Attention New Spa Owner!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Sundance® spa! The following
is a list of automated functions and maintenance recommendations for
your new spa. Automated functions have been listed below in an attempt
to suppress any operational concerns you may have during startup and the
rst 24-hours of ownership! Maintenance recommendations are listed in an
attempt to stress their importance in protecting your new spa.
Automated Operations
Approximately two minutes after power is applied to the spa, the rst ltration/
heating cycle turns on pump 1 (Section 9.0, page 28). An automatic ve minute
“blow-out” function also activates pump 2 for a period of ve minutes to ush
all lines. Then, after ve minutes, pump 2 turns off and pump 1 continues to
operate for the duration of the cycle.
Note: This function only occurs during the rst ltration/heating cycle each day.
Maintain Healthy Spa Water
Always maintain your hot tub’s water chemistry within the following
parameters as dened by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals/USA:

pH 7.4-7.6

Free chlorine 3.0-4.0 ppm

Free bromine 2.0-4.0 ppm

Total Alkalinity 100-120 ppm

! TO dECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR dISEASE! Always
maintain your spa lter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water.
Refer to pages 35-36 for additional information.
Required Filter Maintenance
Your new hot tub is equipped with an advanced 2-stage MicroClean water
ltration system that provides unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum
water quality at all times, you should clean and reuse the larger pleated lter
cartridge every month and replace (throw away) the smaller MicroClean lter
cartridge every 3 months, or earlier as necessary. The smaller MicroClean
lter cartridge is designed to be thrown away! Attempts to reuse this lter
cartridge may result in the re-release of unwanted particles back into the spa.
See pages 35-36 for detailed lter cartridge replacement instructions.
Required Water Maintenance
! TO dECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR dISEASE! You should
replace the spa’s water every 3 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 42-43 for additional information.
