WARNING! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent damage
to the spa’s components, turn off power to the spa at the
circuit breaker before draining it. Do not turn the power back
on until your spa has been refilled.
CAUTION: There are certain precautions to keep in mind when
draining your spa. If it is extremely cold, and the spa is outdoors,
freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment (see “WINTER-
IZING”, Page 25). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not
leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.
To drain your spa, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power to hot tub at breaker.
2. Locate the 3” gray drain valve cap on the left or right
side of the hot tub. Unscrew drain valve cap to expose
the underlying male garden hose fitting. Attach hose
to fitting and route opposite end away from hot tub.
3. Pull outward on garden hose at drain connection
(approx. 3/8”) to open valve and release water. Water
drains at approximately 3 gallons per minute.
4. Close drain valve by pushing inward on garden hose at drain connection
until you feel it bottom out, then remove garden hose, install gray drain
cap, and refill spa. Refer to “Start-Up Instructions” (page 12).
11.3 Cleaning The Spa Interior
To preserve the sheen of your spa'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 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 spa is refilled.
11.4 Pillow Care
Remove and clean the headrest pillows as needed with soapy water using a
cloth or soft-bristle brush. To maintain water resistance and luster, apply a
quality vinyl conditioner once a month. 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 drops below 5 ppm.
