If you do not intend to use your hot tub, or if there is a prolonged power out-
age during periods of severe freezing temperatures, it is important that all
water be removed from the hot tub and equipment to protect against dam-
age from freezing.
For expert winterization of your hot tub, contact your authorized
Sundance Dealer. In emergency situations, damage can be minimized by
taking the following steps: CAUTION: Turn off power to hot tub.
1. Follow the directions on page 30 for draining the hot tub.
2. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means necessary
to get the water out of the recessed seating areas and into the footwell.
3. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available to
remove any remaining water from the footwell.
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 injector 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) (Figure-A, Page 10). 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
procedure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from
flooding the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.
7. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of heater (Figure-A, Page 10) and pull
hose off of heater fitting (twist the hose back and forth while pulling
downward). Tip hose down and allow to drain, then reinstall hose and
clamp.
8. Re-install cabinet side panels and cover hot tub so that no casual
moisture can enter into it.
Consult your Authorized Sundance Dealer if you have any questions regard-
ing winter use or winterizing.
11 .9 Restarting Your Hot Tub in Cold Weather
If you want to start up your hot tub after it has sat empty for a time in
freezing temperatures, be aware that the water remaining in certain sec-
tions 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.
