Check for possible leaks especially for the part that you have drilled. You also have to be very keen. You might not notice the leaks so make sure that the water is running while you are testing the valve.
There are a lot of instances wherein the water will not leak until few days ago. Be ready for your sealant since normally, all you have to do is to seal the source of the leak.Even though you are done with the installation, when you are using the faucet, you also have to check. It is also recommended to have a daily check on your filter is it has been filled with dirt and water particles.
