Attention New Hot Tub Owner!

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Sundance hot tub! The following is a list of automated functions performed by your hot tub. These functions are listed below in an attempt to suppress any operational concerns you may have during the first 24-hours of ownership! Also listed below are important maintenance recommendations you should observe on a regular basis to protect your new investment.

Automated Spa Operations

Your new hot tub is equipped with an automated “blow-out” cycle that clears all plumbing lines daily to promote maximum water sanitation. Each day at 12:00

PM (noon), pump 2, pump 3 (Maxxus™/Aspen™ Models) and the blower will automatically turn on for a period of one minute, then go off. Then pump 1 will turn on and run for one minute to complete the blow-out cycle. Be aware, the factory programmed blow-out cycle cannot be canceled or altered!

Maintain Healthy Spa Water

Always maintain your hot tub’s water chemistry within the following parameters:

pH

Free chlorine

Free Bromine

Total Alkalinity

Calcium Hardness

With CLEARRAY™

7.4-7.6

no less than 1.0 ppm no less than 2.0 ppm

100-120 ppm

150-250 ppm

Without CLEARRAY™

7.4-7.6

3.0-4.0 ppm

2.0-4.0 ppm

100-120 ppm

150-250 ppm

IMPORTANT:

CLEARRAY™ Water Purification System is factory installed. If the CLEARRAY™ system is altered or is not operating efficiently follow the

“without CLEARRAY™” water chemistry parameters. Such parameters are defined by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals. CLEARRAY™ requires an annual lamp replacement to properly sanitize your water.

!

TO dECREASE RISk OF INFECTION OR dISEASE!

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

pages 61

-

6 2 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 61

6 2 for detailed filter cartridge

replacement instructions.

Required Water Replacement

!


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 69

Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F

(37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy

(fatigue), and an increase in the internal temperature of the body (feeling of being too hot). The effects of hyperthermia include:

• Unawareness of impending hazard;

• Failure to perceive heat;

• Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;

• Physical inability to exit spa;

• Fetal damage in pregnant women; and

• Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.

880 SERIES

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.

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.

Page 9

880 SERIES

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.

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, bac teria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments that could be pres ent 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

Page 10

880 SERIES

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:

8.0 Hot Tub Fill Up Procedure

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

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 9.4-9.25, pages 2 5 -4 6 ), 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 bucket.

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:

dISEASE.

TO dECREASE RISk OF INFECTION OR

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!)

Page 17

880 SERIES

IMPORTANT:

Always fill your hot tub through the filter bucket after draining. Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in either pump, preventing the pump 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. If the control panel LCD flashes water temperature and

“COOL” or “ICE”, this is normal.

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

69) for general guidance.

!

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 13.9) 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

(Down) or

WARMER

(Up) 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

Page 18

•

880 SERIES

temperature increases or decreases by one degree 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 80°F (27°C).

• For Cameo and Optima 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 1° 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.

!

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 (overheating).

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 of sodium dichlor for every 100 gallons 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.

•

•

To decrease the risk of injury, entrapment or drowning, never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason, es pecially 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 param eters. If you or other bathers experience such a condition, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.

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

CLEARRAY™” 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 clockwise to maximize heat retention when spa is not in use.

10.9 Selecting The desired Massage Action

Your Sundance

®

hot tub is equipped to allow you to customize the massage action you desire. Each model incorporates a massage selector(s) that allows you to

B

C

A

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.

10.10 Adjusting Fluidix Reflex, Nex, ST, Intelli-Jets And

Focus-Relief

These jets in your new hot tub offer the advantage of no moving parts and zero maintenance. They can also be ad justed 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

A

Fluidix Intelli-Jet counterclockwise to decrease water volume or to shut jet off.

2.

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

A

Fluidix Reflex Jet corresponding air control knob counterclockwise. For the Fluidix ST jet, this will create an oscillating flow. Refer to Sections 9.4-9.25 (pages 2 5 -4 6 ) for specific 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 ST jets.

3. Focus-Relief Jets: Work with both the blower and jets pump.

Fluidix ST Jet

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.

Page 52

Focus-Relief Jet

880 SERIES

10.11 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 not draw air while either jets pump is running in low speed; this is considered normal.

10.12 Waterfall Control

Turn waterfall control valve counterclockwise to increase waterfall(s) output. Turn control valve clockwise to decrease or turn off waterfall(s) output.

Note:

It takes 2 full revolutions to change the waterfall from a full off to a full on flow rate.

Page 53

880 SERIES

10.14 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

7 4

.

10.15 Optional Audio System

Sundance models with the optional audio system offer enhanced hot tub enjoyment by offering an integrated state-of-the-art audio system. These models include an integrated AM/FM/CD/iPod® Player receiver, high fidelity spa engineered speakers for unsurpassed sound quality and long-life, and an integrated subwoofer for an enhanced acoustical experience.

11.0 Heating Modes

The control system in your hot tub activates a programmable “Standard” or “Economy” mode which effects when the heater operates. Refer to

Sections 11.1 and 11.2 below for additional information.

11.1 Standard Mode (Factory default)

Standard mode is typically selected by customers in cold climates where heat up times are extended due to lower ambient temperatures. In this mode, water temperature is regulated by the set temperature which activates the heater automatically as needed.

11.2 Economy Mode

Economy mode is typically selected by customers in warm climates where heat up times are minimized due to higher ambient temperatures.

In this mode, the water temperature is regulated by the set temperature only when a programmed filter cycle is running.

11.3 Selecting Standard or Economy Mode

Press the

(MOdE)

button to select either “Standard” or “Economy” mode. The control panel’s indicator on the right side of the LCD changes to indicate which mode is selected.

Note:

“Standard” is shown when Standard Mode is selected. No display is shown when Economy Mode is selected.

Page 54

880 SERIES

11.4 Clean-Up “Blow-Out” Cycle

The clean-up cycle is once per day in both Standard and Economy modes at 12:00 (noon) for two minutes. This is not user programmable.

• Maxxus and Aspen Models: Jets pump 3 and blower activate for

•

• approximately 45 seconds to circulate any water in the plumbing.

Pump 3 shuts off, then pump 2 and the blower activate for approximately 45 seconds, then shut off. Finally, pump 1 activates and runs for approximately 30 seconds, then shuts off.

Altamar/Cameo/Majesta/Marin/Optima Models: Jets pump 2 and blower activate for one minute to circulate any water in the plumbing.

After 1 minute, pump 2 and blower shut off and jets pump 1 activates for 1 minute, then shuts off.

Capri Models: The blower activates for one minute to circulate any water in the plumbing. After 1 minute, the blower shuts off and jets pump 1 activates for 1 minute, then shuts off.

12.0 Programming Instructions

12.1 Programming Filter/Circulation Pump

The control system allows you to easily adjust two separate aspects of filter/circulation pump operation:

The time of day (start time) the filter/circulation pump turns on.

The length of time (duration) the filter/circulation pump operates.

The fac tory default start time is 12:00AM (midnight). The recommended factory duration is 8 hours. To make adjustments:

•

•

Standard Mode - in this mode, press the

(CYCLE)

once;

Economy Mode - in this mode, press the

(CYCLE)

button button five times to enter the filter/circulation pump programming mode.

The LCD screen will display

“Circ”

. At this time the system is ready to accept your changes.

1. Press the

Note:

If no button is pressed within 30 seconds, all changes are recorded and the screen automatically returns to the standard water temperature display. When the standard mode is selected (Section 11.3), the filter/circulation pump automatically turns on for a heat call regardless of the pump’s programmed start time and duration.

•

•

12.2 Programmable Filter/Heating Cycles (Economy Mode Only)

Your hot tub comes with four 30-minute filter cycles which activate the filter/circulation pump while in economy mode. These cycles are factory programmed to start at 6:00 AM, 12:00 (noon), 6:00 PM, and 12:00

(midnight). The control system allows you to easily adjust two separate aspects of each cycle:

The time of day at which it begins;

The duration of the cycle.

Note:

When “Economy” mode is selected (Section 11.3), the heater activates only during a programmed filter cycle period. When a Sum mer

Logic condition is active (page 56

), the filter/circulation pump will turn on for all programmed filter cycles.

Summer Logic:

In warm weather, the water temperature in the hot tub 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 two degrees above the set temperature, a “Summer Logic” condition occurs that deactivates the filter/circulation pump and

CLEARRAY™. This safety feature cannot be altered!

The filter/ circulation pump and CLEARRAY™ 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.)

Note:

Pressing the select button at this time will reactivate the circulation pump and waterfall feature for 1 hour. To help prevent a “Summer Logic” condition, it may be necessary to reduce filter/ circulation pump cycle run times in warm weather.

Press the

(MOdE)

button to select “Economy” mode. To make adjustments, first press the upper right corner:

13.8 Vinyl Cover Care And Maintenance

Using the Sundance insulating spa cover anytime the spa is not in use will significantly reduce your operating costs, heat-up time and maintenance requirements. To prolong the life of the cover, handle it with care and clean it regularly. Below are the care instructions.

A.

To Clean and Condition the Vinyl Cover

1. Use a garden hose to loosen debris and dirt.

2. Using a large sponge or a soft bristle brush, use diluted or mild soap and scrub the vinyl top. Rinse clean and do not allow soap to dry on cover. Do not use soap on the underside of the cover.

3. Please check with your Sundance Spa Dealer for recommended cover care and conditioning products. Condition using non-petroleum based conditioners to keep the vinyl supple and threads/stitching from drying out. Do not use 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.

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.

13.9 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 electri cal supply to the hot tub has not been interrupted. In extreme, bitter cold weather (less than -20°F) verify standard mode is selected (Section 11.1) to protect the hot tub from 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.

Page 67

880 SERIES

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, see page 5 2 .

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

the plumbing lines to drain, see page 5 3

.

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. 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.

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

in the front of each pump (Figures A and B, pages 1

31 4). 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.

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

1 3-

1 4) 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.

8. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of CLEARRAY™ system and pull hose off of CLEARRAY 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 CLEARRAY system to access the UV lamp and quartz tube. Remove and store the UV lamp in a safe location. Remove and dry off the quartz tube then reinstall it.

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

9. 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.

13.10 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.

Page 68

880 SERIES

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.

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

Page 69

880 SERIES

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.

14.3 CLEARRAY™ Water Purification System

Your new hot tub has our water purification system factory installed that will begin disinfecting your water instantly. CLEARRAY Water Purification System is exclusive technology utilizing natural ultraviolet technology to sanitize your water, disinfecting bacteria, viruses, and algae in portable hot tubs. The ultraviolet light otherwise know as UV-C or germicidal light inactivates the microorganisms by disrupting

WARNING!

SEVERE EYE DAMAGE

OR BLINDNESS CAN OCCUR the DNA so that it cannot reproduce and is considered lifeless.

The ballast is the power supply for the purification system; it has two LED indicator lights the green indicating incoming power flow and the red indicating the system is properly working.

CLEARRAY is standard for all models.

Note: The CLEARRAY System only runs when the circulation pump is running and shuts off when either jets pump is manually activated during spa use. The system will remain off for 5 minutes after both jets pumps time out or are manually turned off, then resume operations if the circulation pump is programmed to run.

After a year the lamp must be replaced. A message will appear on the

LCD display when the time allotted has expired. In order to clear the “blb” message a new UV lamp needs to be installed and the timer must be

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.

Page 73

880 SERIES

•

•

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 muratic or hydrochloric acids. Vinegar is ok, but it won’t do much to remove rust.

15.0 Troubleshooting - display Messages

There are a number of unique functions designed into your

Sundance hot tub to protect it from damage and/or to aid in troubleshooting. The indicator light located on the front cabinet panel of the spa is an early detection system that will notify you when the spa 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. Following is a listing of all the possible messages along with their meanings. Always insist on genuine Sundance replacement parts.
