New house- brew room from scratch - hood vent or steam condenser?

I chose a steam condenser because I would have had to cut a couple of 6 inch holes through the brick veneer in the front of my house. I really didn't want to do that so I was glad to find a solution that didn't require that.

I have a 9 gpm nozzle in my system (I need to buy a 6 gpm). I estimated for a 90 minute boil that the cost of the water was about 23 cents. I'm getting more than 9 gpm due to my water pressure, but I can't remember how much more, but I also don't mind having lower temperature water going into my drain system. Water conservation is not a big issue with both the Missouri and the Mississippi rivers are close by.
