Common Questions:

There has been a drop in my home's water pressure. What can be the cause?
water pressure can indicate that it is time to change your prefilter. If you do not have a prefilter with your
system or changing the filter has no effect, contact the company that installed your system.
My system seems to be regenerating more frequently. Is this normal?
operated, adjusting automatically to your water usage. If you do not think that your water usage has
increased due to extra house guests, additional laundry or some other reason, check for any leaky plumbing,
dripping faucets or running toilets, all of which can contribute to more frequent regenerations.
My water doesn't seem soft. How can I be sure that my system is regenerating properly?
that the water supply to the softener is not by-passed, that the SoftSet softness adjustment valve is not
open, and there is salt in the cabinet or separate brine drum (on systems so equipped). Follow the instructions
in the "Manual Regeneration" section of this manual to manually regenerate the softener. If the unit does
not advance through to the next regeneration automatically, please contact your Monument Water Systems
representative for further assistance.
I can hear my Sumo system running or regenerating during the day. My old softener only used to
run at night. Is this normal?
your water usage, without timers or electronics. So your system quickly regenerates whenever necessary, at
any time of day.
How will I know when it is time to add salt?
see water, it is time to add salt. You can add salt anytime there is enough room to accommodate additional
blocks or pellets.
Is it okay to drink soft water?
with sodium chloride (salt), keep in mind that there will be a small amount of sodium added to the softened
water. People who are on sodium restricted diets should consider the added sodium as part of their overall
sodium intake.
If at any time you feel your Sumo water system is not operating properly, by-pass the system and call
the company that installed it.
