No it wouldn't you could do this to test your pitch after laid your shower membrane before laying tile. If you're doing quality work you'd just pop out the faulty tiles and adjust the pitch accordingly.
You should get out of your country more often 😂. This guy in the video is clearly Japanese, but what do you know if you only know your country and maybe Mexico?

I think so too. I've seen a chinese movie that they scatter marbles for slope test even in living room and ended up that all marbles went to one side and their house broke the land making it fall and trap them very deep in the ground. I forgot the title of the movie.
My old boss at the warehouse that I used to work at did what he called a "Slope Test". He'd go to the breakroom and microwave some fish. When one of the Asian employees popped their head in the door, my boss would laugh, say "Found one! I guess we need to level the floor!" Just one of multiple reasons why I don't still work there.

I’m Japanese and this is not about Japan. See the toilet for example. We don’t have this type of old fashioned toilet but instead ours are so-called “western style”with a (often automated) lid with a control/ function panel. Most of our bathrooms are made as a unit so everything is usually pre-made.

@@smeefbeef367 just one golf ball? The point of using multiple is to ensure the entire floor is pitched correctly... Bring it up to your supervisor next time 👀
Most architects will employ tricks like those lol. We also use marbles to check if the tiles are level with eachother, mirrors to check on hard to see angles where construction works might have forgotten to paint, dyed water to check for leaks and other little gadgets. My favorite is the drum stick- you tap tiles to check if they been laid properly by sound. Sometimes you need to be strict with quality!
This is a good test to do when moving to a new place. Sadly, many bathrooms fail this test, and that is not only annoying, but can cause dangerous mold.
in northern europe they havent discovered yet that you need to put a drain in the toilet floor, only in the shower area. their toilet seats were never washed with running water
it's not in Japan but probably China. As a Japanese lived in China, I'm 100 % sure that the marbles' colour and the shape of squat toilet differ from those of Japan, these types are commonly seen in China. First of all, I've never seen or heard to do such organic test in Japan, I think usually use digital probe. Tilted floor is very rare in Japan on the other hand in China often identify that the bathroom floor in the fashionable brand newly built house or flat is tilted.
Yes, these are special marbles that can detect a water leak instead of other marbles that ensure the slope of the pan goes to the drain so there is no standing water that promotes mold growth.
No but when I used to lay tile we had a thing we did which was sliding a quarter across the floor to check your co workers floor to find high tiles. It should slide smoothly and not bounce, not a mandatory test but still fun to do
The real test should line the walls with marbles because that’s the most likely place they would get stuck/water would build up and they are unlikely to fall there by just dropping them
Them: _“We need to make slope or else they will get moldy!”_ People who live in tropical region: _“Mold?! Again?! …oh wait, it's already a week. No wonder.”_ **grab the brush**
Someone build a bathroom on my grandparents house, and made the floor flat. You need a broom to push the remaining water puddles into the drain, and yet mold still forms.
I don't have to. My home is an older home, so the foundation has settled very slightly over the decades. Before I re-leveled my kitchen counters my breakfast eggs would do a hilariously slow & wobbly death march to the back & right of the counter as if they were slinking off quietly hoping not to be noticed. It's not enough of a difference to warrant having the entire home/foundation re-leveled yet so I just re-leveled the few areas where it was most noticeable and intentionally added more pitch to all three bathroom showers & bathtubs for future issue avoidance until it IS necessary to have it all re-leveled at the foundation. I'd definitely suggest having an exceptionally accredited and detail oriented inspector go over all plumbing and seeage outlets before buying or leasing a property, even (& probably especially) in new construction-- you absolutely don't want plumbing that isn't properly pitched to aid in gravity flow or that allows backflow or even the most minute pooling in the pipes- you don't want yuck funk water filled with bits of food &/or excrement sitting idle in your plumbing inviting vermin, insects, bacterial, viral &/or mold & fungus growth OR corroding your plumbing! Very costly to fix once it's in place, especially if you own an older property that has original cast iron plumbing throughout and want to keep it original. (It'd cost appx $75,000, not including time & labor, to replace my original cast iron sewage line vs appx $25,000 to go with modern materials. FOR **ONE** PIPE. Cast iron plumbing has roughly a 50-75yr lifespan. Thankfully, mine is still holding up nicely at the 90yo mark, but I have a special savings account to replace the original cast iron that's got me covered for total replacement parts, time & labor bc if & when cast iron fails, it fails spectacularly & quickly - one tiny problem turns to "oh crap now we have to dig up the whole line all the way out to the street too" almost instantly which is WAAAAY more expensive and requires the local water & sewer district's involvement, permits, code inspections, the possibility of having your property condemned, etc)
I think it can't detect FINE defect since liquid velocity and properties are different than solid, also it's ball shaped which increase the differences even more Unless you are indeed wash yourself with marbles
Slope test: *Fails*
"Whelp, bring out the wrecking ball"
The house is condemned

This is just good craftsmanship, and it can be found anywhere in the world.
And somehow, it's still hard to find.

Having a slight defect WILL NOT cause water damage or mold.
Because mold already builds up in showers regardless after a few years.
Wait until the people find out about levels…
In Mexico, you have to put a level in their hand, every single tile if you want the water to go down the drain.
It will not cause mold or leaks they are just doing that to see if the water will go to the drainage

I’m in Sweden, tried this for fun in my bathroom and it worked.
I majored in tiles and bricklaying, we in sweden also test for slopes, infact, it's an industri standard.
This isn't for "water leakage" but rather to make sure that flow of water is towards the drain so that it doesn't stand in some random corner
It's really sad how such a hard work could be destroyed with the first earthquake.
