It might be worth checking a large pet store too. There are all manner of gadgets out there to help apartment dwellers deal with filling and emptying aquariums as well as dog-washing.
There is an attachment for a drill that can be used to pump water but I'm not sure how long that would hold up under frequent use. You would need to have water from the kitchen faucet running into a bucket in the sink and use the drill pump to get it from the bucket through the hose to the patio reservoir. That would be a slow process but easier than carrying buckets through the living room.
There is another attachment that fits onto a regular aerator-type faucet and is threaded for a garden hose but it doesn't sound like your faucet is a type that would work with that.
