My first ro/di..I STILL need help =/

[sharuq1]

Hmmm....mine is leaking both from the threads and the place the hose goes in. Tried silicone on one screw-in place but of course that did not work.

On top of that my fiance thought it would be a good idea to depressurize the tank a bit even though it says in the instructions in bold to NOT mess with it *insert exasperation here*

The pressure meter....I have no idea how to use it. There does not seem to be any place to put it on the unit. Do I unhook the orange hose and stick it on there a moment and then try and get it off again whilst water sprays in my face or what? lol... If someone could post a pic of how and where to use it that would be great.

The screw in fittings--can I use epoxy or something very permanent on them or will I then be unable to change my filters?
