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 water is being applied during an irrigation event. The ‘bucket test’ method is based on collecting irrigation water strategically placed buckets and measuring water is collected over a certain period of time.
