Default RO Filter

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.
