1 1.7 Maintaining The Cover

Using the Sundance insulating hot tub cover anytime the hot tub is not in use
will significantly reduce your operating costs, heat-up 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 special con-
ditioner developed for Sundance hot tub covers will help protect against dete-
rioration caused by U.V. rays from the sun. Never allow anyone to stand or sit
on the cover, and avoid dragging it across rough surfaces.

1 1.8 Winterizing

Your Sundance hot tub is designed to automatically protect itself against freez-
ing when operating properly. During periods of severe freezing temperatures,
you should check periodically to be certain that the electrical supply to the
hot tub has not been interrupted. In extreme, bitter cold weather (less than
-29°C) reset the skimming/heating cycle for 24-hour operation to protect the
hot tub. If you do not intend to use your hot tub, or if there is a prolonged
power outage during periods of severe freezing temperatures, it is important
that all water be removed from the hot tub and equipment to protect against
damage from freezing.
For expert winterization of your hot tub, contact your authorized
Sundance Dealer. In emergency situations, damage can be minimized by
taking the following steps:
CAUTION: Turn off power to hot tub.
1.
Follow the directions on page 30 for draining the hot tub.
2. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means
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. Turn the power to the hot tub back on briefly and press the AIR
button to activate the air blower. This will evacuate the water from the
air injector lines. (Note: Stand back to avoid the misty spray.)
5. Turn off power to the hot tub.
6. Remove the equipment-side cabinet panels and locate the drain plugs
in the front of the pump(s) (Figure-A, Page 6). 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 proce-
dure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from flooding
