Why this beats guessing
Published pressure and diameter figures are useful, but the bucket test automatically includes restrictions in your own plumbing, connectors and hose. Repeat after changing a fitting or hose and you have a meaningful before/after comparison.
Safety
Do not use an unsafe container or create slippery conditions. If the water is not potable, keep the test container for outdoor use rather than food preparation.
