If it's the threads can use plumber dope or there's thin teflon tape that's used on plastic parts. The hose make sure the ends aren't at an angle and pushed all the way in.
The gauge can just be tee'd between the source and the filter, would need to buy a tee fitting. For the screw in filters, if the o-ring is in place, clean and the seats free of debris, there should be no reason is should leak after being tightened by hand. Give a good twist though. Bladder, can be charged up with a bike pump. You got the instructions?

If you are going to use teflon tape make sure you apply in the opposite direction the threads are in so you dont take the tape off while trying to "screw together".

Thanks for the help. I am going to have my fiance try and fix it with your suggestions. (If I touch it, surely it will flood the entire house or something due to my ub3r l33t diy skillz  *insert sarcasm here*)Quote:

Okay, we teflon taped the screw in dealies and re-cut some of the lines. Looks like it isn't leaking now *crosses fingers*.
How the heck do you flush the ro membrane? The intructions on the site have it with this little valve that the new version does not have. The one I have has a metal turny valve thing. I don't know if I am supposed to turn it so there is lots of water coming out of the yellow tube (waste tube) or none to flush the membrane. Little help? Here is a pic of that thing. http://www.aquasafecanada.com/New%20...20Resistor.JPG Also, how much water should be coming from the waste line in normal operation? Drips? A trickle? A steady flow?? So far the tds coming in is 240 and coming out of the ro line is 43. But what is wierd is the tds coming out of the waste water line is 230?? I'm confused...  Also, shouldn't the tds coming out of the ro line be like 0? This thing is brand new.
