Restarting Your Hot Tub in Cold Weather

If you want to start up your hot tub after it has sat empty for a time in
freezing temperatures, be aware that the water remaining in certain
sections of the piping may still be frozen. This situation will block
water flow preventing the hot tub from operating properly and possibly
damaging the equipment. We recommend you consult your dealer
for guidance before attempting to restart your hot tub under these
conditions.

Water Quality Maintenance

To decrease the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection,
bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments, maintain water quality
within specified limits. This will enhance your enjoyment and prolong
the life of the hot tub's equipment. Doing so requires regular attention
because the water chemistry involved is a balance of several factors.
Procrastination in regard to water maintenance will result in poor and
potentially unhealthful conditions for soaking and even damage to your
hot tub investment. For specific guidance on maintaining water quality,
consult your Authorized Sundance Spas dealer who can recommend
appropriate chemical products for sanitizing and maintaining your hot
tub.
