[BUG] Counterflow cooler work not as expected or not working at all

1) i Connect tubes to the water input (tap) / output (sink) and mash input / output.
but it doesn't work. Counterflow cooler does not pass liquids through itself and that's all.

i try to tried different builds (with/without pumps), different height and etc...

same result.

2) another problem with tap.
if you wanna fill pot with pump.
water will fill up to the mark of exactly 20L and water runs out at the tap.
(solve -> save/load)

FYI - Counter flow chillers zero out your IBUs [BUG] so skip them for now. (as of 10/2)

BUT, to use them currently you need a brew pot with a tap. Water in/out as expected with sink. Pot Top -> Chiller Wort In, Chiller Wort out -> Top of Pot.

They go in brew pots, you circulate cold water through them. I have no idea what you wanted to try pouring mash through it. The basic chiller doesn't zero your IBUS (I think they all are meant to lower IBUS, but the higher grades missed a few zeros and empty completely)

I dont think is a bug , im not a beer maker so i dont know, but from what i have seen is if you only use them in the contamination window 50c-30c i think it is, you lessen the lose of IBU and flavor so then if you "overshoot" your goal, everything then settles out just fine i feel the more powerful the cooler the more the "lose" so bal;ance and math is needed,the this however does not effect the imersion cooler as the wort never leaves the pot. so it works if is a bug i dont know but seems to make sense is a trade off.

I haven't personally interacted with the bug yet, but zeroing or near zeroing IBU should not be possible. Maybe lightly reducing. Many people do not like bitter beer. If it was possible to zero the IBU without drastically altering a brew it would be utilized in the real world.

I confirm that any of the counterflow chillers (the ones with the red tubes, that are placed beside the kettle) bring the IBU to zero. The immersion cooler doesn't have that problem currently
