Sundance Spas 880 - Manual (Page 2)

Attention New Hot Tub Owner!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Sundance
®
hot tub! The following
is a list of automated functions performed by your hot tub. These functions are
listed below in an attempt to suppress any operational concerns you may have
during the first 24-hours of ownership! Also listed below are important maintenance
recommendations you should observe on a regular basis to protect your new
investment.
Automated Spa Operations
Your new hot tub is equipped with an automated “blow-out” cycle that clears all
plumbing lines daily to promote maximum water sanitation. Each day at 12:00 PM
(noon), pump 2, pump 3 (Maxxus Models Only) and the blower will automatically
turn on for a period of one minute, then go off. Then pump 1 will turn on and run
for one minute to complete the blow-out cycle. Be aware, the factory programmed
blow-out cycle cannot be canceled or altered!
Maintain Healthy Spa Water
Always maintain your hot tub’s water chemistry within the following parameters as
defined by the Association of Pool And Spa Professionals:
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 filter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water. Refer
to pages 47-48 for additional information.
Required Filter Maintenance
Your new hot tub is equipped with an advanced MicroClean Ultra™
water filtration
system that provides unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum water quality
at all times, you should replace the filter cartridge every six months, or earlier as
necessary. The filter cartridge is designed to be thrown away! Attempts to reuse the
filter cartridge may result in the re-release of unwanted particles back into the hot
tub. See pages 42-43 for detailed filter cartridge replacement instructions.
Required Water Replacement
You should replace the hot tub’s water every 3 to 6 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 47-48 for additional information.
