Ever meter out how much waste water your rodi dumps down the drain? But we won't turn this into a debate will we. A few days a year to not kill all my corals, not feeling all that guilty. Would feel worse killing off my tank.
Chiller is great if you can vent hot air it pumps out. As well consumes a fair bit of power, most likely from a hydro electric dam.
Fan helps ( which I also have hooked up) but puts tons of moisture into your house.
