    Whats up everyone.

    I just got a Coralife RO unit followed the exact insructions on setting it up.

    Everytime I connect it, something snaps off, and water leaks everywhere.

    How high do you turn on the facaut?, I have the faucet pretty low, and it still did it.

    Also, is there any other tips or precautions when using a RO unit.

    Thanks.

    I just got the 2 stage because I got for $90, and I guess its better than not using anything.

    no, it didnt come with one, I'll try using it again later on today. How high do you normally have the faucet turned up to, I barley had it on, and it still did it
