After connecting the diverter to my faucet from my countertop filter, water is leaking from the connection. How to I solve the problem?
Water can leak from the top of the diverter if you forget to put the black washer into the diverter before you connect it to your faucet (after you’ve removed the aerator). A black washer is supplied with all countertop filters. You should also use Teflon tape on the threads before installing the diverter if you still have a leak. For more advice visit Isopurewater.com

Well to answer the question we really need a bit more info about what kind of connection it is..I.e Is it a commpression fitting?Or is it some kind of snap together thing? So I’m going to assume it screws together.
1. Try tightening the connection
2.Try reconnecting it
3. Try putting teflon tape on the threads of the connection.

You don’t state if it is the screw on type.
Many newer faucets do NOT have sufficient or deep enough threads to make a good seal.
