We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember snipped-for-privacy@technologist.com saying something like:
Typical art student bodge, too - he could have used copper. If you inspect the inside you'll probably find a month-old sock.

Well thanks for that - I've just spent most of the morning exploring the site and still haven't finished!

I'm waiting for those who'll say that the piping won't stand up to the temperatures ...

Have them throughout and you'd need a 1 kilowatt pump due to the resistance...

That's not strident, sneering or argumentative enough :-)

Because of turbulence and/or cavitation around those bends, I would expect. I've not done any sums though.
