Question on Solar and Battery charging when in FHU Park. I have 600W Solar system with TS45 PWM Charge controller. My battery bank that I am using is 4 GC2. I am a high dc user, during evening to morn...

You shouldn't lose any appreciable water (more than usual, you will lose some) in the batteries if the controller is set up correctly. What controller are you using?
I am using Morningstar TS45 PWM controller. Running it on their program #4 (Aborp 14.4V, Float 13.4V, Equal 15.1V) So far, from what I can tell, it seems to be working out Ok for me. Gary
You'll probably have time this Winter to observe what the batteries are doing and adjust your controller voltages to a point where you get full charge by afternoon. I know some guys on here that have their controllers set to almost total absorption. Since we'll have 15-16 hrs of night, the batteries just drift down with nighttime use.
