Purenex Multipure Aquaperform - Manual (Page 9)

The Aquaperform faucet can be installed through a standard faucet hole or spray hose
hole in your sink, if one is available. If no hole is available, refer to section 3.2-a:
Drilling the Faucet Hole. note that there are separate sections for installing a faucet
with or without a capacity monitor.
Proceed to the instructions for your installation type:
1. For a standard faucet, proceed to section 3.2-b: Installing the Standard Faucet.
2. For a capacity-monitored faucet, proceed to section 3.2-c: Installing the Capacity
Monitor Faucet.
1. select and mark the faucet mounting spot on the sink.
a. Confirm that there are no reinforcing ribs under the desired faucet location.
b. If you have an extra hole in your sink for a spray hose, you may also choose to disconnect the spray hose and use
that existing hole for the Dws faucet.
2. use the hammer to gently tap the center punch on the sink location where the hole is to be drilled.
This creates an indentation marking the location to drill.
If You Have a Porcelain, Ceramic, or Cast Acrylic Sink:
CAuTIOn: Porcelain, ceramic, and cast acrylic surface materials are extremely hard and can crack or
chip quite easily. use extreme caution when drilling. Multipure is not responsible for any damages
resulting from faucet installation.
nOTe: If you are installing a capacity monitor, you MusT use the 1/2" high-speed steel drill bit for step 2.
1. use the 1/2" carbide-tipped masonry drill bit to grind away the porcelain down to the metal, clearing
away enough porcelain to allow drilling without damaging the porcelain surface.
2. Carefully use the 7/16” (or 1/2”) high-speed steel drill bit to completely drill a hole through the metal
sink. CAuTIOn: Do not allow the drill bit to “grab” the porcelain, as this will damage the surface.
If You Have a Stainless Steel or Metal Sink:
nOTe: If you are installing a capacity monitor, you MusT use the 1/2"
high-speed steel drill bit for step 2.
1. use the 1/8” high-speed drill bit to drill a pilot hole.
2. use the 7/16” (or 1/2") high-speed steel drill bit to completely drill a hole
through the metal sink.
