Fluidix Intelli-Jet Operation Details

The Fluidix Intelli-Jets in your new spa offer the advantage of no moving parts and zero maintenance. They can also be adjusted for a high and low impact massage, providing the ultimate massage! Each jet has it’s own water volume and directional or oscillating flow adjustment. The jet’s outer dial controls water volume (flow rate) and it’s center “mode disk” selects either an oscillating or directional flow massage.

Fluidix Intelli-Jet Adjustment

1.Turn outer dial (A) clockwise to increase water volume. Turn outer dial counterclockwise to decrease water volume or to shut jet off.

2.Rotate center “mode disk” (B) clockwise to select a non-oscillating water stream or turn counterclockwise to select an oscillating stream at any angle.

3.For a high impact massage, turn corresponding air control knob clockwise. For low impact

massage, turn corresponding air control knob counterclockwise.

Note: Always keep at least 6 adjustable jets open at all times on each jet system.

Programming The Change Filter Reminder Display

Your new spa may be equipped with a programmable “Change Filter” reminder that appears on the control panel display after a specified number of days. It is designed to remind you to clean and/or replace your filter

cartridge(s) on a regular basis but does not affect spa operation in any way. This reminder must be reset at each filter cleaning interval. It offers a selectable range from 10-120 days or can be disabled. We recommend an initial setting of 30 days, after which you can easily determine whether you need to shorten or lengthen its interval by visually inspecting your filter cartridge. Refer to section 11.1 in the supplied owner’s manual for filter cleaning recommendations.

Programming Instructions

(1)Press the CYCLE sensor three times. The main display reads “FIL” indicating the “Change Filter” display program has been accessed.

(2)Press SELECT sensor once to display currently programmed duration or days elapsed since last filter cleaning interval.

(3)Press UP or DOWN sensor to change duration as follows:

0 - 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - 50 - 60 - 70 - 80 - 90 - 100 - 110 - 120 -

OFF

(4) Press DISPLAY sensor once to save changes and return to the standard water temperature display. Note: If no sensor is pressed within 30 seconds, the screen will automatically return to the standard water temperature display.

Hot Tub Gravity Drain Draining Procedure

1.Turn off power to hot tub at breaker.

2.Locate the 3” gray drain valve cap on the left or right side of the hot tub. Unscrew drain valve cap to expose the underlying male garden hose fitting. Attach hose to fitting and route opposite end away from hot tub.

3.Pull outward on garden hose at drain connection (approx. 3/8”) to open valve and release water. Water drains at approximately 3 gallons per minute.

4.Close drain valve by pushing inward on garden hose at drain connection until you feel it bottom out, then remove garden hose, install gray drain cap, and refill spa. Refer to “Start-Up Instructions” (page 9).

FILTER

you to inspect and/or replace the MicroClean II filter cartridge.

This reminder must be reset at each filter inspection/replace-

 

ment interval. Refer to page 2 of this addendum sheet for

 

additional information and programming details.

 

Your Sundance hot tub is equipped a high-efficiency MicroClean II filter cartridge under the filter lid. Debris is filtered by the circulation pump drawing water through this cartridge 24-hours a day, 7 days a week (unless programmed otherwise.) To ensure optimum performance, replace this cartridge every 6 months or as needed. This filter cannot be cleaned and reused and MUST be thrown out after use.

All spas also include filters on their footwell suction covers that prevent debris from entering either jets pump system and related massage selector valve when running. The suction filters must remain in place to protect these components from debris entrap-

ment/damage and should be cleaned every 2 months, or when weak jets pump performance is observed.

ALWAYS TURN POWER TO THE HOT TUB OFF BEFORE REPLACING THE MICROCLEAN II FILTER CARTRIDGE! To accomplish this, refer to the following filter replacement procedure:

Replacement MicroClean II filter cartridges may be purchased from your Sundance dealer. An optional pleated filter cartridge is also available from your Sundance dealer. This filter can be cleaned and reused for up to two years but does not maintain the same water quality and clarity as the standard MicroClean II cartridge.

NOTE: nylon suction filters are installed on all footwell pump intakes. These filters must be cleaned periodically to ensure optimum jet performance. They are important since they protect your new spa’s massage selectors and equipment from debris entrapment damage while either jets pump is running.

1.0 Important Hot Tub Owner Information

Your Sundance hot tub 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 hot tub for efficient operation, an uncovered hot tub surface directly exposed to sunlight and high temperatures for an extended period is subject to permanent damage. Damage caused by exposing the hot tub to this abuse is not covered by warranty. We recommend that you always keep the hot tub full of water when it is exposed to direct sunlight and that you keep the Sundance insulating cover in place at all times when the hot tub is not in use. Read and carefully follow the requirements for your hot tub’s support base found in section 3.0 titled, “Locating Your Sundance Hot Tub” (page 5.)

Sundance Spas constantly strives to offer the finest hot tubs available, therefore modifications and enhancements may be made which affect the specifications, illustrations and/or instructions contained herein.

FCC Notice

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Digital Device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

2.0 Important Safety Instructions

When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1.READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING THE HOT TUB!

2.DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Install at least 1.5m, from all metal surfaces. A hot tub may be installed within 1.5m of metal surfaces, if in accordance with the country electrical code.

3.DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within 1.5m of a hot tub unless such appliances are built-in by the manufacturer.

4.CAUTION - The hot tub must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage of the electrical equipment compartment.

5.CAUTION - This hot tub must be hard-wired to your household electrical service box only. Do not use an extension cord or any other disconnectable power cord. The use of an extension cord or a disconnectable power cord is highly dangerous and will void all manufacturer warranties!

6. A symbol is located inside the supply terminal box or compartment

(Figure-B, Page 7). To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect this terminal or connector to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or supply panel with a continuous green insulated wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than 10mm2. In addition, a second wire is provided for bonding to local ground points. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this connector should be bonded with a 10mm2 copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal objects within 1.5m of the hot tub.

7.The electrical supply for this product must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with country electrical code.

Page 2

ENGLISH

8.Overflowing or Overfilling: Overfilling can cause the hot tub to siphon out water through the air venturis. Overfilling problems are not covered by the warranty.

9.Before entering a hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of the water temperature-regulating device may vary as much as ±3°C.

10.Always enter and exit the hot tub slowly and cautiously. Wet surfaces will be slippery.

11.Do not use the hot tub while alone.

12.WARNING - RISK OF CHILD DROWNING: Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use the hot tub unless they are supervised by an adult at all times.

13.DANGER - To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove any drain suction gate or cover.

14.Never use the weir gate for sitting or for resting your feet. It is designed to float freely.

15.The water in the hot tub should never exceed 40°C. Water temperatures between 38°C and 40°C are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 - 15 minutes) and for young children.

16.Since excessive water temperatures have potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit hot tub or spa water temperatures to a maximum of 38°C.

17.The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.

18.Persons suffering from obesity or with with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a hot tub.

Page 3

ENGLISH

19.Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a hot tub since some medications may induce drowsiness while other medications may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

20.Long exposures in the hot tub may result in nausea, dizziness or fainting. Observe a reasonable time limit, leave the hot tub, then shower, cool down, and if you wish, return for another brief stay.

21.Excessive temperatures may cause hyperthermia. The symptoms and first aid information are as follows:

A.Heat Stroke: The most susceptible people are the very young and

elderly, alcoholics and most people under the influence of drugs, medication and alcohol.

B.Symptoms: Hyperthermia causes loss of salt, sweating, dizziness,

headache, dryness of mouth and nausea, faintness and/or unconsciousness, convulsions, flushed appearance of skin, and rapid pulse and/or weak, shallow breathing.

C.Treatment: Place the victim on his back, head slightly elevated.

Apply wet cloths or ice packs to the head, wrap the body in a sheet, pouring on a small amount of water. Follow with a cool shower or bath. Get medical attention as soon as possible.

22.It is recommended that the following emergency telephone numbers be listed at the nearest telephone: physician, hospital, ambulance, and police.

23.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

3.0 Locating Your Sundance Hot Tub

IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the hot tub, water and users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the hot tub rests be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight, without shifting or settling, for the entire time the hot tub is in place. If the hot tub is placed on a surface which does not meet these requirements, damage to the skirt and/or the hot tub shell may result. Damage caused by improper support is not covered under the factory warranty. It is the responsibility of the hot tub owner to assure the integrity of the support at all times.

We recommend a poured, reinforced concrete slab with a minimum thickness of 10cm. Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is constructed so that it meets the requirements outlined above.

The hot tub must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away from it. Placing the hot tub in a depression without provisions for proper drainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood the equipment and create a wet condition in which it would sit. For hot tubs which will be recessed into a floor 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 the cabinet side panels, especially on the side with the equipment bay doors.

3.1 Outdoor Locations

In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your hot tub, we suggest that you take into consideration 1) the proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in colder weather); 2) the pathway to and from your hot tub (this should be free of debris so that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the hot tub); 3) the closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and birds could create extra work in keeping the hot tub clean); 4) a sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result in lowered operation and maintenance costs); and 5) the overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to place the hot tub under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water will shorten the life expectancy of the hot tub cover.

3.2 Indoor Locations

For indoor installations, be certain to make provisions for proper ventilation. When the hot tub is in use, considerable amounts of moisture will escape. This can damage certain surfaces over time.

Page 5

ENGLISH

If you have any questions regarding the placement or installation of your hot tub, consult your authorized Sundance Dealer.

4.0 General Electrical Safety Instructions

Your new Sundance hot tub is equipped with the "state-of-the-art" SentryTM equipment system. It contains the most advanced safety and self-protective equipment in the industry. Nonetheless, this hot tub must be installed properly to insure dependable usage. Please contact your local government authority should you have any questions regarding your installation. In the event they are unable to answer your questions, direct your inquiries to Sundance Spas. Please refer to the rear cover of this manual for our address and telephone number.

Proper grounding is extremely important. Sundance hot tubs are equipped with a current collector system. A pressure wire connector located on the surface of the control box, located inside the equipment door (Figure B, page 7) to permit connection of a bonding wire between this point and any ground metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit within 1.5m of the hot tub, or copper clad grounding rod buried within 1.5m of the hot tub. Bonding wire must be at least 10mm2 solid copper wire. This is a most important safety assurance feature.
