MAINTAINING THE WOOD CABINET
With time and exposure to the elements, the wood on your hot tub will tend to lose
its new appearance. Protecting or reviving the wood surfaces is a fairly simple
process. Light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper will help smooth any roughness and
regular applications of a penetrating wood preservative will enhance and protect the
richness of the wood. A specially formulated wood stain available from your
Sundance dealer is ideal for this.
NOTE: Do not apply varnish, shellac or other surface sealants to the
wood. These tend to react with the chemicals in the wood and the
UV rays of the sun, causing yellowing, flaking and peeling.
MAINTAINING THE COVER
Using the Sundance insulating hot tub cover anytime the hot tub is not in use will sig-
nificantly reduce your operating costs, heat-up time and maintenance requirements. To
prolong the life of the cover, handle it with care and clean it regularly using mild soap and
water. Periodic treatments with a special conditioner developed for Sundance hot tub cov-
ers will help protect against deterioration caused by U.V. rays from the sun. Never allow
anyone to stand or sit on the cover, and avoid dragging it across rough surfaces.
WINTERIZING
Your Sundance hot tub is designed to automatically protect itself against freez-
ing when operating properly. During periods of severe freezing temperatures,
you should check periodically to be certain that the electrical supply to the hot
tub has not been interrupted. In extreme, bitter cold weather (less than -20°F)
reset the filter cycles for 24-hour operation to protect the hot tub (i.e. four 6-
hour cycles).
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:
1. Follow the directions on page 24 for draining the hot tub.
2. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means neces-
sary 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
