I don't know in Spain, but here in Argentina, when you complain about something, and someone says "ajo y agua" it means "a joderse y aguantarse" (roughly: put it up with it, as well as you can). It's quite informal, BTW.
It's true that ajo means garlic and agua means water, but it's a pun considering that these two words sound like the beginning of the two parts of the expression.

Correct = ajo, garlic agua, water
It doesn't make any sense in spanish. What I think is your have heard half of it, and that's very common as we spanish speakers pronounce very fast. Maybe he said "bajo agua", which is "under water". That has some sense, even if I don't have the whole sentence.
Bye bye.

Is used when something that you don't want happens and you have to accept it.
ajo ---- A joderse
Agua --- A aguantarse
