1.0 Important Spa Owner 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 efficient operation, an uncovered spa surface directly exposed to sunlight and high temperatures for an extended period is subject to permanent damage. Damage caused by exposing the spa to this abuse is not covered by warranty.

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. 11.1 Cleaning The Filter Your Sundance spa is equipped with a skimmer basket and filter cartridge located in the skimmer/filter well.
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. 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 refilled. CAUTION: There are certain precautions to keep in mind when draining your spa.
11.3 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 refilled. 11.
11.6 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” filtration/heating mode to prevent freezing (page 23-24).
12.0 Water Quality Maintenance Maintaining the quality of the water within specified 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.
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.
