680 SERIES
During spa use or an automatic filter cycle, water flows through the spa skimmer and into both polyester mesh filter cartridges to trap suspended particles and oils on their surface pleats. To ensure optimum performance, it is necessary to remove and clean both filter cartridges once a month or sooner depending on spa use and water quality.
B.
Denali, Edison, Peyton and Tacoma Models:
Your Sundance spa is equipped with a skimmer basket and filter cartridge located in the skimmer/filter well. Filtering is accomplished when the pump turns on in low speed to initiate water flow through the skimmer basket and polyester mesh filter cartridge. As this happens, suspended particles become trapped on the filter’s surface. To ensure optimum performance, it is necessary to remove and clean the skimmer basket once a week and filter cartridge once a month or sooner, depending on usage and water quality.

Cleaning Procedure (for All Models):
1.
Turn off power to the spa at the home’s breaker panel or select the L1 “Lock” mode (page 30) to disable all spa functions.
2. Remove the filter strainer lid or skimmer assembly.
3. Remove the filter cartridge by rotating it counterclockwise to unthread it from the filter wall fitting, then lift it straight up to remove from filter well.
4. Using a garden hose with a high-pressure nozzle to rinse debris from the filter pleats beginning at the top and working your way downward.
Continue, one section at a time, until you have rinsed all of the filter’s pleats.
Periodically, the filter cartridge will need a more thorough cleaning to remove imbedded oils and minerals. For this, we suggest cleaning as above and then soaking the cartridge overnight in a plastic container filled with a solution of water and a specially formulated filter cleanser available from your authorized Sundance dealer. The average life expectancy of a Sundance filter cartridge is approximately two years with proper care and water quality maintenance. A replacement cartridge may be purchased from your dealer.
11.2 Draining and Refilling
About every 3 months, you will want to replace the spa’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.
