- 93. OPERATIONAL FLOW TEST • CHECKING D-BOX AND FIELD Run water into the leachfield to make sure there is not a break in the delivery line, and at the same time view the inside of the pipe with the video camera. Flowing water can be going into a hole. Unless you can actually see where it is moving, flow test can be compromised. You can see how many perforated holes take the effluent. Generally, effluent only drops through the first few feet of perforated pipe. When effluent flows to the end of the field, and does not pond in the pipe, there is not necessarily an issue with the field. It may be that the holes are partially plugged with buildup and effluent moves down the line. Hydraulic Loading Test presentation to follow by Kitt Farrell-Poe.
