1. Turn off power to the spa.

2. Follow the directions on page 35 for draining the spa.

3. Turn the massage/diverter selector(s) into the middle combo position

to allow the water in the plumbing lines to drain, see page 27.

4. Turn the waterfall valve to the open position to allow the water in the

plumbing lines to drain, see page 23.

5. Open all the air controls and leave them open until you resume use

of the spa, page 27.

6. 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, such as a wet/dry vacuum.

7. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available

to remove any remaining water from the footwell, such as a wet/dry

vacuum.

8. Remove the equipment-side cabinet panel and locate the drain plugs

in the front of the pump(s) (Figure A, page 15). 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 pump drain plugs.

9. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of CLEARRAY® system and pull hose

off of CLEARRAY fitting (twist the hose back and forth while pulling

downward). Tip hose down and allow to drain, then reinstall hose

and clamp. Remove the cover of the CLEARRAY system to access

the UV bulb and quartz tube. Remove and store the UV bulb in a

safe location. Remove and dry off the quartz tube then reinstall it.

Depending on the length of time, consider replacing the UV bulb

when you resume use of your hot tub.

10. Re-install cabinet side panels and cover spa so that no casual

moisture can enter into it.

Consult your authorized Sundance dealer if you have any questions

regarding winter use or winterizing.
