Aquasafe RO/DI?

[Arok3000]

Like was mentioned, use a buttload of teflon tape on the fittings.
I snapped 2 fittings in the process because I tried to skimp on the tape, and my only issue with the fittings is they use metric fittings, wich aren't so readily available at your local hardware store.

Other than the fact that I am only using 2 DI stages because I snapped those fittings, I have been reading 0 TDS for 3 months now since I installed it.

I ended up buying a couple 1/8x1/4 hose fittings because i broke a couple over tightening(by hand...). They are expencive, was about $5 a fitting, but none of those ones leak, probably because they are metal and just tapped a new hole into the plastic.

I picked them up at fastenal, there's cheaper places around though, it's a 1/8 NPT with a 1/4" pressfit hose fitting. They worked, but a pain to find.

I've been using one for 5 years now, cant complain. TDS reading before the DI is zero.

I finally made the decision and bought the unit, took me 30 mins to install it(I only installed 2 DI units and I hook it up with kitchen faucet), the thing is it leaks everywhere, I tried very hard to screw and it still leaks, I wonder if it happens to you all? I plan buy buy some white plumbing tapes to see if that helps, am I able to do that?

where's it leaking?

almost half of those U shape connection leaks

Is the tubing pushed all the way into the fitting ? You must use teflon on all threaded joints.

Tubes are pushed all the way down, I now use teflon on all threaded joints, no more leaks, exception I broke one the elbow connector by turning it too hard
