Default Funky Swissflow readings?

Okay, I've finally got my watercooling setup. I had to set it aside for the last 3 months because of work but I finally got it together.

I'm runnning an Opti 175 on an ASUS-SLI Deluxe and CPU / water temps are in the low 30s. No overclocking yet. Antec 180 case. The loop is a Laing D5 pump > Storm G4 > Reservoir > Swissflow > Thermochill PA160 Rad running through 7/16" hose. I'm using an mCube T-Bal to monitor temps / flows and manage the fans. In general, it looks good.

However ...

Per the T-Bal readings the Swissflow is showing less than 2,000 impulses per minute. If I understand the way the Swissflow works, that would equate to about .33 liters per minute. The Swissflow is rated at 6,100 pulses per liter per the manufacturer at
http://www.swissflow.com/en/SF800/Fl...Specifications.

With this loop I was expecting to get about 4 liters / minute, which equates to 24,000 impulses per minute.

So either:

1) I'm missing something here in the math

2) T-Bal is doing something strange with the readings

3) I have a blockage, or

4) The Swissflow is defective

I hope you guys can help me and thanks in advance.
