New rodi unit, broken!

[Kial]

so my new rodi unit came today,after messing up buying a cheap one from eBay I decided to spend some decent money on one.
After setting it up, it starts leaking water from the side and there’s a crack :(
I’ll have to go another week or so using tap water, which reads at 156 TDS which I know is not good. Should I do a large water change with fresh rodi when I finally get a working one? I’m worried I’m going to be getting a bad case of algea going any longer with this water.

I would use some natural sea water;) just make sure it real clear and clean. You are right there:)

Probably put all sorts into my tank doing that aha.
