I think the objective is to be a steam rocket, which is a lot higher Isp
than a water rocket. But that should work. People have talked about
pressurizing a peroxide tank by running a little of the fluid through a cat
pack, equivalent to the “pressure builder” on a cryo dewar. Using the kind
of regulator used on pressure builders would make it a mechanically
regulated process.

If you want to make a steam rocket with peroxide, you run 85% through a
silver mesh and then a c/d nozzle...

How about hydrogen peroxide, just enough concentration to pressurize the
tank to 600 psi with introduced catalist through a nozzle plug, then
release the plug?
Self pressurizing water rocket? then
