A bucket test is a great way to evaluate your system. It should be done at least once a year to ensure that the system is in top shape.
Carrying out a ‘bucket test’ will help determine the application depth, rate, and how uniformly effluent is being applied during an irrigation event. The ‘bucket test’ method is based on collecting irrigation application with strategically placed buckets and measuring how much effluent is collected over a certain period of time.
