Periodically, the stage 1 filter will need a more thorough cleaning to remove imbed-
ded oils and minerals. For this, we suggest cleaning as illustrated above (step D),
followed by soaking the filter overnight in a plastic container filled with a solution of
water and a specially formulated filter cleanser available from your Sundance dealer.
The average life expectancy of the reusable stage 1 filter is approximately two years
with proper care and water quality maintenance. The smaller stage 2 filt
er 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 hot tub! Replacement cartridges may be purchased from your
Sundance dealer. Note: Nylon suction filters need to be cleaned periodically for
optimum performance of all jets (See Figure-F, page 17).
