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. Remove the equipment-side cabinet panels and locate the drain
plugs in the front of each pump (Figures A-B page 10). 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
flooding the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.
5. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of heater (Figures A-B, page 10) and
pull hose off of heater fitting (twist the hose back and forth while
pulling downward). Tip hose down and allow to drain, then reinstall
hose and clamp.
6. Re-install cabinet side panels and cover hot tub so that no casual
moisture can enter into it.
Consult your Sundance Dealer if you have any questions regarding
winter use or winterizing.

12.8 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 sec-
tions of the piping may still be frozen. This situation will block water flow
preventing the hot tub from operating properly and possibly damaging
the equipment. We recommend you consult your dealer for guidance
before attempting to restart your hot tub under these conditions.

13.0 Water Quality Maintenance

Maintaining the quality of the water within specified limits will serve to
enhance your enjoyment and prolong the life of the hot tub'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. Procrastination in regard to
water maintenance will result in poor and potentially unhealthful condi-
tions for soaking and even damage to your hot tub investment. For spe-
cific guidance on maintaining water quality, consult your Authorized
Sundance Dealer who can recommend appropriate chemical products
for sanitizing and maintaining your hot tub.
