Hey, speaking of dirty water, there was a really worthwhile observation on that thread: "Could be anything. Rust, dirt, bacteria. If Rossi wouldn't just let it circulate with a mild 20 kW heating once per circle, *it'd all clog up in whatever part is supposed to turn that filth into steam.*"

Jed, You said the pipe was DN40. There is no way one would put a DN80 flowmeter on a pipe that small. I assume it was mounted on a DM80 pipe and that was why it was as large as it was. I depended on memory because I didn't want to take the time to look it up. Without the piping drawing it

To summarize: I think the flow meter is installed downstream from the heat exchanger, where there is liquid water at ~68°C. From there, the water flows downhill (by gravity only) back to the reservoir. Since the pipe is larger than it needs to be for this volume of water, it is half full. - Jed
