Attention New Spa Owner!

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Sundance® 780 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 (see sec. 9.0, page 23). In Certa/Chelsee/
Hamilton 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 hot tub’s water chemistry within the following

parameters as dened 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

Always maintain your spa lter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water.

Refer to page 29-30 for additional information.

Required Filter Maintenance

Your new hot tub is equipped with an advanced 2-stage MicroClean™ water

ltration system that provides unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum
water quality at all times, you should clean and reuse the larger pleated lter
cartridge every month and replace (throw away) the smaller MicroClean lter
cartridge every 3 months, or earlier as necessary. The smaller MicroClean lter
cartridge is designed to be thrown away! Attempts to reuse this lter cartridge

may result in the re-release of unwanted particles back into the spa. See page

29-30 for detailed lter cartridge 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 page 36 for additional information.

3. DANGER: Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be

exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid

accidents, ensure that children cannot use this spa unless they are
supervised at all times.

4. DANGER: Risk of Injury. The suction ttings in this spa are sized to

match the specic water ow created by the pump. Should the need
arise to replace the suction ttings or the pump, be sure that the ow
rates are compatible. Never operate the spa if the suction ttings are
broken or missing. Never replace a suction tting with one rated less
than the ow rate marked on the original suction tting.

5. DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from
all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be installed within
5 feet (1.5m) of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently
connected (bonded) by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid cop­per conductor attached to the wire connector on the grounding lug,
inside the equipment compartment on the equipment box.

6. DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical
appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The disconnect must be

Page 2

readily accessible and visible to the spa occupant but installed at
least 5 feet (1.5m) from the spa water.

8. WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury:

9. The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water
temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are consid­ered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recom­mended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.

10. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for caus­ing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant
or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures
to 100°F (38°C). If pregnant, please consult your physician before
using a spa.

11. Before entering the spa, the user should measure the water tem­perature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water

temperature-regulating devices may vary as much as +/- 5°F (2°C).

12. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use
may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.

13. Persons suffering from obesity or a medical history of heart disease,

low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, diabetes,

infectious diseases or immune deciency syndromes should consult
a physician before using a spa. If you experience breathing difcul-

ties in association with using or operating your spa, discontinue use
and consult your physician.

14. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using

a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness, while other
medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

15. Always shower before and after using your spa. To reduce the pos­sibility of contracting a waterborne illness, always maintain water
chemistry within the parameters listed on the inside cover of this
manual. If you or other bathers experience such a condition, discon-

tinue use and seek medical attention.

Page 4

WARNING: Water temperature in excess of 38 °C (104 °F) may be
injurious to your health.

WARNING: Before entering the spa, measure the water temperature
with an accurate thermometer.

WARNING: Do not use a spa immediately following strenuous exercise.

WARNING: Prolonged immersion in a spa may be injurious to your

health.

WARNING: Do not permit electric appliances (such as light, telephone,
radio, television, etc.) within 5 feet (1.5m) of this spa unless factory
installed.

CAUTION: Maintain water chemistry in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions.

WARNING: The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of
fatal hyperthermia in spas.

3.2 Hyperthermia

Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. A descrip­tion of the causes, symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia are as

follows:

Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches
a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F
(37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy,
and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of

hyperthermia include:

A Unawareness of impending hazard;
B. Failure to perceive heat;
C. Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;
D. Physical inability to exit spa;
E. Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
F. Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.

Page 5

3.3 Cautions

1. Persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood

pressure, and any condition requiring medical treatment, pregnant
women, the elderly, or infants should consult with a physician before
using a spa.

2. The Consumer Products Safety Commission/USA has stated that

the water temperature in a spa should not exceed 104°F (40°C).

Immersion in water in excess of 104°F (40°C) can be hazardous to

your health.

3. Observe a reasonable time limit when using the spa. Long expo­sures at higher temperatures can cause high body temperature.

Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and

reduced awareness. These effects could possibly result in drowning.

4. Do not use the spa under the inuence of alcohol, narcotics, or other
drugs. Use of the spa under these conditions may lead to serious

consequences.

5. Always test the spa water temperature before entering the spa.
Enter and exit the spa slowly. Wet surfaces can be very slippery.

6. Never bring any electrical appliances into or near the spa. Never
operate any electrical appliances from inside the spa or when you
are wet unless such appliances are built-in by the manufacturer.

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.

3.4 General Electrical Safety Instructions

Your new Sundance® 780 Series Spa is equipped with a "state-of­the-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 14) to permit connection of a bonding wire between
this point and any ground metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit

Page 6

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
(8.4mm2) solid copper wire. This is a most important safety assurance
feature.

Before installing your spa, check with your local building department to
ensure installation conforms to local building codes.

120/240 Volt Metro Convertible Model

A spa connected to a 120VAC electrical service must be located close

enough to a grounded, grounding-type electrical outlet so that the
included 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 insufcient 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 (10cm). 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, overow 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 doors.

Page 7

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.

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 specifically tied into the main struc­tural support, you should consult a professional Structural Engineer
with experience in this type of application.

• PROPER DRAINAGE: It is extremely important to have in place
measures to sufficiently handle excessive water spillage. Be sure
the flooring 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 flooring 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

Page 8

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 exposure to viruses and bacteria that could be present
in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect or building

contractor to determine your specic needs if installing your

spa indoors.

5.0 Power Requirements

Sundance® spas are designed to provide optimum performance and

exibility of use when connected to the maximum electrical service listed

in the tables listed on page 10-11. If you prefer, your qualified techni-

cian can perform a minor circuit board modication to allow your spa to

accept an electrical service other than the factory setting. Turn page for
details.

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 dealer for additional infor-

mation prior to lling spa.

• Remove lter lid (page 22), then remove lter cartridge from lter

bucket as illustrated in section 11.1 (page 29).

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 soft-

ened water. Or, you may ll entirely with hard water if

you use a special water additive available from your
Sundance dealer.

• Fill spa with clean tap water from garden hose until water covers all
jets but does not 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 as illustrated in section 11.1 (page

29).

Page 15

3. Turn On Power

121

2

Turn on power to spa at the home’s circuit breaker to start boot up

sequence (sec. 9.0, page 23). The heater and lter/circulation 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 Sundance

dealer. See section titled “WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE” (page

36) 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” (sec. 11.8, page 34) 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
(Down) or WARMER (Up) 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 16

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 2-pump Certa/Chelsee/Hamilton models 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.

• 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:

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 of Sodium Dichlor for every 100 gallons of water.
Refer to the table (page 18) for approximate water ll volume by
model.

Risk of injury! Always check water temperature

Page 17

CAUTION: Never add Chlorine tablets (Trichlor) to your
spa for any reason! This chemical may damage components
within your spa and void the manufacturer warranty.

Water Fill Volume by Model

Camden ..................................... 250 US Gallons (946 Liters)

Certa .......................................... 385 US Gallons (1,457 Liters)

Chelsee ..................................... 365 US Gallons (1,382 Liters)

Hamilton .................................... 400 US Gallons (1,514 Liters)

Metro ......................................... 190 US Gallons (719 Liters)

10. Leave spa cover open during this step to allow

excessive chemical vapors to exit spa, protecting
pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack. If spa
is indoors, open doors and windows for proper ventila­tion. Turn on all spa jets pumps for one hour, open all
air controls, and place all massage selector knob(s) in their center

“combo” position as shown (right). Note: You will need to press the
jets pump button(s) every 20 minutes since these functions have an
automatic 20 minute time-out function that turns them off.

CAUTION: Never leave your spa unattended for any reason
while the cover is open and accessible to small children and
animals!

11. Turn off power to the spa at the circuit breaker, then drain spa as

outlined in section 11.2 (page 31).

12. Rell spa with clean tap water from garden hose until water covers

all jets but does not touch the bottom of the lowest headrest (DO

NOT OVERFILL!)

Page 18

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 Sundance dealer.

13. Consult your authorized Sundance dealer for chemical recommenda-

tions, then add chemicals to spa water to achieve a constant sani-

tizer reading within the levels recommended by the Association of
Pool And Spa Professionals/USA printed on the inside cover of this

manual.

14. Turn on all jet pumps when adding chemicals to ensure proper mix-

ing and leave your spa cover open until the sanitizer level falls below

4.0 ppm to protect pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack.

CAUTION: Never leave your spa unattended for any reason
while the cover is open and accessible to small children and
animals!

CAUTION: To prevent the unlikely possibility of contracting a
waterborne
parameters. If you or other bathers experience such a
condition, discontinue use and seek medical attention

illness, maintain water chemistry within step 6

.

15. Establish a sanitizer reading between 3.0-4.0 ppm Chlorine or 2.0-

4.0 ppm Bromine, then allow the spa to set undisturbed for 8 hours.

Retest water after 8 hours to determine if sanitizer levels are stable.
If sanitizer levels are stable, your spa is ready for use. 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 are not stable at this time, it will be necessary to
repeat this procedure in its entirety (steps 1-15) until stable sanitizer

readings are achieved.

The spa control system has automatic functions that
operate upon startup and normal operation to protect

the system. Upon power up, the readout displays the
following information:

1. Control panel displays current software release

(e.g. 3.56), then;

2. Control panel displays “888” and all indicator LEDs are

lit, permitting visual inspection of all display segments
and indicator lights for proper operation.

3. After the initial start-up sequence ends, the actual water temperature
is displayed. If water temperature at this time is less then the factory
default temperature setting of 100 °F (38 °C) and the spa is set to
ltration/heating mode “F0”, “F1”, “F2” or “F3” (page 28), the heater
will turn on and run until the water temperature rises to the factory

setting, then turn off. Note: it is common for the heater to turn on
after the spa is rst lled because tap water is often very cold.

4. Approximately two minutes after power is applied to the spa, the rst
ltration/heating cycle turns on pump 1. In Certa/Chelsee/Hamilton
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.

9.1 Setting Water Temperature

The spa’s thermostat provides optimum control of water
temperature. The temperature setpoint (set temperature)
can be adjusted from 65-104 °F (18-40 °C). To raise the set
temperature, press the WARMER ( ) button. To lower the
set temperature, press the COOLER ( ) button. Note: The rst press

of either WARMER ( ) for COOLER ( ) button displays the set
temperature.

9.2 Activate

Jets Pumps

The JETS 1 button activates the functions of the main

2-speed jets pump. The rst press activates pump 1 in

low speed, the second press activates high speed, and the
third press shuts the pump off. For 2-pump models, the
JETS 2 button controls jets pump 2 which only operates in
high speed. Both pumps have a twenty minute default when manually

activated.

Your Sundance spa is equipped to allow you to customize
the massage action you desire. Each model incorporates a

massage selector that allows you to customize the massage

and performance by diverting water between various jet
systems. Simply turn massage selector to position A

(Combo), B, or C to divert water pressure to various jet groups. Note:

The massage selector is designed to operate in positions A (Combo), B,
and C for optimum performance. It is considered normal for sound levels
within the valve to vary between positions due to the large amounts of

water owing through it! For optimum ltration benets, leave the valve

in position A when spa is covered. Select position B or C for maximum
jet performance during spa use.

9.4 Air Controls

Certain jet systems have their own air control. Each

control introduces air into the water lines that supply specic

jet groups. Simply rotate any air control knob clockwise to
open, or counterclockwise to close. Note: To minimize heat loss, close

all air controls when spa is not in use. Certain jets may not draw air
while the jets pump is running in low speed; this is considered normal.

9.10 Optional Audio System (Certa/Chelsee/Hamilton Only)

Spas equipped with the optional audio system offer
enhanced spa enjoyment. These models include a
high-quality AM/FM/CD stereo receiver with four

sound quality and long-life, a hard wired remote

control and an MP3 adapter cable. Refer to section

21.0 (page 48) for complete stereo operation details.

Page 26

10.0 Automatic Filtration Cycles

Your new spa includes a 24-hour circulation pump which lters the water

continuously while using less energy than a common 100 watt light bulb!
The circulation pump draws water through the short side of the double-

ended lter cartridge and effectively removes small debris in your spa.

Note: the 24-hour circulation pump system also supplies heated water
to the spa when the heater turns on. This features cannot be altered or
disabled.

The control system activates a programmable “standard” or “economy”
ltration/heating cycle to remove larger debris missed by the 24-hour
circulation pump ltration system. These cycles utilize pump #1 and the
larger lter cartridge end to quickly clear “skim” the water of large debris
and minimize their “bath-tub ring” effect. Apart from their ltration ben­et, each mode also effects the operation of your spa’s heater. Refer to

sections 10.1 and 10.2 below for additional information.

10.1 Standard Filtration/Heating Modes (F0 - F3)

Standard ltration/heating modes are typically selected by customers in

cold climates where heat up times are extended due to lower ambient
temperatures. In 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 lter and clean your spa.

10.2 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 ambi-

ent temperatures. In these modes, the water temperature is regulated
by the set temperature, 24-hour circulation pump, and heater only

while a programmed lter cycle is running (unless in summer logic; see

section 13.1, page 37). Note: these modes consume less energy than
standard modes F0-F3 outlined in section 10.1.

10.3 Lock Modes (L1 - L2)

These modes are designed for use during spa service or to prevent

unauthorized use.

Page 27

10.4 Selecting The Filtration/Heating Mode

Press and hold both control panel WARMER ( ) and COOLER ( )
buttons at the same time, then release. Then press either WARMER
( ) or COOLER ( ) button to select ltration/heating mode F0-F6 or
lock modes L1-L2 outlined below.

Standard Filtration/Heating Modes
F0 5 minutes of ltration per day (one 5 minute “Blow-Out”

cycle every 24 hours to purge all plumbing lines)

F1 1 hour of ltration per day (one 30-minute cycle every 12

hours); this is the factory default setting.

F2 1.5 hours of ltration per day (one 30-minute cycle every

8 hours)

F3 2 hours of ltration per day (one 30-minute cycle every 6

hours)

Economy Filtration/Heating Modes
F4 1 hour of ltration/heating per day (one 30-minute cycle

every twelve hours)

F5 1.5 hours of ltration/heating per day (one 30-minute

cycle every eight hours)

F6 2 hours of ltration/heating per day (one 30-minute cycle

every six hours)

Lock Modes
L1 Lock Out (disables all spa functions to permit lter

cleaning)

L2 Lock Mode (disables the jets and light buttons to prevent

unauthorized use of spa.) Filtration/heating cycle will con­tinue to operate as programmed in this mode. The tem-

perature display ashes when this function is enabled. Example:
the “F3” ltration/heating cycle was enabled prior to choosing lock
mode. The spa continues to perform the “F3” cycle until lock mode

is canceled, allowing another cycle to be selected.

To set a time for the rst ltration/heating cycle, simply turn power on to
the spa two minutes prior to the desired time. EXAMPLE: If you desire
your rst ltration/heating cycle to begin at 10:00 AM turn off power to
the spa and turn it back on again at 9:58 AM. Note: start time is approx-

imate and may vary slightly from day to day.

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.

11.1 Cleaning The Filter

Your new spa is equipped with an exclusive MicroClean™ 2-stage lter

cartridge located under the lter lid. Fine debris are ltered 24-hours
by the circulation pump drawing water through the ultra-ne (stage 2)
cartridge. Larger debris are ltered by the main 2-speed pump drawing

water through the (stage 1) polyester mesh (pleated) cartridge during

normal operation and during each ltration/heating cycle. Combined,
both lter halves work together to give you unsurpassed water quality

by trapping suspended particles on their outer surface. Note: To ensure

optimum performance, clean and reuse the stage 1 cartridge once a
month and replace the stage 2 cartridge every 3 months, or as needed.

All models include lters on their footwell suction covers (shown
right) that prevent debris from entering pump 2 and the massage

selector(s), when operating. These lters must remain in place
to protect these components from debris entrapment/damage.

They should be cleaned every 2 months, or when weak pump 2
performance is observed.

ALWAYS TURN POWER TO SPA OFF BEFORE CLEANING THE
FILTER CARTRIDGE! Refer to the lter cleaning/replacement

procedure below:

Periodically, the polyester mesh (pleated) lter will need a more thor­ough cleaning to remove imbedded oils and minerals. For this, we
suggest cleaning as illustrated above (step D), followed by soaking the

lter overnight in a plastic container lled with a solution of water and a
specially formulated lter cleanser available from your Sundance dealer.

CAUTION! Never scrub the polyester mesh lter cartridge

with a brush as this will cause the polyester mesh to wear
out and come apart. Never let the spa pump run or have

a lter cycle come on without a lter cartridge in the skim­mer compartment. Running the spa without a lter cartridge

may permit debris to enter the spa plumbing and void the
warranty!

approximately two years with proper care and water quality main­tenance. The smaller stage 2 lter cannot be cleaned and must be
replaced (thrown-out) every 3-months, or as needed. DO NOT reuse
this cartridge! Attempts to reuse this cartridge will reintroduce debris
back into your spa! Replacement cartridges may be purchased from
your Sundance 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 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.

CAUTION! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING:

Draining Procedures:

1. Turn off power to spa at breaker.

2. Locate the 3” gray drain valve cap on side of the
spa cabinet. Unscrew drain valve cap to expose the
underlying male garden hose tting (g. G-I).

3. Attach female garden hose end to drain tting and

route opposite end of garden hose away from spa

(g. H).

instructions.

11.3 Pillow Care

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 4.0 ppm. Note: Metro pillows vary in appearance,
not shown.

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 relled.

11.5 Rotating Jet Cleaning Procedure

If you experience a sticky rota­tional jet, perform the following
cleaning procedure. In most of
these cases debris is present in
the jet bearings and must be
cleared to achieve proper opera­tion. Note: This procedure is

considered normal maintenance
for this type of jet.

Procedure

1. Remove jet internal from spa

wall tting by placing your hand around the outer jet adjustment ring

and rotating it counterclockwise (g. 1). Rotate jet adjustment ring
until it stops at position (A). Use additional force at position (A) to
continue rotation until you feel a “click” at position (B); then feel the

internal release at position (C). It may seem like your are over torqu­ing the jet internal between positions (A-B), however, additional force
is necessary at position (A) to unlatch its retaining mechanism from

the wall tting.

2. Fill a clean bucket with tap water and immerse jet internal. Rotate

submersed jet internal’s nozzle in a circular motion while moving it

back and forth allowing water to ow through both ends of the jet.

This motion allows slow moving water to wash back through the jet
bearing and dislodge any debris that might be lodged in the bearing.
Clean each jet internal for approximately 1 to 2 minutes twice a year,
or when a particular jets rotation appears sluggish, jerky, or

obstructed.

3. Reinstall jet internal by inserting it in any jet opening of the same jet
type. Rotate the jet internal clockwise with light pressure until your

feel the retaining mechanism “snap” in place. The jet’s nozzle should

Page 33

rotate freely to the left or right using only ngertip pressure. If jet

rotation appears sluggish or obstructed at this time, repeat steps 2-3
until condition clears. If condition persists, contact dealer for technical
support.

11.6 Maintaining the Cover

Using the Sundance insulating spa cover anytime the spa is not in use
will signicantly reduce your operating costs, heat-up time and mainte-

nance 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 pro-

tect against deterioration caused by UV rays from the sun. Never allow

anyone to stand or sit on the cover, and avoid dragging it across rough
surfaces.

11.7 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.

11.8 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 (page 28). 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 freez-

ing. For expert winterization of your spa, contact your authorized
Sundance dealer. In emergency situations, damage can be minimized

by taking the following steps:

Page 34

1. Follow the directions on page 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 panels and locate the drain
plugs in the front of the pump(s) (Figure-A, page 13). 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 drain plugs.

6. Loosen the hose clamp on the circulation pump intake behind the

control box (Figure-A, page 13) and pull the hose off (twist hose

back and forth while pulling outward). Tip hose down and allow to
drain, then reinstall hose and clamp.

7. Re-install cabinet side panels and cover spa so that no casual mois-

ture can enter into it.

Consult your authorized Sundance dealer if you have any questions
regarding winter use or winterizing.

11.9 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 dealer for guidance before
attempting to re-start your spa under these conditions.

Page 35

12.0 Water Quality Maintenance

Maintaining the quality of the water within specied 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 for

soaking and even damage to your spa. For specic guidance on main­taining water quality, consult your authorized Sundance dealer who can
recommend appropriate chemical products for sanitizing and maintain-

ing your spa.

CAUTION: Never store spa chemicals inside the spa's
equiment 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. 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.

Page 36

12.3 Optional CD Ozone Water Maintenance System

If you have elected to have your spa equipped with the optional CD

Ozone water purication system you will nd that your water stays fresh
and clear with signicantly less chemical sanitizer usage. You will also

probably be able to go longer between complete spa drainings. The CD

ozone unit operates in conjunction with the circulation pump.

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.

13.0 Error Conditions / Error Messages

13.1 Summer Logic

When the actual spa water temperature reaches up to 2°F

(1 °C) above the set temperature, the spa goes into “sum­mer logic.” The circulation pump will turn off automati-

cally 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.

Page 37

13.2 Overheat Condition WARNING! DO NOT ENTER SPA WATER! Water is too hot.

Overheat protection. Heater is deactivated. Spa water tem­perature is above acceptable limits. When the actual water

temperature is approximately 2 °F (1 °C) above the set tem­perature, the circulation pump will stop operating to reduce (frictional)
heating. To correct condition, remove spa cover to speed cooling
(CAUTION! Never leave spa uncovered when children are present!)

If condition persists, contact your authorized Sundance dealer.

There are a number of unique functions designed into yo ur spa to

protect it from damage and/or aid in troubleshooting. Refer to sections

13.3-13.8 below for a listing of all possible error messages and their
meanings.

14.0 Troubleshooting Procedures

In the event your Sundance spa is not working the way it should, please

rst review all the installation and operating instructions in this manual

and check the message on the panel display. If you are still not satis-

ed it is working properly, please follow the appropriate troubleshooting

instructions. Note: If any of the supply cords to the accessories are
damaged, they must be replaced by authorized service personnel.

14.1 None of the Components Operate (e.g. Pump, Light)

Check the following:

1. Is there power to the spa?

2. Is the household circuit breaker tripped?

3. Call your authorized dealer.

14.2 Pump Does Not Operate but Light Does

Press the JETS Button:

1. If no water movement is detected, make sure power is going to the
spa and check the water level. If it does not solve the problem, con-

tact your authorized Sundance dealer.

2. The main pump operates but no water ows to jets. Pump may not

be properly primed. This can happen after the spa is drained and

relled. Press the JETS 1 button several times, never leaving the

motor on for more than 5 to 10 seconds at a time. Turn power off
and let the air out by loosening the cap on the massage selector

and/or removing the lter. Refer to section 8.3 (page 22). Make cer-
tain you tighten the massage selector cap and/or reinstall the lter

before turning on spa power and restarting the pump.

14.3 Poor Jet Action

1. Press the JETS 1 button to make certain the pump #1 is on.

2. Rotate the air control clockwise to the “on” position.

3. Check for dirty lter. Clean, if necessary.

4. Make sure jets are all the way open.

14.4 Water is Too Hot

Reduce thermostat setting so the heater turns off.

Page 40

14.5 No Heat

1. Check thermostat setting.

2. Keep the spa cover in place while heating.

3. Check the settings to see if your spa is in economy ltration/heating

mode (page 27-28).

25. Reading MP3 les from a disc: When a disc containing MP3 data
is loaded, the unit checks all the data on the disc. If the disc contains
numerous folders with many levels, it takes a longer time to start
playback. In addition, it may take time for the unit to move to the

next MP3 le and the fast forward function may not be performed
smoothly. When selected to play, les and folders are accessed in

order in which they were written by the CD writer. Therefore, the
playing order may not be the same as the order in which they are
expected. For example, a disc with the following folder/le hierarchy

is subject to folder select, le select and play back order as illustrated
on page 55.
