TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE!

Always maintain your spa filter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water.

Refer to pages 69-71 for additional information.

Required Filter Maintenance

Your new hot tub is equipped with an advanced MicroClean® Ultra water filtration system that provides unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum water quality at all times, you should replace the filter cartridge every six months, or earlier as necessary. The filter cartridge is designed to be thrown away! Attempts to reuse the filter cartridge may result in the re-release of unwanted particles back into the hot tub. See pages

69-71 for detailed filter cartridge replacement instructions.

Required Water Replacement

!

TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE!

You should replace the hot tub’s water every 3 to 6 months. The frequency depends on a number of variables including frequency of use, number of users, and attention paid to water quality maintenance. You will know it is time for a change when you cannot control sudsing and/or you can no longer get the normal feel or sparkle to the water, even though the key water balance measurements are all within the proper parameters. See

pages 76-78 for additional information.

4.0 Locating Your Sundance Hot Tub

IMPORTANT:

Because of the combined weight of the spa, water and users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the spa rests be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight, without shifting or settling, for the entire time the spa is in place. If the spa is placed on a surface which does not meet these requirements, damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell may result. Damage caused by improper support is not covered under warranty. It is the responsibility of the spa owner to assure the integrity of the support over time. We recommend a poured, reinforced concrete slab with a minimum thickness of 4 inches (10 cm). Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is constructed so that it meets the requirements outlined above.

!

WARNING:

For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into main structural support, consult a professional Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.

880 Series

The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away from it. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper drainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood the equipment and create a wet condition in which it would sit in. For spas which will be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to permit access to the equipment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of all side cabinet panels and access to components, especially on the side with the equipment bay doors.

CAUTION:

If the spa is indoors or located in an enclosed area, proper ventilation should be discussed with an Engineer or authority competent enough to understand the necessary provisions needed to vent moist or heated air and air associated with chemical odors outdoors.

When the spa is in use considerable amounts of moisture will escape potentially causing mold and mildew.

This can cause health risk. Over time, this can damage certain surfaces, surroundings, and equipment.

4.1 Outdoor Location

In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your hot tub, we suggest that you take into consideration the following:

• The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in regions subject to cold weather).

• The pathway to and from your hot tub (this should be free of debris so that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the hot tub).

• The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and birds could create extra work in keeping the hot tub clean).

• A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result in lowered operation and maintenance costs).

• The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to place the hot tub under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water will shorten the life expectancy of the hot tub cover.

• For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into main structural support, consult a professional

Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.

• In the unlikely event that you should ever need to access or gain entry to any portion of the spa for servicing, it is highly recommended that you plan your outdoor installation to provide full access to the entire spa. Please take this into consideration when placing the spa in a deck or enclosed by a surrounding.

• Consider locating your spa away from any reflective surface or glass to prevent any damage to the synthetic skirt.

• Do not shim the spa. To ensure proper support the spa must sit flat on the intended foundation.

9

880 Series

4.2 Indoor Location

For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before installing a spa indoors:

!

WARNING:

In addition to maintenance of filters and water chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments that could be present in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect or building contractor to determine your specific needs if installing your hot tub indoors.

•

PROPER FOUNDATION: Consult a Structural Engineer when considering a foundation that will adequately support the spa the entire time it is in place.

Proper support is critical especially if the spa is to rest on a second story or higher. For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into the main structural support, you should consult a professional

Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.

•

PROPER DRAINAGE: It is extremely important to have in place measures to sufficiently handle excessive water spillage.

Be sure the flooring in which the spa rests on has adequate drainage and can handle draining of the entire contents of the spa. Be sure to make provisions for ceilings or any other structures that may be below the spas installation. Areas around your spa can become wet or moist so all flooring and subsequent furniture, walls and adjacent structures should be able to withstand or resist water and moisture.

•

PROPER VENTILATION: Proper ventilation should be discussed with an Engineer or authority competent enough to understand the necessary provisions needed to vent moist or heated air and air associated with chemical odors outdoors.

When the spa is in use considerable amounts of moisture will escape potentially causing mold and mildew, over time this can damage certain surfaces and or surroundings.

• SUFFICIENT ACCESS:

In the unlikely event that you should ever need to access or gain entry to any portion of the spa for servicing, it is highly recommended that you plan your indoor installation to provide full access to the entire spa.

• WARRANTY:

Damage caused by not following these guidelines or any improper installation not in accordance with local codes or authorities is not covered under the spas warranty. Please consult your local state or city building ordinances.

• DO NOT SHIM THE SPA.

To ensure proper support the spa must sit flat on the intended foundation.

8.0 Hot Tub Fill Up Procedure

For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding with that

step. Make sure all drains are closed prior to filling spa, page 13.

1.

Prepare The Hot Tub For Filling

• Clear all debris from the hot tub. (Although the hot tub shell has been polished at the factory, you may want to treat it with a specially formulated hot tub cleaner.) Consult your dealer for additional information prior to filling hot tub.

• Remove filter lid (Sections 9.1-9.22, pages 21-42), then remove

filter cartridge from filter bucket as illustrated in Section 13.1.

2.

Fill Hot Tub

• Place the end of your garden hose into the empty filter fitting.

CAUTION: TO DECREASE BUILD UP ON COMPONENTS AND

MINIMIZE ACRYLIC DAMAGE.

Never fill with water from a water softener. If your water is extremely

“hard,” it is preferable to fill half-way with hard water and the rest of the way with softened water. Water that is too soft can be corrosive to metal components.

•

!

WARNING:

TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR

DISEASE.

Fill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose, to reduce risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments. Fill until water covers all jets but does not touch the bottom of the lowest headrest. (DO NOT OVERFILL!)

IMPORTANT:

Always fill your hot tub through the filter fitting after draining. Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in either pump(s), preventing the pump(s) from circulating water. Remove the hose and replace the filter cartridge as illustrated in Section 13.1.

3.

Turn On Power

Turn on power to hot tub at the home’s circuit breaker to start boot up sequence. The heater and filter/circulation pump will automatically activate.

4.

Activate Jets Pumps

Turn on all jet(s) pumps and blower to ensure proper mixing when adding start up chemical in step 5.

5.

Add Start-Up Chemicals

Add the hot tub water chemicals as recommended by your Sundance

Spas dealer. See Section titled “Water Quality Maintenance” (page

76) for general guidance.

16

!

880 Series

WARNING:

RISK OF POISONING OR DEATH.

Never leave chemicals opened and accessible to anyone.

Use chemicals according to the vendors instructions. Always store chemicals in a safe and/or locked location. Keep away from and out of reach of children.

6.

Establish A Stable Sanitizer Reading

Establish a stable sanitizer reading no less than 1.0 ppm free chlorine or 2.0 ppm bromine. To ensure healthy water conditions, always maintain a constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended on the inside cover of this manual. If sanitizer levels cannot be stabilized, perform the decontamination procedure steps

9-15 on the following page.

Note:

The “decontamination procedure” steps 9-15 should also be used after the hot tub has been “Winterized” (Section 13.8) or has been sitting without power for an extended period.

7.

Set Hot Tub To Heat

To warm hot tub water to a comfortable temperature, follow these steps:

• The LCD display on the control panel displays the actual temperature of the hot tub water. Press either the

COOLER

( ) or

WARMER

( ) button once to display the “set” temperature for 5 seconds. If you want the water to heat to a different temperature, simply press

COOLER

or

WARMER

within 5 seconds. The set temperature increases or decreases by 1°F (0.5°C) each time either button is pressed.

• The heater will turn off when the temperature corresponding to the thermostat setting is achieved.

Important Heater Details:

• The maximum temperature for which the hot tub can be set is

104°F (40°C) and the minimum is 65°F (18.33°C).

• For hot tubs powered with a 40 amp service, turn off jets pump #1 and jets pump #2 to operate heater.

• Setting the thermostat at maximum will not accelerate the heating process. This will only result in a higher ultimate temperature.

• The heater operates until the water reaches the programmed “set temperature,” then turns off. The heater will reactivate after the water cools to approximately 2°F (1°C) below the “set temperature.”

8.

Place Cover On Hot Tub

• Keeping the insulating cover in place anytime the hot tub is not in use will reduce the time required for heating, thereby minimizing operating costs.

• The time required for initial heat-up will vary depending on the starting water temperature.

17

880 Series

!

DANGER:

RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.

Check water temperature carefully before entering hot tub!

Excessive water temperature can cause burns, welts and body temperature to rise, hyperthermia (over-heating).

Decontamination Procedure (Steps 9-15)

Steps 9-15 below are only required when sanitizer levels are unstable after performing steps 1-6 above. Disregard steps 9-15 below if sanitizer levels remain stable after performing steps 1-6 above (refer to the inside cover of the manual).

9. Add 2.5 ounces (71 g.) of sodium dichlor for every 100 gallons

(378 L.) of water. Refer to the table (below) for approximate water fill capacity by model.

!

CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR SPA DAMAGE!

Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for any reason! These chemicals may damage components within your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash, and void the manufacturer warranty for your spa.

10. Leave hot tub cover open during this step to allow excessive chemical vapors to exit hot tub, protecting pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack. If hot tub is indoors, open doors and windows for proper ventilation. Turn on all hot tub jets pumps for one hour, open all air controls, turn on the blower, and place all massage selector knob(s) in their center “combo” position as shown (right).

Note:

You will need to press the jets pump button(s) and blower button every 20 minutes since these functions have an automatic 20 minute time-out function that turns them off.

18

880 Series

WARNING:

RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY!

• To decrease the risk of injury, drowning or entrapment, never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while the cover is open and accessible, especially to small children and animals!

• Precautions should be taken to minimize your exposure to chemical vapors (that could cause lung, brain, or skin damage).

11. Turn off power to the hot tub at the circuit breaker, then drain tub as

outlined in Section 13.3 (page 72).

12. Refill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose until water covers all jets but does not touch the bottom of the lowest headrest.

(DO NOT OVERFILL!)

CAUTION: TO DECREASE BUILD UP ON COMPONENTS AND

MINIMIZE ACRYLIC DAMAGE.

Never fill with water from a water softener. If your water is extremely

“hard,” it is preferable to fill half-way with hard water and the rest of the way with softened water. Water that is too soft can be corrosive to metal components.

13. Consult your authorized Sundance Spas dealer for chemical recommendations, then add chemicals to hot tub water to achieve a constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended on the inside cover of this manual.

14. Turn on all jet pumps and the blower when adding chemicals to ensure proper mixing and leave your hot tub cover open until the sanitizer level becomes stable to protect pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack. Refer to the inside cover of the manual.

!

WARNING:

RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.

• To decrease the risk of injury, entrapment or drowning, never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason, especially if while the cover is open and accessible to small children and animals!

• To decrease the risk of contracting a waterborne illness

(e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments, maintain water chemistry within 6 step parameters. If you or other bathers experience such a condition, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.

19

880 Series

15. Establish a sanitizer reading no less than 1.0 ppm free chlorine or

2.0 ppm bromine, then allow the hot tub to set undisturbed for 8 hours. Retest water after 8 hours to determine if sanitizer levels are stable. If sanitizer levels are stable, your hot tub is ready for use.

To ensure healthy water conditions, always maintain a constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended on the inside cover of this manual. If sanitizer levels are not stable at this time, it will be necessary to repeat this procedure in its entirety (steps 1-15) until stable sanitizer readings are achieved.

IMPORTANT:

If the CLEAR

RAY

® water purification system is removed from the hot tub or is not operating efficiently follow the “without

CLEAR

RAY

®” water chemistry parameters. Such parameters are defined by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals.

16. After adequate sanitizer levels are achieved, close all spa air controls by rotating them counterclockwise to maximize heat retention when spa is not in use.

Your Sundance

®

Spas hot tub is equipped to allow

C

you to customize the massage action you desire. Each

B

A

model incorporates a massage selector(s) that allows you to customize the massage and performance by diverting water between various jet systems. Simply turn massage selector to position A (Combo), B, or C to divert water pressure to various jet groups.

Note:

This valve is designed to operate in positions A (Combo), B, and

C for optimum performance. It is considered normal for sound levels within the valve to vary between positions due to the large amounts of water flowing through it. For optimum filtration benefits, leave the valve in position A when hot tub is covered. Select position B or C for maximum jet performance during hot tub use.

53

880 Series

11.8 Adjusting Fluidix Reflex, Nex, ST, Intelli-Jets And Focus-

Relief

The jets in your new hot tub offer the advantage of no moving parts and zero maintenance. They can also be adjust-

A B

ed for a high and low impact massage, providing the ultimate massage! To adjust jets:

1. Fluidix Nex/Intelli-Jets and Reflex Jets only: Turn outer dial (A) clockwise to increase water volume. Turn outer dial counterclockwise to decrease water volume or to shut jet off.

2. Fluidix Intelli-Jet only: Rotate center “mode disk” (B) clockwise to select a non-oscillating water stream or turn

Fluidix Intelli-Jet

A

Fluidix Reflex Jet counterclockwise to select an oscillating stream at any angle.

3. For a high impact massage, turn corresponding air control knob clockwise. For the Fluidix ST jet, this will create a straight water flow. For low impact massage, turn corresponding air control knob counterclockwise. For the

Fluidix ST jet, this will create an oscillating flow. Refer

to Sections 9.1-9.22 (pages 21-42) for specific

Fluidix ST Jet operation details. The included tool (shown) allows you to position the jet nozzle angle to your liking. This tool can also be used to aid in the opening or closing of the nozzle on Fluidix Reflex jets.

Focus-Relief Jet

4. Focus-Relief Jets: Work with both the blower and jets pump. The blower introduces air to the jet and the jets pump forces water through.

Note:

Always keep at least 6 adjustable jets open at all times on each jet system.

11.9 Air Controls

Each jet system has its own air control. These controls allow you to regulate the amount of air which is mixed with the water entering through the jets. Clockwise rotation adds more air and counterclockwise rotation reduces air flow.

Note:

To minimize heat loss, close all air controls when spa is not in use. Certain jets may draw air even though they are closed. This is considered normal.

11.10 Waterfall Control

Turn waterfall control valve counterclockwise to increase waterfall(s) output. Turn control valve clockwise to decrease or turn off waterfall(s) output. The waterfall is on when the circulation pump is running.

Note:

It takes 2 full revolutions to change the waterfall from a full off to a full on flow rate. When the waterfall is in the OFF position some water may still flow through. This is considered normal.

54

880 Series

11.11 Fragrance Dispenser

On the rim of your hot tub is a screw-off cap labeled “SunScents™

Fragrance Dispenser” (pages 21-42). It is designed to contain pack-

ages of a specially made fragrance available from your Sundance Spas dealer. The fragrance is carried into the hot tub water by the air coming through the injector system when the air blower is on.

!

WARNING:

TO DECREASE RISK OF PERSONAL IN-

JURY.

• Always turn off the air blower before removing or installing

SunScents dispenser cap to reduce the risk of by having the dispenser and/or cap fly up.

• Use only Sundance SunScents fragrances in your new hot tub, as the tub has not been tested for use with any other manufacturer. Never use this dispenser for any other type of fragrance.

• Never remove the SunScents beads from their plastic cage for any reason! This can cause damage to the spa equipment and plumbing lines.

• The beads can also be ingested creating a chocking or poisoning hazard. Keep away from children.

• Install bead cage directly into SunScents dispenser.

• Always make certain that the dispenser cap is securely in place before operating the hot tub’s air blower, to avoid the cap from flying off when the blower is activated.

11.12 Indicator Light

The indicator light located on the front cabinet panel of the hot tub is an early detection system that will notify you when the hot tub needs immediate attention. A solid white light indicates that all operations are normal. A solid red light indicates that immediate attention is required to clear or fix an error code. For a

detailed explanation refer to Section 15.0, page 82.

11.13 Optional Exterior Light

The optional exterior lights are located on the corners of the cabinet panels. They provide a colorful luminance around the hot tub. These lights are activated any time the interior lights are being used and will follow the color pattern.

11.14 MicroClean® Plus Versatile Filter Lid (Marin and Cambria models only)

The multi-purpose filter lid can be used as cooler or as a seat (with the optional aftermarket seat cushion).

The filter lid has a drain located at the bottom to allow for drainage into the hot tub.

!

IMPORTANT!

If liquids (other than water) spill, take all precautions to prevent contaminants from entering and affecting the hot tub water.

12.1 Programming the Heating Mode

Your Sundance spa is equipped with 3 modes of heating, Figure

12.1a. An automatic mode called “Auto” where the spa’s temperature is maintained at all times. An energy saving heating cycle called

“Economy.” A mode that will only activate the heater during the daytime called “Day” mode.

Note:

The heater will activate when the temperature drops 2°F from the set temperature.

and ozone unit (if applicable) are activated. The factory default cycle starts at 12:00

AM and last for 8 hours. If you elect to keep this setting, then you can skip this section.

In extreme bitter cold weather, where freezing can occur, we recommend you program the circulation pump to run 24

hours. Refer to the “Winterizing” section on page 75.

Any time the circulation pump runs outside of a program cycle, e.g. for heating, that run time will be deducted from the next primary filter cycle.

For example, the primary filter cycle is set to 8 hours every 24 hours but the circulation pump comes on for 2 hours to heat the water after the cycle has finished. The next primary filter cycle will only be for 6 hours not 8 hours.

Summer Logic:

In warm weather, the water temperature in the spa may exceed the set temperature. This condition may occur due to heat transference from the filter/circulation pump and jets pumps. If the water temperature is higher than 95°F (35°C) and rises 2°F above the set temperature, a “Summer Logic” condition occurs that deactivates the filter/circulation pump and CLEAR

RAY

®. This safety feature cannot be altered! The filter/circulation pump and CLEAR

RAY

® will remain off until the water temperature cools to the set temperature

(except between 9am-11am when the filter/circulation pump runs for it’s mandatory 2 hour cycle.) To help prevent a “Summer Logic” condition, it may be necessary to reduce filter/circulation pump cycles run times in warm weather.

13.0 Hot Tub Maintenance

Proper and regular maintenance of your hot tub will help it retain its beauty and performance. Your authorized Sundance Spas dealer can supply you with all the information, supplies, and accessory products you will need to accomplish this.

!

DANGER:

RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING

BY ENTRAPMENT!

• Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from suction fittings, rotating jets or other moving components to avoid entrapment that could lead to drowning or severe injury.

• Never use the spa unless all suction guards, filter, filter lid, or skimmer assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair entrapment.

• Never operate or use the spa if the filter, filter lid, or skimmer assembly are broken or any part of the skimmer assembly is missing. Please contact your dealer or nearest service center for service.

• The suction fittings and suction covers in this spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump(s). If it is necessary to replace the suction fittings, suction covers or pump(s), be sure that the flow rates are compatible and are in

compliance with the VGB Safety Act, page 2.

• Never replace a suction fitting or suction cover with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.

Using improper suction fittings or suction covers can create a body or hair suction entrapment hazard that may lead to drowning or severe injury.

• Owners must alert all spa users to the potential risk of Hair,

Limb, Body, Evisceration (disembowelment), and Mechanical

Entrapment, page 6.

13.1 Cleaning/Replacing the Filter Cartridge

Your Sundance hot tub is equipped with a two-stage MicroClean Ultra filter cartridge assembly under the filter lid (Sections 9.1-9.22 pages

21-42). Debris is filtered by the filter/circulation pump drawing

water through the filter assembly 8 hours a day, 7 days a week (unless programmed otherwise). To ensure optimum performance, clean the outer pleated filter and center insert monthly. Then replace the center insert every 6 months, or as needed thereafter.

69

880 Series

All models include a suction cover filter (#6540-213) located directly under the MicroClean Ultra filter cartridge assembly that prevents debris from entering the hot tub plumbing when jets pump 1 is running. This filter should be cleaned every 2 months.

Monthly Filter Cleaning Procedure

We recommend cleaning the outer pleated filter (1) with a high pressure water nozzle and the filter insert (2) with a low-pressure water nozzle monthly. Periodically, the outer pleated filter cartridge

(1) will require a more thorough cleaning to remove embedded oils and minerals by using special spa filter cleaners offered by your spa dealer. Always remove the center filter insert (2) before cleaning the outer filter (1) with chemicals. Never use filter cleaners of any kind on the filter insert (2) or it may be damaged, come apart or allow impurities to re-enter the water, increasing the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments.

70

880 Series

Procedure:

1. Grasp center filter insert end cap (2) in hand and pull outward from pleated cartridge (1). If filter insert (2) is 6 months old, throw it away and purchase new one. DO NOT install new insert at this time.

2. Rinse debris from all outer filter

(1) pleats using a garden hose and high-pressure nozzle. Repeat process until all filter pleats are clean. Then rinse debris from inside of filter (1). If chemical cleaners are used, follow manufacturers instructions.

3. Install filter insert (2) into outer pleated filter (1) by gently sliding inward until a slight resistance is felt approximately 1/4" from bottom.

Lightly tap insert end with palm of hand to “snap” in place. Insert is properly installed when end cap rests “flush” against outer filter end cap.

4. Install Filter assembly back into spa by performing step 2 in reverse order. Tighten filter nut so it just touches the filter face. DO NOT

13.3 Draining And Refilling

Every 3 months, you will need to replace the hot tub’s water. The frequency depends on a number of variables including the amount of use, attention paid to water quality maintenance, etc. You will know it is time for a change when you cannot control sudsing and/or you can no longer get the normal feel or sparkle to the water even though the key water balance measurements are all within the proper parameters.

!

CAUTION! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING:

To decrease damage to the hot tub’s components, turn off power to the hot tub at the circuit breaker before draining it. Do not turn the power back on until your hot tub has been refilled. There are certain precautions to keep in mind when draining your hot tub. If it is extremely cold, and the hot tub is outdoors, freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment (see “Winter-

izing,” page 75). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do

not leave the hot tub’s surface exposed to direct sunlight for long periods.

Draining Procedures:

1. Turn off power to hot tub at breaker.

2. Locate the 3" gray drain valve cap on side of the hot tub cabinet. Unscrew drain valve cap to expose the underlying male garden hose fitting (Figures A-B).

3. Attach female garden hose end to drain fitting and route opposite end of garden hose away from hot tub

(Figure B).

4. Pull outward on garden hose end at drain connection

(approx. 3/8") to open drain valve and release water from hot tub (Figure C). Water drains at approximately 3 gallons per minute.

5. After hot tub has drained, close drain valve by pushing inward on garden hose end at drain connection until you feel it bottom out. Remove garden hose and install gray drain cap before refilling hot tub.

Note:

The gray drain cap cannot be installed until the

drain valve is closed. Refer to “Hot Tub Fill Up Procedure” (page 16)

for recommended filling instructions.

13.4 Cleaning The Hot Tub Interior

To preserve the sheen of your hot tub’s surface, it is crucial that you avoid using abrasive cleaners or cleaners which have adverse chemical effect on the surface. If you are not certain as to the suitability of a particular cleanser, consult your authorized Sundance Spas dealer.

Regardless of the cleanser used, use extreme care to assure that no soap residue is left on the surface. This could cause severe sudsing when the hot tub is refilled.

13.5 Pillow Care

Remove and clean the headrest pillows as needed with soapy water using a cloth or soft-bristle brush. Always remove the pillows when adding chemical shock treatment to the spa water. The pillows can be returned to the spa when the sanitizer reading is stable as recommended on the inside cover of the manual.

Note:

Actual pillow could vary from image shown.

13.6 Maintaining the Hot Tub Cabinet

The hot tub cabinet require little or no maintenance of any kind. To clean, wipe cabinet with a clean towel and mild detergent soap solution.

CAUTION:

Never spray cabinet with a high pressure garden hose for any reason since this action may induce an electrical short in the hot tub’s electrical equipment.

13.7 Cover Care And Maintenance

Certain hot tub covers distributed by Sundance Spas, Inc., have a vinyl or SUNSTRONG™/SUNSTRONG™ Extreme encasement. This vinyl or SUNSTRONG/SUNSTRONG Extreme encasement also referred to as the cover “skin” is attractive and durable. Regular monthly cleaning and conditioning (vinyl) is strongly recommended and may increase the longevity of your cover.

A.

To clean and condition the encasement (cover skin):

1. Use a garden hose to remove any debris.

2. Using a large sponge or soft bristle brush, use diluted or mild soap to gently scrub the top.

3. Rinse and clean and do not allow soap to dry on the cover. Do not use soap on the underside of the cover.

4. Please check with your Sundance® spa dealer for recommended cover care and conditioning products. Use non-petroleum based conditioners to keep the vinyl supple.

5. Do not use any solvents, abrasive cleaners or strong detergents. Do not use products that contain silicone or alcohol.

B.

Additional Care and Maintenance Instructions:

1. Debris can accumulate on the spa cover. Removal of snow or other debris will help to avoid breakage of the foam cores.

2. Be sure to lock the cover straps to secure the cover from unwanted or accidental entry.

3. Do not place heavy objects on the vinyl.

74

880 Series

4. Do not walk, sit or stand on the cover.

5. Do not drag or use the flaps/skirt or the cover lock straps to remove the cover.

6. Use only recommended cover lift systems.

7. Use only chemicals and cleaners recommended by Sundance Spas.

8. Remember to keep spa covered when not in use. Maintaining proper water levels assures efficient operation and efficient electrical usage.

9. Do not expose your spa to the sun for extended periods of time as UV rays can damage the interior surface.

10. Use caution when removing cover. Before removing cover, assure all locks have been released to avoid lock breakage and/or cover strap damage.

13.8 Winterizing

Your Sundance hot tub is designed to automatically protect itself against freezing when operating properly. During periods of severe freezing temperatures, you should check periodically to be certain that the electrical supply to the hot tub has not been interrupted. In extreme bitter cold weather, less than 32°F (0°C), program the circulation pump to run for 24 hours to prevent freezing.

If you do not intend to use your hot tub, or if there is a prolonged power outage during periods of severe freezing temperatures,

it is important that all water be removed from the hot tub and equipment to protect against damage from freezing.

Expert winterization of your spa is highly recommended,

contact your authorized Sundance Spas dealer. In emergency situations, damage can be minimized by taking the following steps:

CAUTION: TURN OFF POWER TO HOT TUB!

1. Follow the directions (Section 13.3) for draining the hot tub.

2. Turn the massage/diverter selector(s) to the middle combo position to

allow the water in the plumbing lines to drain, page 53.

3. Turn the waterfall valve(s) to the open position to allow the water in the

plumbing lines to drain, page 54.

4. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means necessary to get the water out of the recessed seating areas and into the footwell, such as a wet/dry vacuum.

5. Open all the air controls and leave them open until you resume use of

the spa, page 54.

6. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available to remove any remaining water from the footwell, such as a wet/dry vacuum.

7. Remove the equipment-side cabinet panels and locate the drain plugs

in the front of each pump (Figures A and B, pages 13-14). Remove

these plugs to allow the water to drain out of the pumps and heater.

Note:

Approximately 1 to 2 gallons will be released during this procedure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from flooding the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.

75

880 Series

8. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of heater (Figures A and B, pages

13-14) and pull hose off of heater fitting (twist the hose back

and forth while pulling downward). Tip hose down and allow to drain, then reinstall hose and clamp.

9. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of CLEAR

RAY

® system and pull hose off of CLEAR

RAY

fitting (twist the hose back and forth while pulling downward). Tip hose down and allow to drain, then reinstall hose and clamp. Remove the cover of the CLEAR

RAY

system to access the UV bulb and quartz tube. Remove and store the UV bulb in a safe location. Remove and dry off the quartz tube then reinstall it.

Depending on the length of time, consider replacing the UV bulb when you resume use of your hot tub.

10. Re-install cabinet side panels and cover hot tub so that no moisture can enter into it. Consult your Sundance Spas dealer if you have any questions regarding winter use or winterizing.

13.9 Restarting Your Hot Tub in Cold Weather

If you want to start up your hot tub after it has sat empty for a time in freezing temperatures, be aware that the water remaining in certain sections of the piping may still be frozen. This situation will block water flow preventing the hot tub from operating properly and possibly damaging the equipment. We recommend you consult your dealer for guidance before attempting to restart your hot tub under these conditions.

14.0 Water Quality Maintenance

To decrease the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments, maintain water quality within specified limits. This will enhance your enjoyment and prolong the life of the hot tub’s equipment. Doing so requires regular attention because the water chemistry involved is a balance of several factors.

Procrastination in regard to water maintenance will result in poor and potentially unhealthful conditions for soaking and even damage to your hot tub investment. For specific guidance on maintaining water quality, consult your Authorized Sundance Spas dealer who can recommend appropriate chemical products for sanitizing and maintaining your hot tub.

!

WARNING:

FAILURE TO MAINTAIN WATER QUALITY

WILL:

• Increase risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments.

• Damage the equipment, components and spa shell, which are not covered under the hot tub’s warranty.

76

880 Series

CAUTION:

Never store hot tub chemicals inside the hot tub’s equipment bay. The equipment bay may reach elevated temperatures, this is where high voltage electronic devices are located. This area is not intended for storage of any kind.

14.1 pH Control

pH is a measure of relative acidity or alkalinity of water and is measured on a scale of 0 to 14. The midpoint of 7 is said to be neutral, above which is alkaline and below which is acidic. In hot tub water, it is very important to maintain a slightly alkaline condition of 7.4 to 7.6 pH. Problems become proportionately severe the further outside of this range the water gets. A low pH will be corrosive to metals in the hot tub equipment. A high pH will cause minerals to deposit on the interior surface (scaling).

In addition, the ability of the sanitation agents to keep the hot tub clean is severely affected as the pH moves beyond the ideal range. That is why almost all hot tub water test kits contain a measure for pH as well as sanitizer.

14.2 Sanitizing

To destroy bacteria and organic compounds in the hot tub water, a sanitizer must be used regularly. Your Sundance hot tub is equipped with the Brominator™, a special compartment built into the floating skimmer gate to hold the SunPurity™ mineral cartridge designed specifically for your hot tub or bromine tablets. By regulating the number of bromine tablets in the Brominator you can control the amount of bromine, which is actively working, in your hot tub water. A bromine residual of no less than

2.0 ppm is generally considered desirable. A two-part bromine system or granular chlorine (dichlor) are also acceptable sanitizers. When adding spa shock (chlorine or non-chlorine) or pH balancing chemicals, activate the jets pump(s) and leave the spa cover open for a minimum of 20 minutes. By doing this you will allow excess chemical vapors to exit the spa, protecting pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack.

!

WARNING:

RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DROWNING

OR ENTRAPMENT!

Never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while the cover is open and accessible, especially to small children and animals!

CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR SPA DAMAGE!

Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for any reason! These chemical may damage components within your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash, and void the manufacturer warranty for your spa.

14.5 Other Additives

Many other additives are available for your hot tub. Some are necessary to compensate for out-of-balance water, some aid in cosmetic water treatment and others simply alter the feel or smell of the water. Your Authorized

Sundance Spas dealer can advise you on the use of these additives.

14.6 Handrail Maintenance

The handrails in your Sundance hot tub are manufactured from a high quality 316 stainless steel alloy. Many people are familiar with the term

“stainless steel” and are surprised to learn that it does indeed rust and corrode in the presence of chloride salts, free chlorine, or sulfide gasses.

The bad news is the environments that produce these elements are ocean spray, salted highways, chemical treatments added to swimming pools and hot tubs, and ground water in numerous coastal areas. The good news is with proper care, your hot tub’s handrails can maintain their original finish.

If your stainless handrails shows signs of rusting you should:

• Wash with fresh water (a good detergent won’t hurt).

• Clean with a good car chrome polish.

• Wax with an automotive or fiberglass wax.

You should never:

• Clean with chlorinated cleaners or scouring powders.

• Use sand paper, “Scotch Brite,” Brillo pads, or similar abrasive products.

• Clean with muriatic or hydrochloric acids. Vinegar is ok, but it won’t do much to remove rust.
