Want to know how much water flow you actually have?
Try a simple bucket flow test.
A bucket flow test is an easy way to check the flow rate from your tap, pump, or irrigation outlet — helping with irrigation design, pump sizing, and diagnosing pressure issues.
Here’s how:
✔ Grab a bucket with a known volume (10L or 20L works well)
✔ Turn the water on fully
✔ Time how long it takes to fill the bucket
✔ Use this formula: Flow Rate (L/min) = Bucket Volume × 60 ÷ Time in Seconds
Example:
A 20L bucket filled in 15 seconds = 80L/min 💧
Tip: Make sure no other taps or irrigation zones are running during the test for the most accurate result.
