How much RODI does your ATO use?

My 120 with 40 breeder sump uses 1 gallon a day in the winter and 2 gallons a day in the summer, give or take.
I run a 10" fan on the sump in the summer which accounts for the doubling.
No heater in the summer and a 150 watt in the winter.
Tank runs 79-80°.
what part of the country are you in? Are you heating the place in winter?
 
Open top tank and sump. Average about 5% of total water volume per week (a little more in summer and a little less in winter).
surprised by less in winter, what state are you in?

I was thinking, heating in winter would cause more evaporation as it makes air dry

Redding Ca. 106 today.
Gets cold in the winter.
Really only 2 seasons, hot or cold.
Summer we keep house at 75 ac.
Winter heater at 70.

Colorado, it's pretty dry here most of the time. Increase in summer is due to using a fan for cooling. I also run a humidifier on the furnace in winter...
