    My 150 gal w/30 gal sump goes through almost a gallon of water per day....no leaks, and about a cup from the skimmer a day...Is this normal evaporation? ...How much does everyone elses tanks go through? I do live in dry AZ. Nick

    1 to 2 gallons per day depending on what speed the fan is on...

    5-7 gallon a week, on a very hot day I evaporate more.

    10 gallons per....... DAY. I figure I have maybe close to 600 gallons of water in my system. My R.O. unit barely outdoes my freshwater topoff..... which is wierd.. it is supposed to make 50 gallons a day, but only makes about 20. Probably need to change the filters or something huh?
