And another followup

It seems one of the two meters is busted. Perhaps the float string got tangled up, or something like that.

Followup

OK, so it is more than a year later. I figured out that one of the two meters seems to be sticky, by tapping on the meter and seeing it jump to approximately the same level as the other tank.

Thanks for the reply, Ferd.

I've settled on this Bosch because we're getting a solar hot water installed at the same time, and it is one of the few units that asserts it is compatible with pre-heated water. I has a high flow...

How do I get it home?
