Check my new project, works much better.

Water powered small fruit washing machine.
Set it up under the faucet; let the water run over the wheel and tumble the strawberries around
Volume: 115x185x175mm
Sample on video is 70% of final sizehttps://youtu.be/ZSBU49fC4FE
Modifications made:
Made bearing solid
Made three release holes inside "buckets" so water drains fastar.
Improvements needed:
Install some bristles to clean better.
Pressure pins needs adjustments- ok
The weight of the water slow the wheel down and "buckets" should empty faster when going up (vacuum effect create opposite force) - ok
Try to reduce the volume of water needed to spin the wheel.- on the go
