I just installed the MAXIMUS one last week, and am very happy. A few leaks when installing, but nothing major. Buy some teflon tape and make every connection so fat with teflon that the water will have no choice but to stay in the tubing!

I am a renter as well. To install it, I went to Home Depot, bought an A VALVE, and attached it onto my cold water feed. It's on 24/7 that way, and automaticallly keeps the tank full of water. It cost me about 3.50 for the valve, and as long as you have a wrench, it's super easy to install (I had to buy one of those too... I hate being a student, you don't own even the most basic tools).

In all, it took me about an hour to install, and I am awful with "trade" skills. Go with the A Valve, you'll be happy.

PM if you have any other questions..

Cheers,

Chad
