ALD Bucket Test Guide

Bucket Test November 2023

Here, an ALD technician explains how to run the Bucket Test, through all the steps, from filling the bucket, to measuring water levels after 24 hours. The full transcript is as follows:

So a simple way to tell if your pool is leaking is with a bucket test. Now, bucket test is gonna tell you whether or not your pool is losing water from evaporation or an actual leak. So the first step is to take your bucket, fill it up, you actually want to leave it somewhere sitting in the pool, so it stays the same temperature as the pool water. Ok? So now that you got that, you're gonna take your piece of tape and put one on the inside right at the level of the water and the same thing for the outside of the bucket.

Now you're going to leave those sit for 24 hours, run the test with the pump on and off both separate 24 hour periods. Then you're gonna come back and check your measurements on the inside and the outside of the bucket. What that's going to tell you is whether or not you're losing more inside the pool than inside the bucket and inside the bucket is your evaporation loss. So anything extra on the outside of the bucket is a leak in your pool.

Now, after 24 hours, you should mark the new water level on the inside and the outside of the bucket and compare the measurement on both marks. And that will help you determine whether or not your pool is losing more water than the evaporation. Now, by subtracting the measurement from the inside of the bucket, which is your evaporation from the outside measurement, you'll have your water loss.

Now, if you're having trouble with the bucket test or you just want to confirm your findings, you can call us out and we'll come out with some specialized equipment. This is called the LeakVue.

And it's going to help us determine whether or not you do have a leak in your pool based on the same standards that the bucket test uses just a little bit more sophisticated.

Water is one of the most important natural resource for the existence of life. Almost 70% of the Earth is covered with water, but only 2.5% of it is fresh water. Less than 1% is available for human consumption. The unsustainable growth of human population has increased the demand for fresh water and the planet is running out.

Mission Sustainability | Running Dry: Population and Water Crisis

From space, the Earth is a big blue planet covered 70 percent in water. However, a closer look reveals that only two and a half percent of that is fresh water, with only one percent being easily accessible to keep our 6.8 billion inhabitants alive and well.

On TechKnow, we explore the possible solutions to address water scarcity through science, and explore the effect these new initiatives could have in the larger agricultural areas around the world. We also explore technological advancements that are having a quantifiable impact on conserving fresh water through innovation.

The science of water sustainability | TechKnow

Forbes 30under30 Entrepreneur, Hamza Farrukh, and his team at Bondh E Shams (The Solar Water Project) have developed a cost-effective and transportable solution for the global water crisis. Their innovation, the OASIS BOX (Off-Grid Aqua Solar Integration System) provides 25 years of safe water to 2,000 people in just $10,000. Each liter of water is 3,000 times less expensive than bottled water and is delivered free of cost to vulnerable communities; Bondh E Shams have begun work in Pakistan, Bangladesh & South Sudan and want to reach every single one of the 1.2bn people without safe water. Could this be the most scalable tool in our fight against the global water crisis?

The Water Crisis | National Geographic

This video uses animation, graphics, and video clips to illustrate and explain each of the “flow” and “storage” processes in the Hydrologic Cycle, more commonly known as the Water Cycle:  precipitation, interception, runoff, infiltration, percolation, groundwater discharge, evaporation, transpiration, evapotranspiration, and condensation.  "Sustainability: Water" is produced in partnership with the National Science Foundation.

Sustainability: Water - The Water Cycle

As the human population continues to explode, resources for fresh water are dwindling. What happens if the world runs out of water?
