You might wanna start investing on good quality UPS for your brownout & electricity problems.. (need a good one, don't go cheap for it)... edit: for ups don't need expensive sine wave, online, or server grade ones.. just normal off line (backup) ups is enough, just don't skip on brands...

if u like some experimenting / handy works, u can cut the tube and install extension barbs & plug.. make sure buy the barbs and plug that fit for the tube Outer Diameter & Inner Diameter...
