Has anyone ever had this happen to them before? I woke up to a gugling return pump and have no idea what happened. There are no leaks anywhere, my A/C is on the same level, im stumped. It went from 1.5 gal to about 4.5 gallons.

With a change in the relative humidity in your house your evaporation rate will change somewhat. I do have a small tank that the rate changes quite a bit. But that is an awful big change in just one night so I would make sure that you didn’t develop a leak some where.

I've noticed that sometimes I use a lot of make up water, other times not as much.
Would something like a dehumidifier help control evaporation?--MattComment

IMO As long as you keep the RH stable you will keep your evap rate fairly stable (not easy to do). Using a dehumidifier may keep things more stable IF your house is tight (newer) but you will probably evap more water.

It might make it more constistent but at the same time I think it will increase it.Originally posted by tonkadawg
The last time I had that much change in evaporation it didn't evaporate until it dripped on the carpet.

Its definately bizzare. It could be due to a increase in humidity in the past few days due to hurricane wilma throwing bands up this way. My house is not new, built in the early 80's. Also, there is definatly not a leak as there is no water anywhere than where it should be. I guess thats it.Sean

The increase in humidity should decrease evaporation. Did you check the water level in the overflows if you have any?

Make sure the water level in your tank did not increase. If the overflow slows down, it will allow for a higher level in the tank, and a lower sump level.BrianComment

I checked the overflow it is normal. Evaporation seems to be normal again today as well. I dont know
