4. Turn the power to the hot tub back on briefly and press the AIR button
to activate the air blower. This will evacuate the water from the air injec-
tor lines. (Note: Stand back to avoid the misty spray.)
5. Turn off power to the hot tub.
6. Remove the equipment-side cabinet panels and locate the drain plugs
in the front of the pump(s) (see Ill. No.1, item 7). 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 proce-
dure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from flooding
the equipment compartment.) Replace the drain plugs.
7. Loosen the hose clamp at the bottom of the heater (Ill. No.1, item 4)
and pull this hose off of the heater fitting (twist the hose back and forth
while pulling downward). Tip the hose down and allow to drain.
8. Re-install the cabinet side panels and cover the hot tub so that no casu-
al moisture can enter the hot tub.
Consult your Authorized Sundance Dealer if you have any questions regarding
winter use or winterizing.
RE-STARTING YOUR HOT TUB IN COLD WEATHER
If you want to start up your hot tub after it has sat empty for a time in freez-
ing 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 re-start
your hot tub under these conditions.
Water Quality Maintenance
Maintaining the quality of the water within specified limits will serve to
enhance your enjoyment and prolong the life of the hot tub's equipment. It is
a fairly simple task, but it requires regular attention because the water chem-
istry involved is a balance of several factors. There is no simple formula, and
there is no avoiding it. A careless attitude 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 Dealer who can recommend
appropriate chemical products for sanitizing and maintaining your hot tub.
CAUTION: Never store hot tub chemicals inside the hot tub's equipment bay.
