If it wasn't for bad luck... a leak from the cannisters, on a new installation? I can see a leak from the pipe connections, but the cannisters? holy crap!

Options

Return to place of purchase
Inspect threads, add a couple of turns of teflon tape
Be sure o ring is properly seated, add vaseline
Check filter position. If not seated properly (top and bottom) leaks are assured. Inspect the filter. If it looks scrunched, its out of position.

After all of the above has been done, inspect for leaks, take shower with wife inspect everything
