3.5: Placing the System Under the Sink
The Aquaperform models MP880sB and MP880el are designed to mount to the
cabinet wall beneath the sink. These systems can also sit on the cabinet floor with
the use of an optional acrylic base. If you would like to order the Aquaperform acrylic
base, please contact Multipure Customer relations at 800.622.9206, ext. 175.
nOTe: The Aquaperform Dws weighs approximately 7.5 lbs. with a dry filter; the
system weighs more when the filter is wet. Before mounting the system on the wall
under the sink, please confirm that the wall will support the weight of the system.
The mounting bracket (MC129) is included with the system.
Model MP880SB
1. Before installing the below-sink mounting bracket, make sure that enough room exists
beneath the sink to remove the Dws from the bracket. You need several inches of
space both above and away from the mounting wall
2. Attach the mounting bracket to the wall:
a. Hold the bracket in place on the wall, making sure that the keyhole side is at the
top. use a pencil or other tool to mark the location for the mounting screws
through the keyholes.
b. screw in the mounting screws to the wall, making sure that you leave enough
space to hang and remove the bracket from the screws. nOTe: DO nOT install
screws for the bottom holes of the mounting bracket.
c. Place the mounting bracket over the screws to make sure that it sits properly –
tight enough to hold the Dws stable, but loose enough to remove when
necessary.
3. remove the mounting bracket from the wall screws.
4. Open the two bracket bands:
a. use a slotted (flathead) screwdriver to turn the screw on the bracket band’s worm
clamp counter-clockwise.
b. rotate the screw counter-clockwise until the band is fully open.
5. Thread each bracket band through the band slots on the mounting bracket:
a. slide the slotted end of one band through both sides of the top pair of band slots.
b. slide the slotted end of the other band through both sides of the bottom pair of
band slots.
6. wrap both bracket bands around the Dws housing top, above the locking V-Band.
7. Tighten the bracket bands:
a. Position the slotted end of the band at the mouth of its worm clamp opening.
b. Turn the worm clamp screw clockwise to tighten the band around the Dws housing. Tighten until the band is
secure.
c. repeat steps 7a and 7b for the other bracket band.
nOTe: Complete step 8 OnlY after all adapters and tubing are connected to the Dws.
8. Attach the Dws and bracket to the wall by hanging the bracket on the two installed wall screws (see step 2). Position
the larger holes of the bracket keyholes over the wall screws, and then slide the bracket down so that the screws rest
securely in the smaller holes of the bracket keyholes. Make sure that the Dws and bracket are fastened securely to
the wall before releasing your grip.
9. To remove the system for servicing, slide the Dws and bracket up, so that the wall screws are positioned at the larger
holes of the bracket keyholes. Pull the Dws and bracket away from the wall.

The MP8800sB, MP880sI and MP8800el units can also be placed "upside-down" in the acrylic sleeve. A notch has been
cut out of the sleeve to accommodate the tubing. In this configuration, it may be necessary to relieve air which builds up in
the stainless steel housing every two months.
To relieve the built-up air:
1. Turn on the Multipure filtered water faucet
2. with the faucet in the "on" position, and water flowing through it, pick up the stainless steel housing and turn it "right
side-up", so that the ports and tubing are now on top. You'll hear a "whooshing" sound come from the faucet as the
trapped air escapes through the open faucet. This should only take a few moments.
3. Once water continues to flow out of the faucet, return the housing back to its "upside down" position and turn off the
faucet.
