Leaky RODI faucet connector?

[Clown]

It's screwed in as tight as it goes. I mean I guess I could use plumber tape, but its kinda silly since I'm going to take it in and out of my faucet. It's the plastic one that shipped with my Coral Life. Should I buy a metal one? Or install something under the sink?

That thing will pop off you! Speak from experienceGet a metal one

Metal one costed me 10 bucks max...I also have an extra one

If the RO unit is going to be permanently mounted plumb it in under the sink
they sell a fitting that ties into you cold water feed that has a built in shutoff
that will end any leaking and eliminates the hassle of tying up the faucet

I vote install under sink, chances are you can do ti with about $10 in parts from HomeDepot.

Use a saddle valve and tie into a cold water line under the sink, or buy the metal faucet adapter with the button/lever to divert water to the R.O unit.

They make a piece for installing Ice makers that is not a saddle valve. You disconnect the hose going to the cold water faucet install the adapter screw the hose to the top of the adapter and on the side is a smaller fitting that the plastic ro hose will fit onto.No pipes are pierced this way.
