11.6 Maintaining The Synthetic Cabinet
Your new spa’s synthetic cabinet requires little or no maintenance of any kind. To clean, simply wipe cabinet with a clean towel and mild soap solution.
CAUTION:
Never spray cabinet with a garden hose for any reason since this action may induce an electrical short in the spa’s electrical equipment.
11.7 Winterizing
Your Sundance
®
spa 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 spa has not been interrupted. In extreme, bitter cold weather less than 32°F (0°C), choose the F3 “Standard” filtration/ heating mode to prevent freezing (page 31).
If you do not intend to use your spa, or if there is a prolonged power outage during periods of severe freezing temperatures,
it is important that all water be removed from the spa and equipment to protect against damage from freezing.
Expert winterization of your spa is highly recommended, contact your authorized Sundance dealer. In emergency situations, damage can be minimized by taking the following steps:
CAUTION: TURN OFF POWER TO HOT TUB!
1. Turn off power to the spa.
2. Follow the directions on page 35 for draining the spa.
3. Turn the massage/diverter selector(s) into the middle combo position to allow the water in the plumbing lines to drain, see page 29.
4. Turn the waterfall valve to the open position to allow the water in the plumbing lines to drain, see page 29.
5. Open all the air controls and leave them open until you resume use of the spa, page 29.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Remove the equipment-side cabinet panel and locate the drain plugs in the front of the pump(s) (Figure A, page 16). Remove these plugs to allow the water to drain out of the pumps and heater.
Note:
Approximately one to two 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 pump drain plugs.
