Water temp looks way to high.

I've not checked the Swissflow so you may be right but the deposits in the Storm were not particles so much as gunk (if that makes any real difference). I had this loop setup over 90 days ago but it developed a leak in a poorly designed reservoir (my design ) so I set it aside. I did not completely drain it. I'm "guessing" the deposits were from sitting idle and having a small amount of water in it - not 100% drained.

In any case, adding a filter to the system is just going to add another restriction. If this low flow is a result of restriction at the flowmeter, I'm tempted to remove it and find another means to monitor flow. My main reasons for adding it in priority order were:

1) Safety - let me know when flow had dropped too low
2) Report flow for performance reasons

The flowmeter has already served both purposes but may also be part of the problem. Further testing (and disassembly) will be needed.

I believe the the temps are high because I've got this system setup for "quiet," at least at the moment. Everything is installed in a P180, all fans are controlled with the T-Bal and its closed up pretty tight. It is very quiet. I'll run a test with fans at max and improved ventilation and report the numbers back.
