First he put instrumentation in. Then they took it out. Finally, he
measured the flow rate with a bucket and weight scale. Which he should have
done months earlier.

This is what I told Defkalion I would do the moment I arrived. That is why
they cancelled my trip. I am sure it is also why Rossi canceled my trip.
These people do not want anyone confirming their claims by
industry-standard methods. That is one of the reasons you should not trust
them.

This is the industry standard method. It is described in Florida statutes
for boiler testing. If you are a licensed HVAC engineer, and you fail to do
this, they will take away your license.

Gamberale tried various other methods to confirm the measurements. He was
thwarted by Defkalion at every stage. Here is what he wrote:

The report goes on to say they reproduced the problem with backflow. It
does not say they went ahead and measured the flow with a bucket, but I
believe he told me they did. He describes how they reproduced the problem
in a footnote:
