It is a 50 gallon steel drum fill with water from a hose and then placed on the weight scale with a forklift. It is stirred with a hefty 2 x 4. The water gets dangerously hot after about 10 minutes. When the test is finished, the steel drum is hauled out of the building with the forklift and dumped into the parking lot. - Jed
