Chuck, Yeah that was one of the first things we did, we also had the local Utility Dept. go out and check and they found nothing.

Chuck -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Harris Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 2:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Failed Bucket Test Fellow forum people: I have a situation where we have designed and installed a 13R system, it is completely finished and wham-o we fail the bucket test! Our system was designed based on the flow test provided by the city fire dept., turns out that a test taken now with the failed test shows a 25% drop in static & residual pressures, hence the failed test. Of course the owner is looking to us to pull a magic rabbit out of our #$% , err I mean hat, we have tried a few different things but with that big of a pressure loss there's really not much we can do. I don't feel it's our liability at this point since we went off the city's water flow test and per the calc's we were good, any thoughts?
