    Add insulation to the cold water pipes. Get closed-cell foam insulation and wrap it around the pipes. There are convenient sleeves available that already have slits down the side so you can just slide them on.

    You can buy insulation in 8' lengths for the pipes at Lowes or HomeDepot. Find it in the plumbing aisles.

    You probably can't. It's an older unit that has little room for improvement. Consider replacing the thing.

    Lag the pipes, same as most other solutions, insulate them.

    Only way I was ever able to fix that is with a wrap. That Styrofoam spongy wrap.
