Sure we could throw thousands of dollars at the problem of measuring flow rate directly in our system's loop, but Sean's suggestion would get reasonably close without much money being expended.
Eh, that's what I wrote, non?

Low restriction meters are easy to find, but they're still pricey. One *can* get lucky, as I did. (now all I need are pressure measurements)
