Ok. Thanks to all for your insight. Some of my concerns were not as critical as I thought. I guess sometimes overthinking creates more worries than actually exist. I will keep on keepin' on:p

I actually have a flow meter on the pipe just after the heater. On high speed, with a clean filter it registers just a click above 40gpm. That seems low for a 2hp pump. So I am not sure that the flow meter is accurate. Might be defective, although it is only 3 years old. I even took apart the...
