If the riser tube is not seated properly in the head of the vessel then the "in" water can leak through and contaminate the "out" (treated) water

or the riser could be damaged...

This happened to me. I used plumbers tape at the top of the riser tube to get a good seal

Down south we call a "long stand" a "long weight" but spelled differently ...

ian why would it pass too quickly?

If you use a booster pump it may push the water through very quickly.  This is OK for the RO because the contamination is stopped by the membrane, but resin works by absorbing the contaminants onto the surface of the resin beads.  If the water is flowing too quickly through the resin, it doesn't have time to work, so doesn't remove all the contaminants.
