1.0 Important Spa Owner Information Your new Sundance 780 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 acrylic 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.
3.0 Important Safety Instructions When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING THE SPA! 2. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times. 3. WARNING: A grounding wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.
B. 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. C. Before entering the spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperatureregulating devices may vary as much as +/- 5 °F (2 °C). D.
C. WARNING: People with infectious diseases should not use a spa. D. WARNING: To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa. E. WARNING: Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa to avoid unconsciousness and possible drowning. F. WARNING: Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a spa. G. WARNING: Water temperature in excess of 38 °C (104 °F) may be injurious to your health. H.
2. The Consumer Products Safety Commission 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.
120/240 Volt Lagunas 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 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 insufficient 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.
3. The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and birds could create extra work in keeping the spa clean). 4. A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result in lowered operation and maintenance costs). 5. 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.
5.0 Power Requirements Sundance spas are designed to provide optimum performance and flexibility of use when connected to the maximum electrical service listed in the tables below. If you prefer, your dealer can perform a minor circuit board modification to allow your spa to accept an electrical service other than the factory setting.

may fill entirely with hard water if you use a special water additive available from your Sundance dealer. Always refill with garden hose in filter compartment. This helps to purge trapped air from pump intakes. Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in either pump 1 or the circulation pump’s intake (air lock), preventing either pump from circulating water. After filling, make sure the filter is installed properly before applying power to the spa. Refer to section 11.

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.
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.
