WDRP will be telling us soon enough. It is possible the heat directed back is just the boost it needs.

Good thoughts BeerisGood, but a little off on a couple things:

And very little water can absorb it. The heating of the water will come from the operation of the magnetron itself, not from the result of the operating. - The water running by the magnetrons will be able to absorb most of the heat as it flows past the magnetrons starting from the instant where the magnetron is at a higher temperature than the water. Water and most metals conduct heat very well, and the water will absorb almost all the heat from the point that the magnetron temperature exceeds that of the water. The only "lost" heat will be the amount to get the magnetron to the temperature of the water (which will eventual get transferred to the static water when it is not running)

Codes may change but friction loss, volume and flow for a 1/2" pipe will not. It's just a water heater correct? Or does it have a pump also? - The water in water lines are already under pressure (+/-60 psi off the top of my head). This is more than enough for water to travel through a 1/2" pipe (unless there's 1000's of feet of it!). The friction factor for water is very low as it is a newtonian fluid with a plastic viscosity of around 1 centipoise.
