Hot Tub Fill Up Procedure

For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding with that
step. Make sure all drains are closed prior to filling spa, page 13.
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.) Consult your dealer for additional
information prior to filling hot tub.
• Remove filter lid (Sections 9.1-9.22, pages 21-42), then remove
filter cartridge from filter bucket as illustrated in Section 13.1.
2. Fill Hot Tub
• Place the end of your garden hose into the empty filter fitting.
CAUTION: TO DECREASE BUILD UP ON COMPONENTS AND
MINIMIZE ACRYLIC DAMAGE.
Never fill with water from a water softener. If your water is extremely
"hard," it is preferable to fill half-way with hard water and the rest of
the way with softened water. Water that is too soft can be corrosive
to metal components.
!
WARNING:
•
DISEASE.
Fill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose, to reduce risk of
contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus)
and/or respiratory ailments. Fill until water covers all jets but does not
touch the bottom of the lowest headrest. (DO NOT OVERFILL!)
IMPORTANT: Always fill your hot tub through the filter fitting after
draining. Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in either
pump(s), preventing the pump(s) from circulating water. Remove the
hose and replace the filter cartridge as illustrated in Section 13.1.
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to hot tub at the home's circuit breaker to start boot
up sequence. The heater and filter/circulation pump will automatically
activate.
4. Activate Jets Pumps
Turn on all jet(s) pumps and blower to ensure proper
mixing when adding start up chemical in step 5.
5. Add Start-Up Chemicals
Add the hot tub water chemicals as recommended by your Sundance
Spas dealer. See Section titled "Water Quality Maintenance" (page
76) for general guidance.
