Water Top up

[charlie]

Hi

After installing a chiller, will the water evaporation less? or how many times less as compare to fans. Usually I top up once every 3-4 days within a week, wat abt for case of a chiller ? Can anyone advise? Thanks

Of cause the evaporation will be less. Fans cool the water by evaporation. The more water evaporate, the lower the temperature can go. I am actually quite amazed that you only need top up water only 3-4 days a week. I need to top up 3-4 liters each day.

Your question has too many variables eg. tank size, ambient room temperature, wind, MH light wattage etc, everyone will have different results.

But simply... yes, you will have much less evaporation compared to before.

Use a marker pen and make a mark at your water level in your sump and top it up to that level everyday.

If you not using sump then mark the water level on your main tank and top up to that mark.
