Straight Line Sumo Is Discontinued: How to Keep Your Sumo Ballast Bags in Action

If you've been using Straight Line Sumo ballast bags to improve your wake, you may be wondering what's next with the unfortunate discontinuation of the Straight Line Sumo Max pump. Don't worry—we've got you covered! We'll walk you through the best solution to keep your Sumo bags in top working condition, ensuring you can keep having fun on the water.

Why the Discontinuation of the Sumo Max Pump Matters

The Straight Line Sumo Max pump was specifically designed to be compatible with Sumo ballast bags, offering a quick and efficient way to fill and drain them. The pump's compatibility with the Sumo system's Link Valve meant that it was a go-to solution for many customers.

But with the pump no longer available, it leaves a gap in your setup, especially if your current pump has stopped working or if you're a new customer who recently purchased Sumo bags and just now realized the pump is discontinued.
