ELITE SERIES
Periodically, the polyester mesh (pleated) lter will need a more thorough
cleaning to remove imbedded oils and minerals. For this, we suggest
cleaning as illustrated above (step D), followed by soaking the lter
overnight in a plastic container lled with a solution of water and a
specially formulated lter cleanser available from your Sundance dealer.
CAUTION: RISK OF PRODUCT DAMAGE!
Never scrub the polyester mesh lter cartridge with a brush as •
this will cause the polyester mesh to wear out and come apart.
Never let the spa pump run or have a lter cycle come on with-•
out a lter cartridge in the skimmer compartment. Running the
spa without a lter cartridge may permit debris to enter the spa
plumbing and void the warranty!
The average life expectancy of the polyester mesh lter cartridge is
approximately two years with proper care and water quality maintenance.
The smaller stage 2 lter cannot be cleaned and must be replaced
(thrown-out) every 3 months, or as needed. DO NOT reuse this cartridge!
Attempts to reuse this cartridge will reintroduce debris back into your
spa! Replacement cartridges may be purchased from your Sundance
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
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.
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 relled. 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”, Section 11.7
page 40). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not
leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight for long
periods.
