[Amps] SS amps watercooling - was PowerGenius XL

[John Lyles]

I use 7 Altronic 200 kW loads. I visited the factory in Arkansas two 
years ago. Very nice stuff. We always put the flow switch/sensor in the 
outlet side of a system, where it returns to the pump or goes to drain. 
This way if the load blows up and begins to leak, it will not close the 
interlock switch and allow RF to power it.
