Hot Tub Fill Up Procedure - Sundance Spas Altamar Owner's Manual

8.0 Hot Tub Fill Up Procedure

FOR BEST RESULTS, READ EACH STEP IN ITS ENTIRETY BE-
FORE 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. Consult your dealer for ad-
ditional information prior to filling hot tub.
• Remove filter lid (Figure G-M, page 22-28), then remove filter
cartridge from filter bucket as illustrated in section 13.1 (pg. 54).
2. Fill Hot Tub
• Place the end of your garden hose into the empty filter bucket.
CAUTION: 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. Or, you may fill entirely with hard water if you use a
special water additive available from your Sundance
dealer.
• Fill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose 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
bucket after draining. Failure to do so may cause air to be
trapped in either pump, preventing the pump from circulat-
ing water. Remove the hose and replace the filter car-
tridge as illustrated in section 13.1 (page 54).
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 automatical-
ly activate. If the control panel LCD flashes water temperature and
"COOL" or "ICE", this is normal. Refer to page 61-62 for additional
information.
