Important Hot Tub Owner Information Your Sweetwater 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including: 1) WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times. 2) WARNING: A grounding wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum No. 8AWG (8.
8) WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury: a) The water in a hot tub 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 hot tub use exceeds 10 minutes.
c) At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on the external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box/compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the hot tub to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG.

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 hot tub. The Consumer Products Safety Commission has stated that the water temperature in a hot tub should not exceed 104˚F (40˚C). Immersion in water in excess of 104˚F (40˚C) can be hazardous to your health. Observe a reasonable time limit when using the hot tub.
Locating Your Sweetwater Hot Tub Bali Model Only Bali models to be connected to 120 VAC electrical service must be located no more than 10 feet (3m) from a grounded, grounding type electrical outlet so that the power cord included can be plugged directly into it. *DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD as this could cause damage to the hot tub’s equipment due to insufficient voltage.
run-off water will shorten the life expectancy of the hot tub cover. * Power cord is not available for Canada - the hot tub must be hard wired. 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. If you have any questions regarding the placement or installation of your hot tub consult your authorized Sweetwater Dealer .

Start Up Instructions FOR BEST RESULTS, READ EACH STEP IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THAT STEP. 1. PREPARE THE HOT TUB FOR FILLING • Clear all debris from the hot tub. (Although the hot tub shell has been polished at the factory, you may want to treat it with a specially formulated hot tub cleaner and wax available from your dealer prior to filling the first time.) • Remove the filter. 2.
6. SET HOT TUB TO HEAT (Default Set Temp is 100˚F (38˚C) To warm the hot tub water up to a comfortable temperature, follow these steps: • The LED display on the control panel displays the actual temperature of the hot tub water. Press either the COOLER (Down) or WARMER (Up) button 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 while the “set” temperature is displayed.

NOTE: Auto Shut-off -- Anytime a pump has been manually turned on, it will automatically turn off after approximately 20 minutes. If at this time you desire more jet operation, you may simply turn them back on. You will notice that occasionally, when you touch the button to turn off the high speed of the pump, the low speed continues to operate. This is normal if the hot tub is in the “Standard” mode and calling for heat, if a filter cycle is in progress or if the heater has recently turned off.
To change the filter cycles, press and hold the“WARMER” button and “COOLER” buttons for 3 seconds. This will get you into the filter cycle programming mode. Use the “WARMER” and “COOLER” buttons to scroll between F1 and L2. This numeric value coincides with a specific filter cycle that is to be used for filtration. Filter Cycles STANDARD MODE Heating is automatically controlled by the loss of water temperature. If the hot tub water drops 2˚F (1.
CLEANING THE FILTER Your Sweetwater hot tub is equipped with a cartridge filter located in the skimmer/filter well. Filtering is accomplished when the 2-speed pump 1, on either high or low speed, causes water to flow through the polyester mesh of the filter. As this happens, suspended particles become trapped on the filter’s surface. To ensure optimum performance, it is necessary to remove and clean the filter cartridge, usually once a week, depending on usage and water quality.
DRAINING AND REFILLING CAUTION: There are certain precautions to keep in mind when draining your hot tub. If it is extremely cold, and the hot tub is outdoors, freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment. On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not leave the hot tub’s surface exposed to direct sunlight for long periods. To drain your Sweetwater hot tub, pull out the external drain cap attached to the drain hose (see Illustration 1).
MAINTAINING THE COVER Using the insulating hot tub cover anytime the hot tub is not in use will significantly reduce your operating costs, heatup time and maintenance 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 quality vinyl conditioner will help protect 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.
8. Reinstall the wood side panels and cover the hot tub so that no casual moisture can enter the hot tub. Disconnect garden hose and replace drain cap. Consult your Authorized Sundance Dealer if you have any questions regarding winter use or winterizing. RESTARTING YOUR HOT TUB IN COLD WEATHER If you want to start up your hot tub 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.
SANITIZING To destroy bacteria and organic compounds in the hot tub water, a sanitizer must be used regularly. A residual sanitizer level of 1 to 3 ppm (parts per million) is generally considered desirable. Bromine tablets, a two-part bromine system or granular chlorine (dichlor) are all acceptable sanitizers. IMPORTANT: Do not use chlorine tablets (trichlor) in your hot tub. This chemical can have an extremely corrosive effect on certain materials in the hot tub.
SN2 Nonfunctional temperature sensor Open or short in temperature sensor. Heater is deactivated. This must be repaired by the dealer or qualified service technician. FL1 Water flow problem Pressure switch is not closed when the pump is activated. Heater is deactivated. Proper flow of water is inhibited or pressure switch has malfunctioned. Check for proper water level, pump is primed and/or clogged filter. Contact dealer or qualified service technician.
PUMP DOES NOT OPERATE BUT LIGHT DOES OPERATE. Depress "Jets" sensor. 1. If no sound is detected or if a "buzzing" sound is detected, turn off power to the hot tub and contact your dealer or service center. 2. If motor operates but no water flows to jets: a. Pump may not be properly primed. See instructions on the next page. b. Contact dealer or authorized service center. Pump Priming Instructions: Turn Hot Tub Off! Remove filter and insert end of garden hose into filter pipe.
