Yeah that's how I felt too... makes me wish I lived in a house versus an apartment, I would totally buy an RO filtration system...lol
On the bright side, your tanks are nanos so you would only need to lug a lot of water at first (less if you mix with tap). Subsequent top offs and PWC's should only be done in moderation to keep the water parameters stable. I started getting my RO from those water dispenser machines usually found in front of the supermarket. It's 5 gallons for $1. Just think of it as the "labor of love!" Haha
I had a consumer RO system in my last house, would probably take all day to get 5 gallons out of a consumer system! I'm also in an apartment now... a small apartment.
It's the love part I'm questioning, not the labor... he he he
Atleast you're lugging jugs for a pico tank. 5 gallons could last 2-3 weeks for top offs and tiny water changes.
Now I just need to find a spot to store a 5-gallon water bottle for 2-3 weeks... these small tanks are going to force me to move to a larger place (oxymoronic, no?)
