyperinstrument.

is this a mechanical connection or is it a sensor that is sensing the changes in the pressure in the tube?

Some are completely mechanical, and others are electrically amplified using underwater microphone (hydrophone), depending on what the customer requests at time of manufacture.

Various locations; the biggest one is at 770 Don Mills Road, out in front of the Ontario Science Centre (it's the main architectural landmark out in front), and it runs 24 hours a day, and yes, anyone can go and play on it (I think it's also the only aquatic play facility in the Toronto area that's open 24 hours a day).
