really so easy to hook up. Dont need to get a Aquasafe but look through their instructions to see what's involved.

As for the bathroom could have the unit mounted under the sink and when it's time to fill a jug, just place the jug in the bathtub or sink (in-case it overflows and drop the output line into the jug. If you have a pressurized reservoir (~4g), then it's just a matter of filling up the jug (handy for evap top ups)

I forgot to add, if your only filling buckets occasionally, You could just get a faucet adaptor, and connect to sink. I ran mine Since Jan that way. Wife would make water, put RO unit on counter, connect to kitchen fauset, and drop waste line down drain, good line in 5g bucket. about 3 hrs and bucket was done.

Now I have 2 100L rubbermaids that I keep full, one FW, one SW mixed for changes.

I run a Kent sys, only cause I got it cheap off Ebay. From what I gather, they all use generic size canisters, so Aquasafe or pretty much any other brand that fits your budget. One thing, the more chambers, the better. I wouldn't get less than a 4 chamber.

Sediment filter
Carbon filter
RO Membrane
DI canister
