On the PS4 (Minecraft) soul sand with water doesn't work as an elevator is there another block?

The magma block shoots up, soul sand pulls you down. The water must not be flowing. Then it should do it.

I want to build an xp farm and the zombies have to go up through the water but soul sand or magma blocks don't work.

Actually it has to work, I don't know of any bug that this doesn't work. Is it the really stagnant water? So that qusi every block can be used as a water source. Otherwise there used to be the trick with signs, you let the mobs flow into an elevator, 2 by 2 wide and always alternating signs and water and at the top only water. Something like that

Water water

Each word should represent the respective block. The zombies then drown
