That's funny, I never had any steam coming out of the tank, which had no leaks!
I wonder where all that evaporated water went?  <Please, please, PLEASE
think first, post later!!!>

P.S.  The person who pointed out that what I measured was only the tank
is quite correct.  I guess that, given I have copper plumbing,
I don't figure that I'm picking up much in the pipe.  Certainly one
would pick up more in old iron pipe!


P.P.S.  Please move this to net.imaginary.physics.
