Aquatic Life RODI Buddie Problems?

[fiddledragon]

[UPDATE - I reset all my tubing and that fixed the leaking. THANK YOU!!!]

Hi - I'm installing my AquaticLife RODI Buddie 50g system, and I feel like I'm being gaslit.

I was able to connect the tubing just fine.

I found couplings so I could attach it to the shower (the only place I can reasonably do this - my sink faucet doesn't have the connections needed to use it at all).

Once we got the connection at the shower figured out an (mostly) not leaking, all of the rest of the connections are leaking - ESPECIALLY the filtered water tube connection. This is useless! I would also expect more water to come out of the waste tubing than the filtered water tubing, but...nope. Barely anything out of the waste tubing.

What the heck am I doing wrong? Or did I just get a defective one?

Can you put up a picture of how you have it connected to your shower?

I have found that connecting to a garden hose works best for me.

Also did you buy the RO pre-assembled or did you assemble it yourself?

Thank you to a comment on my build thread, I reset all the tubing, and fixed the leaking!
