Rodi system and LEAKS!!!

sredzins · Aug 25, 2013

I'm really stressing about this. I ordered my brs 4 stage and hooked it up to my bathroom sink via garden hose connector to the faucet. I left it for a few minutes and I came back to a huge puddle under my sink. I shut it off and unhooked it. I went down stairs to see a small water spot on my ceiling about 3 feet off to where my sink is upstairs. The sink does not leak when run with out the rodi attached.

First off should I be worried that a pipe is now leaking or could the spot on the ceiling be from the puddle under the sink?

What kind of back pressure am I putting on the plumbing?

I live in a town house with neighbors below and to the side, and I don't want to cause leaks in their house too.

PLEASE HELP!

Well if there was a puddle under your hose attachment then I would say the water came from there.. Did you use Teflon tape?
The back pressure would be no different then the sink being off.. That's a non issue..

The water puddle probably followed the pipe down the whole and gathered on the drywall.. Just fix where you did your install..

Thanks, that's what I was hoping. Just wanted another opinion. I moved it to the kitchen sink and it is working much better now. The ceiling is drying up now and doesn't seem there will be any problems.
