What should be the difference between inside and outside air be when the thermostat is set at 68 with referigated air-conditioning in the home?

Depends on the outdoor temp. If it's 75 outside, your system should easily bring your house down to the 68 degree setpoint. If it's 100 degrees outside, you'll never get there. Unless, that is, your system is too big for your home. Then it will cool you down just fine, but you'll have humidity problems...that's a whole other discussion. Most central air conditioning units are designed to maintain a 75 degree indoor temp at 55% relative humidity on a 95 degree day. So a indoor/outdoor temperature difference of about 20 degrees or so is what you should expect.

If you only have dirt particles in the water you can go with a 20" Big Blue whole house filtration unit.

What is the different between VRV air conditioning and central air conditioning?

VRV is a system developed and designed by Daikin Industries and means "variable refrigerant volume". It is extremely efficient, reliable, energy saving ways to heat and cool all types of buildings with minimum installation time or disruption. The volume or flow rate of refrigerant is accurately matched to the required heating or cooling loads thereby saving energy and providing more accurate control. Central (ducted) air conditioning offers whole-house or large-commercial-space cooling, and often offers moderate multi-zone temperature control capability by the addition of air-louver-control boxes.
