How much water are you going to need? Once you have that answered is it going to be a pain to transport that quantity from work?

You will have a lot of waste water generated when using a reverse osmosis filter. Typically for every 1 gallon of RO water you will produce 4 gallons of waste water. The waste water is plumbed into the drain under the sink typically if hooked up under the sink. From you're picture they have included the drain pipe section that was under the sink previously.

I would be prepared at having to purchase new filters. Manufactures all have different instructions and claims about longevity of components and livespan of RO membranes stored wet and/or dry.

I had the same problem with ac when I was in an apartment with the 120. try getting a dehumidifyer.... The moisture from the tank, can clog ac filters and make ac units run bad. Start by checking to make sure the moisture in the air has not cloged the filter for your airconditioning

In my old apartment it was a combination of the humidity in the apartment from the tank. And the brickwork leaking on the exterior of the aprtment. clogged up the unit to where it could not pull the moisture out of the air fast enough to cool down the place.
