**Edit: This one is cheaper, but doesn't have the booster pump included in the previous deal (which isn't really needed unless you have low water pressure like a well system.) A permeate pump (different than a booster pump) might be a worthwhile add-on if you want faster water production and less waste though.
the o-ring was pinched during install, or
the o-ring was not lubed during install, or
cartridge is not tight enough (hand tight is not enough).
with time, all cartridge housing will start to crack and need to be replace.
transparent cartridge housing have a life span of 5 years or so.
non-transparent cartridge housing have a life span of 10 years or so.
always check the inside of the cartridge housing for cracks when replacing filter.

its basic physics really.
it requires a lot of pressure to force liquid from one side of a filter to the other.
the pressure from city water has enough energy to filter about 1 gal clean and 4 gal waste.
really good and expensive system,
get to 1 gal clean to 1 gal waste with pumps, special filters, and tons of electricity.
here's a good read:
https://premieresales.c
go to "Amount of water sent to drain per one gallon of RO water produced"
has a table comparing different RO system's performance with time.
just something to get your feet wet.
If you're worried about water waste/consumption, you could plumb your brine hose to a storage tank and use it for watering vegetation, or use a booster pump and put it back into your hot water pipes for use in showers, etc.
I use RO for cooking, hot water makers, and humidifiers... anything that has potential of mineral buildup, if anyonr is looking for a good reason to get one.

Theres people who use the waste as runoff right into ground and it killed the grass.

The "waste" water I ran to a 55gal drum and use for watering vegetable garden.
I would avoid these no name brands with shill posters and bought reviews.
APEC is a really good brand for RO system.. of course its not $100 either.
I have installed 6 of their systems. and only had 1 issue.. and it was amazon's fault.
APEC did send me as a 1 time curtesy the missing part from amazon's "warehouse deal"
Amazon's warehouse deal items are considered used with no warranty (didnt know that at the time).
If you dont like changing the filters, you can buy special model with quick connect filters.. no wrench and fiddling needed.
