5 L seems tight. Is the grain continuously submerged? I ran one at 17L which after 2L boin off and trub loss from the robobrew and then the fermenter probably only bottled 12-13 which about as much as I want from a batch. At that volume I got pretty good efficiency which means I did not feel the need to chase the dregs.
For cooling I transferred hot to the frementing bucket and used the pump to push cold water through the cooling coil from the robobrew while washing it out at the same time. Partly to save water and also as my kitchen sink tap is not hose friendly. It worked really well. Tipped heaps of water in, cleaned off all the gunk and flushed it out through the pump. Then flushed throuh a few gallons of cleaning solution. By the time I was done I had cool wort and a clean robobrew.
