I used such a bucket yesterday. I was cleaning coils on a roof, and the hose bibb on the roof drips on the ceiling below when it's open. I hang a bucket with a hose under it to run the drip water into a five gallon water bottle. Looks cheesy, but it works. I've also used similar rigs to deal with leaky plumbing over night. Never as a permanent fix.
That IS a quality bucket! Must be the high bid!
Well they told him it was a P trap, and putting it in like that did more closely resemble a P.

You can't fix stupid. Don't even try to change CHEAP.
The bucket catches the condensate from the uninsulated suction line. Another example of what happens when you give the install to the cheapest bidder. And all I hear from the owner is how much he paid to have the new system installed and how he doesn't want to pay anymore. I was called out to diagnose evap freeze up. They were leaving the door to the WIC open every night to defrost it. The condenser came with a defrost timer but it was never wired to the LLS. Genius. Now he's mad at me because he still sees frost on the UNINSULATED SUCTION LINE. Rev 7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

worked pretty well. all because they had no outdoor cleanout, no cellar cleanout, and didnt want any holes drilled outside i was called to evaluate why they had so much water: - no outlet for water - chimney oversized - no rain cap - no isolation from outdoor wood boiler caused excessive low temp flue gases they wanted no repairs and i havent been back.
So instead of a catch basin... its a catch bucket.
Attachment 484631 The chimney is full of water. Bucket catches overflow and routes it to a drain. Creative but LOL - Sent via ESP
That's a riddler drain.... (You know from Batman) The bucket is actually the jokers, pull the string and get a bucket full of goo.
What is the bucket on a string collecting?
That other evap looks like it has a crazy drain on it.
