SETTING UP YOUR SUMO SOFTENER

FITTING THE WASTE AND OVERFLOW CONNECTIONS

The waste and overflow connections need to be fitted by the end user. They are not preinstalled. This is to
protect the connections during transit.
Step 1 Remove the resin tank from the softener cabinet.
LIFT THE RESIN TANK FROM THE NECK - DO NOT TRY AND LIFT USING THE
WASTE CONNECTION AT THE TOP OF THE RESIN TANK.

ing large tube
Ensure that the bottom of
this valve is seated firmly.
Push it firmly into place if
is has loosened during
transit

Step 2
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. Failure to check this element may result in leaks.
Step 3 Waste Connection
Connect the 1/2" tube to the waste elbow on the valve (Figure 2). Make sure that the waste tube is pushed
well into the elbow arbour (Figure 3). Placing the tube in hot water for a few minutes to warm it will make this
easier
The waste tube must bend around the valve - anti-clockwise to prevent kinks or blockages
