Hi,

If you know where can we buy the equipment to perform this test please let me know, I will appreciate it.

RE: Percolation Test (perc test)

PANCHOROSAS:    Go to the nearest hardware store and buy a shovel, a stop watch, and get a supply of water.  Follow the municipalities rules and dig a hole.  Fill the hole with water and time how long it takes to "perc" or drain into the soil.  Continue this until it no longer "percs"

Regards
Dave

A post hole digger or hand held auger work well too.
