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 Sundance
dealer.
Replace the filter cartridge by sliding it back onto the pipe then securing one
of the protruding tabs on the other end under the filter hook. Tighten the
filter retainer nut only until it just barely touches the filter face -- DO NOT over
tighten or filter will be damaged and/or filter hook will dislodge from
wall (see Ill No. 4, page 23).
The average life expectancy of a Sundance filter cartridge is approximately
two years with proper care and water quality maintenance. A replacement car-
tridge may be purchased from your Sundance Dealer.
DRAINING and REFILLING
About every 3 to 6 months, you will want to replace the hot tub’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 mea-
surements are all within the proper parameters.
WARNING! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent damage to
the hot tub’s components, turn off power to the hot tub at the cir-
cuit breaker before draining it. Do not turn the power back on
until your hot tub has been refilled.
CAUTION: There are certain precautions to keep in mind when drain-
ing your hot tub. If it is extremely cold, and the hot tub is outdoors,
freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment (see “WINTERIZ-
ING”, page 27). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not leave
the hot tub’s surface exposed to direct sunlight for long periods.
To drain your hot tub using the drain port provided, first turn off the power
to the hot tub at the circuit breaker. Then remove the center panel from
the side of the cabinet under the control panel. The drain port is secured to
the base inside the door and features a white “T” handle (Ill. No. 1, item 5).
To attach a garden hose, replace the fitting screwed into the end of the drain
port with the fitting provided with your hot tub (in the plastic bag with your
colored lenses). For faster draining, a special, large-diameter drain hose is
available from your Sundance dealer.
