Refill evaporation

I bought a fan to regulate the water temperature, but it is evaporating the water faster than before.

To top off this evaporated water, is tap water enough or should I use demineralized water?

Is my net set up correctly?

I bought a plastic mesh to keep the aquarium cooler. I found out it can decrease the water temperature by 1°C, but I'm not sure if it's tight enough.

I will buy a chiller in the near future (may be a Baoshishan), but in the meantime, this and my A/C should do the job.

Chiller or cooling fan?

I've had an axolotl since December, so this is my first summer with it. My aquarium is 100L and the water temperature has already reached 20°C, while it's 32°C outside.

I need to buy something to cool it down.

I've seen cooling fans like this one (https://amzn.eu/d/0eloboKY), but I'm not sure if a fan will be enough or if I actually need a proper chiller.

The price difference is huge—the fan is 60€ and the cheapest chiller I've found for my tank volume is 250€.

If a fan isn't going to cut it, which chiller would you recommend?
