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 lter strainer lid or skimmer assembly.
3. Remove the lter cartridge by rotating it counterclockwise to
unthread it from the lter wall tting, then lift it straight up to remove
from lter well.
4. Using a garden hose with a high-pressure nozzle to rinse debris from
the lter pleats beginning at the top and working your way downward.
Continue, one section at a time, until you have rinsed all of the lter’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.
CAUTION! 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 relled. 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 “WINTERIZING”, page
37). 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 (actual
drain may vary from one shown). Turn off power
to spa at breaker.
1. Locate and remove the synthetic cabinet and
screws. The synthetic cabinet is located directly
below the control panel and is easily identied by
it’s vertical cooling slots.
