Losing water in pool

Problem description
For phetsims/qa#1149.
While running a fuzz test on Buoyancy, I noticed that the liquid volume of the pool would go under 98.2 L. It looked like it was on the last screen, though the fuzz test went fast enough it was hard to tell. I didn't see any console errors and haven't figured out how to do this without fuzzing.

Do you still have the tab open? You can type this to stop the fuzzing:

phet.chipper.queryParameters.fuzz =false

Then you can see specifically if the pool has lost water. I'm also curious if that is indeed a problem, if resetting all brings back the water.

I can reproduce it after a few minutes of fuzzing. I'll see what I can find.

I might have found it. If the boat floods, then when bringing it up the pool volume drops quite a bit, which seems normal. It's hard to tell if that's what I'm seeing while fuzzing, but it's my best guess at this point. May be a false alarm.

Ok sounds good. That makes sense to me, and I also see code that resets the pool to the right value on reset all so likely it isn't a case where the pool can get very very off while fuzzing since resetting occurs so often.

Feel free to close and let me know if you want to discuss anything else.
