    30% bypass is quite normal setup for melbourne water.

    Can I ask where you got you've machine and filtration set up from?

      First up I would undo the inlet to the machine (after you have turned the water off!) and just check the thread looks ok and give it a clean and wipe with a rag. If it all looks OK then re screw on and nip it up with the correct spanner (don't over tighten as you can stress the internal pipe if you are not supporting it at the same time) Sometimes people use thread sealant tape but it shouldn't be necessary if you tighten it correctly.

      It sounds like you have a Brita filter of some sort set a t a 30/70 bypass. This should be fine for your location and water quality.

      Feel free to call me if you want to talk through it.

      Cheers
