not an expert on merlins mate but was it working well before you changed filters?if so take them out and check everything again to make sure you haven't made a mistake-also flush the filters only for a good 5 mins before connecting to membranes

thanks, but had no water before these replacements(well they were 3 years old) so thinking it could be manifold (another £170, if i can get one) :'(

There's no moving parts, etc, in the manifold to go wrong. It's all moulded plastic.

Are you sure the water pressure is high enough?

If I use mine indoors without the booster pump the water just drips out as well.

did you change the prefilters.
check there is good flow after the pre filters.

everything else on the RO can be washed/cleaned out. just do it one bit at a time.
