I received this today. I want to start making water for a change this weekend. It comes with a faucet adapter but it's to big for my faucet but fits the one outside for my garden hose. What do I need to fit this on my kitchen sink? Pics of part to follow; have to load from phone.

Hallelujah!
Just be sure with the RO buddy that you push the tubes into the connectors tightly. You should feel a second sort of sliding before it fully sets, then gently pull a bit and place ring washer on.
I had a leak and the tube not being set correctly on set up was the cause.

Thanks for the tip Mark. I checked Lowe's and Homedepot sure and did not see anything that would work. Supposed to be 50 degrees tomorrow so will start making water outside.

Water params:
Tap - 160
RO - 2
RODI - 30

I don't understand why it jumped to 30. Did I not let the DI resin flush enough?

I took the hose and put it into a glass directly and tested and it's 0.
I assume that the cartridge did not filter enough at first or its the bucket. I scoped some water from the plastic bucket when I tested before.
Thanks everyone seems I'm good now.
