I need help my new Kinetico K5 is leaking.
The rag I placed under the K5 was wet when I checked the system late this morning. I pulled the system out and opened the side panel and there were droplets of water on the plastic base under the filters and along one side of the MacGuard filter. I traced the trail of water to the the top and opened the plastic manifold cover and pools of water were all over and I turned off the water inlet valve to shut down the system. I wiped off all the traces of water on the manifold dry especially around the meter and valve areas. I checked ALL the 3/8 lines for leaks and nothing there. I turned the water inlet shutoff valve back on and noticed droplets of water leaking from around the square R.O. valve housing.
What do I do now?
