1 1.4 Cleaning The Hot Tub Interior
To preserve the sheen of your hot tub's surface, it is crucial that you avoid
using abrasive cleaners or cleaners which have adverse chemical effect on
the surface. If you are not certain as to the suitability of a particular
cleanser, consult your authorized Sundance Dealer. Regardless of the
cleanser used, use extreme care to assure that no soap residue is left on the
surface. This could cause severe sudsing when the hot tub is refilled.
1 1.5 Pillow Care
Remove and clean the headrest pillows as needed with soapy water using a
cloth or soft-bristle brush. To maintain water resistance and luster, apply a
quality vinyl conditioner once a month. Always remove the pillows when
adding chemical shock treatment to the hot tub water. The pillows can be
returned to the hot tub when the sanitizer reading drops below 5 ppm.
IMPORTANT: Never attempt to remove the pillows by pulling on them!
The pillows utilize a bolt-on design that prohibits removal without tools.
To remove pillows:
1. Grasp center pillow insert (A) with finger
tips and gently pry outward from pillow
base (C).
2. Use a standard screwdriver to loosen
and remove mounting bolts (B) from
pillow base.
3. Assemble in reverse order after cleaning.
DO NOT overtighten pillow mounting
bolts!
1 1.6 Maintaining The Wood Cabinet
With time and exposure to the elements, the wood on your hot tub will
tend to loose its new appearance. Protecting or reviving the wood surfaces
is a fairly simple process. Light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper will help
smooth any roughness and regular applications of a penetrating wood
preservative will enhance and protect the richness of the wood. A specially
formulated wood stain available from your Sundance dealer is ideal for this.
NOTE: Do not apply varnish, shellac or other surface sealants
to the wood. These tend to react with the chemicals in the
wood and the UV rays of the sun, causing yellowing, flaking
and peeling.
