    no they should be the 1/4" push style fittings? they are super strong and hold really well im suprised it came off, maybe it was not pushed in all the way?

    I got the coralife ro/di and it only came with the screw in faucet adapter. After i hooked it up i checked for leaks and it wasnt leaking anywhere.

    it should be 1/4" lines and your sink should be 3/8" get a 3/8x3/8x1/4 T and put it in your cold water line

    is there a valve for the waste water? if there is one and it was closed that could have given you the back pressure to blow the adapter off the faucet.

    that sucks to hear, hope it wasn't too hard to clean up

    No valve. Its a simple operation just the only thing i found faulty was the screw in adapter. (the hard way) I know now not to run the unit when im not home. Just goes to show i shouldnt have tried rushing. I just wanted to get past the first ten gals. so i could have some ro water and here it is tues and still no ro water. To any newb's reading this TAKE YOUR TIME!!!!! Im a newb also no hard feelings
