- Page 2 Your SUMO water softener is a high performance single tank non electric water softening product designed to eliminate limescale (calcium and magnesium ) in residential environments. It is not a water purifier. It is recommended that you fit this softener to a municipal water supply.
- Page 3 What to expect from your water softener? All water softeners work on the same basic principal. Hard water flows through a bed of resin and the calcium and magnesium, the minerals that are responsible for hard water, are removed. This does NOT affect the ph value of your water supply.
- Page 4 SUMO Water Softener Planning your installation– the plumbing part. Always observe the water bylaws. Make sure there is only one rising main and that you are allowing space for access to the unit, for filling with salt and possible maintenance in the future.
- Page 5 SUMO Water Softener Installing your softener (the plumbing part) Installations will vary. Ensure you have set up your inlet and outlet valves as per these configurations. We recommend that you use a competent tradesman if you are unsure about any aspect of your installation.
- Page 6 Inspect the brine valve to ensure that the large tube is correctly fitted and hasn't moved during shipping. En- sure it is firmly in place. This is really important as the brine line will be under pressure when your Sumo sof- tener is in service.
- Page 7 Step 4 - Testing your incoming mains water for level of hardness. Your Sumo water softener is supplied with a water test kit. Follow the simple instructions supplied with the kit in order to establish the hardness of your water. It is measured in parts per million (ppm).

- Page 12 SUMO Water Softener MAINTENANCE Now that your water softener is installed and up and running it requires very little maintenance. The key thing is ensure that it always has a supply of salt in the brine tank. Salt replenishment Ensure that you check the tank on a regular basis. If you allow the salt to run down before refilling, the system will produce hard water until the salt is replenished.

The salt level in my sumo softner is hardly reducing after four weeks use. Haven't heard any regeneration in progress. Can you help Many thanks
The salt level in the East Midlands Water Company SUMO softener may not be reducing after four weeks of use due to salt bridging or salt sticking to the side of the brine tank. This can prevent proper dissolution and use of the salt during regeneration. To resolve this, use a blunt wooden spatula to gently push the salt into the brine, ensuring it is properly utilized. Avoid using sharp implements to prevent damage to the brine tank.
