Attention New Spa Owner!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Sundance® 680 Series
spa! The following is a list of automated functions and maintenance
recommendations for your new spa. Automated functions have been
listed below in an attempt to suppress any operational concerns you may
have during startup and the rst 24 hours of ownership! Maintenance
recommendations are listed in an attempt to stress their importance in
protecting your new spa.
Automated Operations
Approximately two minutes after power is applied to the spa, the rst ltration/
heating cycle turns on pump 1. In Hartford and Hawthorne models, an
automatic ve minute “blow-out” function also activates pump 2 for a period
of ve minutes to ush all lines. Then, after ve minutes, pump 2 turns off and
pump 1 continues to operate for the duration of the cycle.
Note: This function only occurs during the rst ltration/heating cycle each day.
Maintain Healthy Spa Water
Always maintain your spa’s water chemistry within the following parameters
as dened by the Association of Pool And Spa Professionals/USA:
pH 7.4-7.6
Free Chlorine 3.0-4.0 ppm
Free Bromine 2.0-4.0 ppm
Total Alkalinity 100-120 ppm
Calcium Hardness 150-250 ppm
!
TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE! Always maintain
your spa lter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water. Refer to page
32 for additional information.
Required Filter Maintenance
Your new spa is equipped with an advanced water ltration system that
provides unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum water quality at all
times, you should clean and reuse both lter cartridges every month or as
needed. See page 32 for detailed lter cleaning/replacement instructions.
Required Water Maintenance
!
TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE! You should
replace the spa’s water every 3 months. The frequency depends on a
number of variables including frequency of use, number of users, and
attention paid to water quality maintenance. 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
measurements are all within the proper parameters. See pages 36-38 for
additional information.

Sundance spas dealer and reference item number #6530-082.
3.3 Important CSA Safety Instructions (Canada only)
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr, Ground,
Grounding or the symbol* is located inside the supply terminal
box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided in
the electric supply service panel with a continuous copper wire
equivalent in size to the circuit conductors that supply this equipment
(*IEC Publication 417, Symbol 5019).
3. At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on the
external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box/
compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local
common bonding grid in the area of the spa to these terminals with
an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG
(10 mm²).
4. All eld-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or
other similar hardware within 10 feet (3m) of the spa shall be bonded
to the equipment grounding buss with copper conductors not smaller
than No. 6 AWG (10 mm²).
5. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
3.4 General Electrical Safety Instructions
Your new Sundance® spa is equipped with a “state-of-the-art” equipment
system. It contains the most advanced safety and self-protective
equipment in the industry. Nonetheless, this spa must be installed
properly to ensure dependable usage. Please contact your local
Sundance dealer or local building department should you have any
questions regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Sundance spas are equipped
with a current collector system. A pressure wire connector is provided
on the surface of the control box, located outside the equipment door
(Figure B, page 17) to permit connection of a bonding wire between
this point and any ground metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit
within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa, or copper clad grounding rod buried
Page 8
Page 15
680 SERIES
within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa. Bonding wire must be at least No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm²) solid copper wire. This is a most important safety assurance
feature.
Before installing your spa, check with your local building department to
insure installation conforms to local building codes.
120/240 Volt Denali And Tacoma Convertible Models
A spa connected to a 120 VAC electrical service must be located close
enough to a grounded, grounding-type electrical outlet so that the
included 10 foot (3m) power cord can be plugged directly into it. DO NOT
USE AN EXTENSION CORD as this could cause damage to the spa’s
equipment due to insufcient voltage. The power supplied to this spa
must be a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing the
power provided by the circuit.
4.0 Choosing A Location
IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water
and users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the
spa rests be smooth, at, level and capable of uniformly supporting
this weight, without shifting or settling, for the entire time the spa
is in place. If the spa is placed on a surface which does not meet
these requirements, damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell
may result. Damage caused by improper support is not covered
under warranty. It is the responsibility of the spa owner to assure
the integrity of the support over time. We recommend a poured,
reinforced concrete slab with a minimum thickness of 4 inches
(10 cm). Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is
constructed so that it meets the requirements outlined above.
WARNING: For spas that are to rest on balconies,
roofs or other platforms not specically tied into main
!
structural support, consult a professional Structural
Engineer with experience in this type of application.
The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away
from it. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper
drainage could allow rain, overow and other casual water to ood the
equipment and create a wet condition in which it would sit in. For spas
Page 9
Page 16
680 SERIES
which will be recessed into a oor or deck, install so as to permit access
to the equipment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain
that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of all side
cabinet panels and access to the jets components, especially on the side
with the equipment bay.
CAUTION: If the spa is indoors or located in an enclosed area,
!
proper ventilation should be discussed with an Engineer or authority
competent enough to understand the necessary provisions needed
to vent moist or heated air and air associated with chemical odors
outdoors. When the spa is in use considerable amounts of
moisture will escape potentially causing mold and mildew. This
can cause health risk. Over time, this can damage certain surfaces,
surroundings, and equipment.
4.1 Outdoor Location
In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you
take into consideration the following:
The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in regions •
subject to cold weather).
The pathway to and from your spa (this should be free of debris so •
that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the spa).
The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and •
birds could create extra work in keeping the spa clean).
A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result •
in lowered operation and maintenance costs).
The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to •
place the spa under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water
will shorten the life expectancy of the spa cover.
For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not •
specically tied into main structural support, consult a professional
Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
4.2 Indoor Location
For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before
installing a spa indoors:
PROPER FOUNDATION• : Consult a Structural Engineer when
considering a foundation that will adequately support the spa
the entire time it is in place. Proper support is critical especially if
the spa is to rest on a second story or higher. For spas that are to
rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specically tied into the
main structural support, you should consult a professional Structural
Engineer with experience in this type of application.
Page 10
Page 17
680 SERIES
PROPER DRAINAGE• . It is extremely important to have in place
measures to sufciently handle excessive water spillage. Be
sure the ooring in which the spa rests on has adequate drainage
and can handle draining of the entire contents of the spa. Be sure
to make provisions for ceilings or any other structures that may be
below the spas installation. Areas around your spa can become wet
or moist so all ooring and subsequent furniture, walls and adjacent
structures should be able to withstand or resist water and moisture.
PROPER VENTILATION• . Proper ventilation should be discussed
with an Engineer or authority competent enough to understand
the necessary provisions needed to vent moist or heated air and
air associated with chemical odors outdoors. When the spa is in
use considerable amounts of moisture will escape potentially causing
mold and mildew, over time this can damage certain surfaces and or
surroundings.
SUFFICIENT ACCESS• . In the unlikely event that you should ever
need to access or gain entry to any portion of the spa for servicing,
it is highly recommended that you plan your indoor installation to
provide full access to the entire spa.
WARRANTY• . Damage caused by not following these guidelines
or any improper installation not in accordance with local codes or
authorities is not covered under the spas warranty. Please consult
your local state or city building ordinances.
WARNING: In addition to maintenance of lters and water
chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the
!
risk of contracting a waterborne
bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments
present in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect or
building contractor to determine your specic needs if
installing your hot tub indoors.

7.0 Spa Fill Up Procedure
For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding with that
step.
1. Prepare The Spa For Filling
Clear all debris from the spa. (Although the spa shell has been •
polished at the factory, you may want to treat it with a specially
formulated spa cleaner). Consult your authorized Sundance dealer
for additional information prior to lling spa.
Remove lter/skimmer lid (page • 24), then remove lter cartridge
as outlined in Section 11.1 (page 32).
2. Fill Spa
Place the end of your garden hose into the empty lter bucket.•
CAUTION: TO DECREASE BUILD UP ON COMPONENTS AND
MINIMIZE ACRYLIC DAMAGE.
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. You may ll entirely with hard water if
you use a special water additive available from your Sundance Spas
dealer.
!
• WARNING: TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR
DISEASE.
Fill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose, to reduce risk of
contracting a waterborne
and/or respiratory ailments
touch the bottom of the lowest headrest. (DO NOT OVERFILL!)
IMPORTANT: Always ll your spa 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. Note: DO NOT overtighten lter
cartridge, nger tight only!
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to spa at the home’s circuit breaker to start boot up
sequence (Section 9.0, page 25). The heater and lter pump will
automatically activate after several seconds. If the control panel LED
ashes water temperature and “COOL” or “ICE” this is normal, refer
to page 39 for additional information.

4. Activate Jets Pumps
Turn on all jet(s) pumps to ensure proper mixing when
adding start-up chemical in step 5.
5. Add Start-Up Chemicals
Add the spa water chemicals as recommended by your authorized
Sundance dealer. See Section titled “Water Quality Maintenance”
(page 36) for general guidance.
WARNING: RISK OF POISONING OR DEATH.
Never leave chemicals opened and accessible to anyone.
!
Use chemicals according to the vendors instructions. Always
store chemicals in a safe and/or locked location. Keep away
from and out of reach of children.
6. Establish A Stable Sanitizer Reading
Establish a stable sanitizer reading between 3.0-4.0 ppm chlorine
or 2.0-4.0 ppm bromine. To ensure healthy water conditions, always
maintain a constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended
by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals/USA printed on the
inside cover of this manual. If sanitizer levels cannot be stabilized,
perform the decontamination procedure steps 9-15 on the following
page.
Note: The “decontamination procedure” steps 9-15 should also be used
after the spa has been “Winterized” (Section 11.7, page 35) or has been
sitting without power for an extended period.
7. Set Spa To Heat
To warm spa water to a comfortable temperature, follow
these steps:
The LED • display on the control panel displays the actual temperature
of the spa water. Press either the COOLER ( ) or WARMER
( ) button once to display the “set” temperature for 5 seconds.
If you want the water to heat to a different temperature, simply
press COOLER or WARMER within 5 seconds. The set temperature
increases or decreases by one degree each time one of these
buttons is pressed.
The heater will turn off when the temperature corresponding to the •
thermostat setting is achieved.
Page 19
Page 26
680 SERIES
Important Heater Details:
• The maximum temperature for which the spa can be set is 104 °F
(40 °C) and the minimum is 65 °F (18 °C).
• For North American (60 Hz) 2-pump spas powered by a 40 amp
service, jets pump #1 must be set to low speed and jets pump #2
must be turned off to operate the heater.
• For Export (50 Hz) 2-pump spas powered by a 20 amp service,
jet pump #1 must be set to low speed and jets pump #2 must be
turned off to operate the heater.
• Setting the thermostat at maximum will not accelerate the heating
process. This will only result in a higher ultimate temperature.
• The heater operates until the water reaches the programmed “set
temperature”, then turns off. The heater will reactivate after the
water cools to approximately 1.5° below the “set temperature.”
8. Place Cover On Spa
Keeping the insulating cover in place anytime the spa is not in •
use will reduce the time required for heating, thereby minimizing
operating costs.
The time required for initial heat-up will vary depending on the •
starting water temperature.
DANGER: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
Check water temperature carefully before entering hot tub!
!
Excessive water temperature can cause burns, welts and
body temperature to rise, hyperthermia (over-heating).
Decontamination Procedure (Steps 9-15)
Steps 9-15 below are only required when sanitizer levels are unstable
after performing steps 1-6 above. Disregard steps 9-15 below if sanitizer
levels remain stable at 3.0-4.0 ppm chlorine or 2.0-4.0 ppm bromine after
performing steps 1-6 above.
9. Add 2.5 ounces (71 g) of sodium dichlor for every 100 gallons (378
Liters) of water. Refer to the table below for approximate water ll
volume by model.
CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR SPA DAMAGE!
Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for
!
any reason! These chemical may damage components within
your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash, and void
the manufacturer warranty for your spa.

valve or Diverter Jet that allows you to customize the massage
and performance by diverting water between various jet
systems within the spa. Simply turn valve to positions A, B or
C to divert water pressure to various jet groups.
Note: The valve is intended to operate in positions
A (Combo), B, or C for optimum performance. It is
considered normal for sound levels within the valve
to increase between these positions due to the large
amounts of water owing through it. For optimum ltration
benets, always leave this valve in position A when the
spa is covered and select positions B or C for maximum
jet performance during spa use.
9.8 Air Controls
Certain jet systems have their own air control. Each
control introduces air into the water lines that supply that
specic jet group. Simply turn the air control selection
to open or close. To minimize heat loss, all air controls
should be closed when the spa is not in use.

10.0 Automatic Filtration Cycles
The control system activates a programmable “standard” or “economy”
filtration cycle to remove debris from your spa. These cycles use the low
speed pump, skimmer basket, and filter cartridge quickly clear “skim” the
water of debris and minimize their “bathtub ring” affect. Apart from their
filtration benefit, each mode also effects the operation of your spa’s heater.
Refer to Sections 10.1-10.3 below for additional information.
10.1 Standard Filtration/Heating Modes For Models Without Circulation Pump Option
Standard filtration/heating modes (F1-F3) are typically selected by
customers in cold climates where heat up times are extended due
to lower ambient temperatures. In either of these modes, the water
temperature is regulated by the set temperature, low-speed jets pump
1 and heater which turns on as needed. After the programmed set
temperature is reached, the heater and low speed pump turn off, only to
turn back on during a heat call or during the next programmed filtration/
heating cycle.
10.2 Standard Filtration/Heating Modes For Models With Circulation Pump Option
Standard filtration/heating modes (F0-F3) are typically selected by
customers in cold climates where heat up times are extended due
to lower ambient temperatures. In either of these modes, the water
temperature is regulated by the set temperature, 24 hour circulation
pump and heater which turns on as needed. After the programmed set
temperature is reached, the heater turns off and the circulation pump
continues to operate 24 hours to filter and clean your spa.
10.3 Economy Filtration/Heating Modes (F4-F6)
Economy ltration/heating modes are typically selected by customers in
warm climates where heat up times are minimized due to higher ambient
temperatures. In these modes, the water temperature is regulated by the
set temperature, low-speed pump, optional circulating pump and heater
only while a programmed filtration/heating cycle is running.
Note: These modes consume less energy than standard modes F1-F3
outlined above.
10.4 Lock Modes (L1-L2)
These modes are designed for use during spa service or to prevent
unauthorized use.

11.0 Spa Maintenance
Proper and regular maintenance of your spa will help it retain its beauty
and performance. Your authorized Sundance dealer can supply you with
all the information, supplies, and accessory products you will need to
accomplish this.
DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING
!
BY ENTRAPMENT!
Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away •
from suction ttings, rotating jets or other moving components to
avoid entrapment that could lead to drowning or severe injury.
Never use the spa unless all suction guards, lter, lter lid, or •
skimmer assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair
entrapment.
Never operate or use the spa if the lter, lter lid, or skimmer •
assembly are broken or any part of the skimmer assembly is missing.
Please contact your dealer or nearest service center for service.
The suction ttings and suction covers in this spa are sized •
to match the specic water ow created by the pump(s). If it
is necessary to replace the suction ttings, suction covers or
pump(s), be sure that the ow rates are compatible and are in
compliance with the VGB Safety Act page 2.
Never replace a suction tting or suction cover with one rated •
less than the ow rate marked on the original suction tting.
Using improper suction ttings or suction covers can create
a body or hair suction entrapment hazard that may lead to
drowning or severe injury.
Owners must alert all spa users to the potential risk of Hair, •
Limb, Body, Evisceration (disembowelment), and Mechanical
Entrapment, page 6.

A. Burlington, Hartford and Hawthorne
Models:
Your spa is equipped with two filter cartridges
Spa Filter Bay
which are utilized as follows:
Models equipped • with the optional 24
hour circulation pump use cartridge 1 for the circulation pump and
cartridge 2 for jets pump 1.
Page 32
To Install: Turn
Clockwise
Cartridge 2
Page 39
680 SERIES
Spas • not equipped with the optional 24 hour circulation pump use
both lter cartridges for jets pump 1.
During spa use or an automatic filter cycle, water flows through the
spa skimmer and into both polyester mesh filter cartridges to trap
suspended particles and oils on their surface pleats. To ensure optimum
performance, it is necessary to remove and clean both filter cartridges
once a month or sooner depending on spa use and water quality.
B. Denali and Tacoma Models:
Your Sundance spa is equipped with a skimmer basket and lter
cartridge located in the skimmer/lter well. Filtering is accomplished
when the pump turns on in low speed to initiate water ow through the
skimmer basket and polyester mesh lter cartridge. As this happens,
suspended particles become trapped on the lter’s surface. To ensure
optimum performance, it is necessary to remove and clean the skimmer
basket once a week and lter cartridge once a month or sooner,
depending on usage and water quality.
C. Cleaning Procedure (for All Models):
1. Turn off power to the spa at the home’s breaker panel or select
the L1 “Lock” mode (page 29) to disable all spa functions.
2. Remove the lter strainer lid assembly.
3. Remove the lter cartridge by rotating it counterclockwise to
unthread it from the lter wall tting, then lift it straight up to remove
from lter well.
4. Using a garden hose with a high-pressure nozzle to rinse debris from
the lter pleats beginning at the top and working your way downward.
Continue, one section at a time, until you have rinsed all of the lter’s
pleats.
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 authorized Sundance dealer. The average life
expectancy of a Sundance filter cartridge is approximately two years
with proper care and water quality maintenance. A replacement cartridge
may be purchased from your dealer.
11.2 Draining and Refilling
About every 3 months, you will want to replace the spa’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 measurements are all within the proper parameters.
Page 33
Page 40
680 SERIES
CAUTION! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent
damage to the spa’s components, turn off power to the
!
spa at the circuit breaker before draining it. Do not turn
the power back on until your spa has been relled. There are
certain precautions to keep in mind when draining your spa.
If it is extremely cold, and the spa is outdoors, freezing could
occur in the lines or the equipment (see “WINTERIZING”,
page 35). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not leave
the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.
To drain your spa, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power to spa at breaker.
2. Locate and remove the synthetic cabinet door
screws and door. The door is located directly
below the control panel and is easily identied
by it’s vertical cooling slots.
3. Locate drain hose line attached to 2 x 4 wood
slat (Figure A) with tie wraps.
4. Cut tie wraps and pull drain hose from
equipment area (Figure B).
5. Hold drain hose above water line (Figure B),
then unthread drain cap (1) from hose using a
counterclockwise rotation. Place hose on ground
making sure to direct water away from spa.
6. Turn valve (2) clockwise to open drain (Figure C).
7. After spa has completely drained, reinstall
drain cap on drain valve nger tight! DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN! Close valve by turning
clockwise to off position.
8. Place drain hose back inside the spa equipment
bay.
9. Reinstall synthetic cabinet door and screws.
10. After relling spa, turn on power and follow the
“Spa Fill Up Procedure” (page 18).

11.3 Pillow Care (All Models Except Denali)
Remove and clean the headrest pillows as needed with soapy water using
a cloth or soft-bristle brush. To maintain water resistance and luster, apply
a quality vinyl conditioner once a month. Always remove the pillows when
adding chemical shock treatment to the spa water. The pillows can be
returned to the spa when the sanitizer reading drops below 4 ppm.
11.4 Cleaning The Spa Interior
To preserve the sheen of your spa’s surface, it is crucial that you avoid
using abrasive cleaners or cleaners which have adverse chemical effect
on the surface. If you are not certain as to the suitability of a particular
Page 34
Page 41
680 SERIES
cleanser, consult your authorized Sundance dealer. Regardless of the
cleanser used, use extreme care to assure that no soap residue is left on
the surface. This could cause severe sudsing when the spa is relled.
11.5 Maintaining The Cover
Using the Sundance insulating spa cover anytime the spa is not in
use will signicantly 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 spa covers will help
protect against deterioration caused by UV rays from the sun.
Note: Never allow anyone to stand or sit on the cover, and avoid
dragging it across rough surfaces.
11.6 Maintaining The Synthetic Cabinet
Your new spa’s synthetic cabinet requires little or no maintenance of any
kind. To clean, simply wipe cabinet with a clean towel and mild soap solution.
CAUTION: Never spray cabinet with a garden hose for any
reason since this action may induce an electrical short in the
spa’s electrical equipment.
11.7 Winterizing
Your Sundance® spa is designed to automatically protect itself against
freezing when operating properly. During periods of severe freezing
temperatures, you should check periodically to be certain that the
electrical supply to the spa has not been interrupted. In extreme, bitter
cold weather less than -20 °F (-29 °C), choose the F3 “Standard”
ltration/heating mode to prevent freezing (pages 30-31).
If you do not intend to use your spa, or if there is a prolonged power
outage during periods of severe freezing temperatures, it is important
that all water be removed from the spa and equipment to protect
against damage from freezing.
Expert winterization of your spa is highly recommended, contact your
authorized Jacuzzi dealer. In emergency situations, damage can be
minimized by taking the following steps:
CAUTION: TURN OFF POWER TO HOT TUB!
1. Turn off power to the spa.
2. Follow the directions on page 33 for draining the spa.
3. Turn the massage/diverter selector(s) into the middle combo position
to allow the water in the plumbing lines to drain, see page 28.
4. Turn the waterfall valve to the open position to allow the water in the
plumbing lines to drain, see page 24.
Page 35
Page 42
680 SERIES
5. 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, such as a wet/dry vacuum.
6. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available
to remove any remaining water from the footwell, such as a wet/dry
vacuum.
7. Remove the equipment-side cabinet panel and locate the drain plugs
in the front of the pump(s) (Figure A, page 16). 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
ooding the equipment compartment. Replace the pump drain plugs.
8. Re-install cabinet side panels and cover spa so that no casual
moisture can enter into it.
Consult your authorized Sundance dealer if you have any questions
regarding winter use or winterizing.
11.8 Restarting Your Spa in Cold Weather
If you want to start up your spa after it has sat empty for a time in freezing
temperatures, be aware that the water remaining in certain sections of the
piping may still be frozen. This situation will block water ow preventing the
spa from operating properly and possibly damaging the equipment. We
recommend you consult your authorized Sundance dealer for guidance
before attempting to re-start your spa under these conditions.
12.0 Water Quality Maintenance
To decrease the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection,
bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments
specied limits. This will enhance your enjoyment and prolong the life of
the hot tub’s equipment. Doing so requires regular attention because the
water chemistry involved is a balance of several factors. Procrastination in
regard to water maintenance will result in poor and potentially unhealthful
conditions for soaking and even damage to your hot tub investment. For
specic guidance on maintaining water quality, consult your Authorized
Sundance Spas dealer who can recommend appropriate chemical
products for sanitizing and maintaining your hot tub.

Page 43
680 SERIES
CAUTION: Never store hot tub chemicals inside the hot tub’s equipment bay. The equipment bay may reach elevated temperatures,
this is where high voltage electronic devices are located. This area
is not intended for storage of any kind.
12.1 pH Control
pH is a measure of relative acidity or alkalinity of water and is measured
on a scale of 0 to 14. The midpoint of 7 is said to be neutral, above which
is alkaline and below which is acidic. In spa water, it is very important to
maintain a slightly alkaline condition of 7.4 to 7.6 pH. Problems become
proportionately severe the further outside of this range the water gets.
A low pH will be corrosive to metals in the spa equipment. A high pH will
cause minerals to deposit on the interior surface (scaling). In addition,
the ability of the sanitation agents to keep the spa clean is severely
affected as the pH moves beyond the ideal range. That is why almost all
spa water test kits contain a measure for pH as well as sanitizer.
12.2 Sanitizing
To destroy bacteria and organic compounds in the spa water, a sanitizer
must be used regularly. Chlorine and bromine are the two most popular
sanitizers used to date. Many other additives are available for your spa.
Some are necessary to compensate for out-of-balance water; some aid
in cosmetic water treatment and others simply alter the feel or smell of
the water. Your authorized Sundance dealer can advise you on the use of
these additives. When adding spa shock (chlorine or non-chlorine) or pH
balancing chemicals activate the jets pump(s) and leave the spa cover
open for a minimum of 20 minutes. By doing this you will allow excessive
chemical vapors to exit the spa, protecting pillows and plastic knobs from
chemical attack.
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DROWNING
OR ENTRAPMENT!
!
Never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while the
cover is open and accessible, especially to small children and
animals!
CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR SPA DAMAGE!
Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for
any reason! These chemical may damage components within
your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash and void
the manufacturer warranty for your spa.

680 SERIES
12.3 CD Ozone Water Maintenance System
This system is optional on North American models and standard equipment
on export 50 Hz spa models. If your spa is equipped with the optional
Sundance CD Ozone water purication system you will nd that your water
stays fresh and clear with signicantly less chemical sanitizer usage. You will
also probably be able to go longer between complete spa drainings.
13.0 Error Conditions/Error Messages
Your spa has a self-diagnostic control system. The system will automati-
cally display the following if a problem is detected.
13.1 Summer Logic (Spas With Circulation Pump
Option)
When the actual spa water temperature reaches up to 2 °F
(1 °C) above the set temperature, the spa goes into “summer
logic.” The 24 hour circulation pump will turn off automatically
to avoid adding additional heat to the water, eventually
creating an overheat condition. This setting is not user-programmable.
Note: The summer logic does not take effect until the spa water
temperature reaches 95 °F (35 °C). This condition is more likely in
excessively hot weather. Remember, the spa’s ability to cool is directly
affected by the ambient temperature. An excessively hot ambient
temperature may prevent the spa from cooling down because it’s
fully insulated construction is designed to retain heat and to minimize
operating costs.
13.2 Panel displays SN1
Open sensor (heater is disabled) or shorted sensor
(spa is deactivated). The high-limit temperature sensor is not
functioning. Your authorized Sundance dealer must repair this.
13.3 Panel displays SN2

13.4 Panel Flashes FL1 or FL2 (Spas Without Circulation Pump
Option)
A flashing “FL1” display means the pressure switch is not
closed when the jets pump 1 is activated. Proper waterflow is
inhibited or the pressure switch has malfunctioned. A flashing
“FL2” display means the pressure switch is manfunctioning
closed. In either case, the heater is deactivated. To correct
condition, perform to the following:
Page 38
Page 45
680 SERIES
1. Verify water level is one inch below lowest pillow. Add water if
necessary.
2. Check for clogged or excessively dirty filter cartridges (Section 11.1,
page 32).
3. Purge “air lock” from jets pump 1 by loosening the upper pump head
drain screw (Figure A, page 16) for a few seconds to release trapped
air, then retighten drain screw. FINGER TIGHT ONLY!
4. If problem persists, contact your authorized Sundance dealer.
13.5 Panel Flashes FL1 or FL2 (Spas With Circulation
Pump Option)
A ashing “FL1” display means the ow switch is malfunctioning
open, the circulation pump lter cartridge 1 is excessively dirty
or an “air lock” condition has occurred at the circulation pump
intake. A ashing “FL2” display means the ow switch is malfunc-
tioning closed. In either case, the spa heater will deactivate and
jets pump #1 may also deactivate. To correct condition perform the
following:
1. Verify water level is 1" below lowest pillow. Add water if necessary.
2. Check for clogged or excessively dirty lter cartridges (Section 11.1,
page 32).
3. Purge “air lock” from circulation pump intake by removing lter
cartridge 1 (page 32). Hold your garden hose over the lter cartridge
1 wall tting (with grate) while using a rag as a seal around hose end.
Ask a helper to turn on water for 30 seconds, then turn off. Reinstall
lter cartridge 1 and check spa (Section 11.1, page 32).
4. If the circulation pump is not running, turn power off at the main
breaker, then turn power back on. This will reset the circulation pump
priming cycle. Once the pump is primed, the error should clear.
5. If problem persists, contact your authorized Sundance dealer.

to move to the next MP3 le and the fast forward function may not be
performed smoothly. Loading such a media may produce loud noise
and cause damage to the speakers. When selected to play, les and
