FITTING THE WASTE AND THE OVERFLOW CONNECTION (continued)

SUMO Water Softener

Step 3 Installation of the waste and the overflow (continued from previous page)

Make sure there are no kinks or restrictions on the waste tube. Keep the tube as straight as possible to avoid
bottlenecks or syphoning. The waste installation must have suitable aeration to prevent waste water from
returning back to the softener. If you need to elevate the waste tube, it is possible to raise it a maximum of
1.5metres provided that the minimum inlet pressure is 4 bar. Double check that the waste is fitted around the
valve in an anti clockwise direction - failure to achieve this will result in damages in the waste pipe and to
your new softener.

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).

It is important that your softener is set up correctly in order to cope with the hardness of your water. Municipal
water supplies across the UK vary in degrees of hardness. Not all areas are the same. If you do not adjust or
check your hardness level setting, your softener might not operate correctly.

Step 5 Setting your hardness level

See diagrams and images on page 8. Familiarise yourself with the elements of the brine tank before
you start any adjustments.

Remove the small blue plastic locking clip on the adjustment knob. It is simply removed by gently using
your fingernail or a small screwdriver. It is plastic so over zealous removal may result in damage. Put
this clip to one side. The clip prevents any tampering or misuse of the settings.

By depressing the adjustment knob, you can rotate the dial to show the desired setting. The viewer for
the programmer has a small arrow which indicates which setting you have selected. The adjustment
knob is easily turned using a small flat head screwdriver with light downward pressure.

Ensure you line up your required softened water setting with this arrow. The schematic diagram shows the
letters A-H. Your Sumo softener will show a range of settings from 100 through to 525.

The dial will ‘click’ for each turn and increment the setting by varying units on each click.

Simply select the correct number to match your hardness setting as per the table below. For example if your
water hardness test shows your water at 360ppm - we recommend that you select 350 plus one click. If your
hardness is 270ppm select 250plus one click

Once you have selected the correct level, replace the blue plastic locking clip to prevent accidental move-
ment of the adjustment knob.
