8.0 Hot Tub Fill Up Procedure
FOR BEST RESULTS, READ EACH STEP IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE
PROCEEDING WITH THAT STEP.
1. Prepare The Hot Tub For Filling
• Clear all debris from the hot tub. (Although the hot tub shell
has been polished at the factory, you may want to treat it with
a specially formulated hot tub cleaner.) Consult your dealer for
additional information prior to lling hot tub.
• Remove lter lid (Figure F-H, pages 23-25), then remove lter
cartridge from lter bucket as illustrated in Section 13.1.
2. Fill Hot Tub
• Place the end of your garden hose into the empty lter bucket.
CAUTION: Never ll with water from a water softener.
If your water is extremely “hard”, it is preferable to ll
half-way with hard water and the rest of the way with
softened water. Or, you may ll entirely with hard water
if you use a special water additive available from your
Sundance Spas dealer.
• Fill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose until water
covers all jets but does not touch the bottom of the lowest
headrest (DO NOT OVERFILL!).
IMPORTANT: Always ll your hot tub through the lter
bucket after draining. Failure to do so may cause air to
be trapped in either pump, preventing the pump from
circulating water. Remove the hose and replace the lter
cartridge as illustrated in Section 13.1 (pages 43).
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to hot tub at the home’s circuit breaker to start boot
up sequence. The heater and lter/circulation pump will automatically
activate. If the control panel LCD ashes water temperature and
“COOL” or “ICE”, this is normal. Refer to page 50 for additional
information.
