Frequently Asked Questions What should I do if water leaks after installation? In the event of water leakage, turn off the water supply. If the water leakage is occuring at the thread, wrap Teflon tape on the external thread. If the water leakage is occurring at the quick connection position, insert the quickconnect fitting to the end and make sure the hoses hit the bottom of the fitting. Why doesn’t the TDS value lower after filtration? The main purpose of this filter is not to remove TDS.
