I agree with Sphelps that it's probably related to the humidity in your house. When it's cold and dry my evaporation is pretty significant. In the summer months, dramatically lower.

during summer, the humidity in the air gets so high that evaporation nearly stops sometimes. My tank can evaporate 2 gals per day, but right now it's around 1/2gal daily

Yes I remember Calgary winters being deadly dry... nose bleeds and the humidifier had to be refilled daily.

It is, thank you. I just refilled the fw this morning, basically went through 5 gls this week instead of 5 gls in a day.

My house is so dry in the winter, when really cold, I have to fill morning and night. This is a nice break.
