How to Use Soft Water (continued)
Special care for plants and fish.
an outside hard water faucet, or by-pass your Sumo water system before watering.
See "By-passing your system" on page 3 for instructions on by-passing your system.
You may also prefer to water houseplants with hard water or water from a reverse
osmosis system. Fish accustomed to hard water may have trouble with an abrupt
change to soft water. Make the change gradually over a period of seven to 14 days by
blending hard and soft water until the tank contains 100 percent soft water. Once you
begin using soft water, you should notice that your fish tank stays cleaner longer.
How to Use Your System
Your Sumo Water Softener is a marvel of modern engineering and was selected specifically to address your
water conditions. Sumo uses innovative technology to deliver effective and efficient water softening to protect
your home, deliver optimal water quality to you and your family, and save you money, all while providing years
of trouble-free operation.
Your system operates in two primary modes:
Online:
Your water passes through the softening resin in your system's media tank to remove the hardness
minerals quickly and effectively.
Rapid Regeneration:
Sumo cleans itself in as little as six minutes with a brine solution when the resin media
capacity is exhausted. After regeneration, the brine solution is rinsed from the resin bed, leaving it completely
clean and ready to soften again. Compare Sumo to traditional softeners that usually require more than an hour
for regeneration!
