Maybe you had a smaller one.or maybe my water evaporated no ideaBut you said they draw a liter a day, which wasn't my experience. More like 500mL at best, and even that's pushing it.
Nope, and nope. I bought the XL ones. If you look at the item description below, where I highlighted the text at the bottom, you can clearly see that they are advertised as emitting 125ml per day. Not sure how you got 8X the rated output from yours.Maybe you had a smaller one.or maybe my water evaporated no idea
