Maybe the render mode in the Rendering panel is not Mesh?

can you select the simulator and type in the listener $.surflevel ?

Yup, so try

$.surflevel = 0.5

Could you just check the About box in the Simulation panel and paste here the Build ID?

what does surflevel mean to phoenix fd? why the default value is so high that the liquid can't be rendered?

a legacy problem, phoenix started as fire/smoke simulator and this value was used to render fires as liquid, it's considered to be the border temperature of the flame.
