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:
pH7.4-7.6
Free Chlorine3.0-4.0 ppm
Free Bromine2.0-4.0 ppm
Total Alkalinity100-120 ppm
Calcium Hardness150-250 ppm
Always maintain your spa lter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa
water. Refer to pages 34-35 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 30 for detailed lter cleaning/replacement instructions.
Required Water Maintenance
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 34-35 for additional information.
Your Sundance® 680 Series spa is constructed to the highest standards
and is capable of providing many years of trouble-free use. However,
because heat retentive materials are utilized to insulate the spa for
efcient operation, an uncovered spa surface and wall ttings directly
exposed to sunlight and high temperatures for an extended period
are subject to permanent damage or discoloration. Damage caused
by exposing the spa to this abuse is not covered under warranty.
We recommend that you always keep the spa full of water when it is
exposed to direct sunlight and that you keep the Sundance premium
insulating cover in place at all times when the spa is not in use. Read
and carefully follow the requirements for your spa’s support base found
in Section 4.0 titled, “Choosing a Location” (page 8).
Sundance constantly strives to offer the finest spas available,
therefore modifications and enhancements may be made which
affect the specifications, illustrations and/or instructions contained
herein.

7. Proper chemical maintenance of spa water is necessary to maintain
safe water and prevent possible damage to spa components.
8. Use the straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover when not in
use. This will help to discourage unsupervised children from entering
the spa and keep the spa cover secure in high-wind conditions.
There is no representation that the cover, clip tie-downs, or actual
locks will prevent access to the spa.
9. This spa is not intended nor designed to be used in a commercial or
public application. The spa buyer shall determine whether there are
any code restrictions on the use or installation of this spa since local
code requirements vary from one locality to another.
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.
Page 6
Page 13
680 SERIES
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 15) 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
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.
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
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.
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.
Page 8
Page 15
680 SERIES
4.2 Indoor Location
For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before
installing a spa indoors:
•PROPERFOUNDATION: 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.
•PROPERDRAINAGE. 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.
•PROPERVENTILATION. 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.
•SUFFICIENTACCESS. 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 exposure to viruses and bacteria that could be present
in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect or building
contractor to determine your specic needs if installing your
spa indoors.

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 22), then remove lter
cartridge as outlined in Section 11.1 (page 30).
2. Fill Spa
• 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 authorized Sundance dealer.
• Fill spa with clean tap water from garden hose until water covers
all jets (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 PowerTurn on power to spa at the home’s circuit breaker to start boot up
sequence (Section 9.0, page 23). 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 37 for additional information.
4. Activate Jets PumpsTurn on all jet(s) pumps to ensure proper mixing when
adding start-up chemical in step 5.
Page 16
Page 23
680 SERIES
5. Add Start-Up ChemicalsAdd the spa water chemicals as recommended by your authorized
Sundance dealer. See Section titled “Water Quality Maintenance”
(page 34) for general guidance.
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 33) 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.
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.”
Page 17
Page 24
680 SERIES
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 injury, always check water temperature
!
carefully before entering spa!
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: Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) to your

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!
The suction ttings in this spa are sized to match the specic
!
water ow created by the pump. If it is necessary to replace
the suction ttings or the pump, be sure that the ow rates
are compatible.
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.
Never replace a suction tting with one rated less than •
the ow rate marked on the original suction tting. Using
improper suction ttings can create a body or hair suction
entrapment hazard that may lead to drowning or near
drowning.
Never use the spa unless all suction guards, lter, lter lid, •
or skimmer assembly are installed to prevent body and/or
hair 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 near drowning.
11.1 Cleaning The Filter
A. Burlington, Hartford and Hawthorne
To Remove: Turn
Counterclockwise
To Install: Turn
Clockwise
Models:
Your spa is equipped with two filter cartridges
which are utilized as follows:
• Models equipped with the optional 24
hour circulation pump use cartridge 1
Cartridge 2
Cartridge 1
for the circulation pump and cartridge
2 for jets pump 1.
• Spas not equipped with the optional
Spa Filter Bay
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.
Page 30
Page 37
680 SERIES
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 27) 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 31
Page 38
680 SERIES
WARNING! 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.
CAUTION: 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 33). 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 16).

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
Page 32
Page 39
680 SERIES
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
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 28-29).
If you do not intend to use your spa, or if there is a prolonged power
Page 33
Page 40
680 SERIES
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. For expert winterization of your spa, contact
your authorized Sundance dealer. In emergency situations, damage
can be minimized by taking the following steps:
1. Follow the directions on pages 31-32 for draining the spa.
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 off power to the spa.
5. Remove the equipment-side cabinet panel and locate the drain plugs
in the front of the pump(s) (Figure A, page 14). 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.
6. 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
Maintaining the quality of the water within specied limits will serve to
enhance your enjoyment and prolong the life of the spa’s equipment. It
is a fairly simple task, but it requires regular attention because the water
chemistry involved is a balance of several factors. There is no simple
formula, and there is no avoiding it. A careless attitude in regard to water
maintenance will result in poor and potentially unhealthful conditions
Page 34
Page 41
680 SERIES
for soaking and even damage to your spa. For specic guidance on
maintaining water quality, consult your authorized Sundance dealer
who can recommend appropriate chemical products for sanitizing and
maintaining your spa.
CAUTION: Never store spa chemicals inside the spa’s
equipment bay.
!
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.
CAUTION: Do not use chlorine tablets (trichlor) in your spa.
This chemical can have an extremely corrosive effect on
!
certain materials in the spa. Damage caused by use of this
chemical, or improper use of any chemicals, is not covered
under the spa’s warranty.
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
automatically 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
