Coralife RO/DI - leaking at faucet

[krisco9]

I just bought a coralife Pure Flo II system 50 gpd and have hooked it up. I am having a problem with hooking the water line up to a faucet. I have tried 2 inside faucets and 1 outside faucet. And I still have a lot of water leaking out of the faucet and not going into the RO/DI system. Does anyone know how to fix this issue. I have tried to use all of the rubber rings that came with the product. Or is this normal?

Thanks!
Kristin

Try using several turns of teflon tape on the faucet threads.

It took several tries for me.

i think its normall i have the same thing and it does the same sucks but at leaste it does clean the water but if anyone does know i would like to know as well.....the best way i learned that it leaks the leaste would be with out the o rings

Is it attaching with a good connection or kinda loose?

I had to buy a little adapter to get the right fit to my sink.

It is a tight fit. I used the sink adapter and there was no leaking. Once i hooked up the hose it started leaking. Even thought that fit is tight.

I will have to try the teflon tape thing and see if that works. Thanks for the info.

Are you missing an o-ring/gasket?
