255-100 Novalynx Analog Output Evaporation Gauge

10

Assuming you refill the pan once a day and the evaporation rate is 10 mm
(1 cm) per day, the amount of water you’ll use is:

(1 cm/day)(11,674.56 cm²) = 11,674.56 cm³/day or

11.675 liters/day or 3.1 gallons/day

If you use a 125 gallon tank, you will need to refill the tank in approximately:

(125 gallons)/(3.1 gallons/day) » 40 days
