Hot Tub Maintenance; Replacing The Filter Cartridge - Sundance Spas Altamar Owner's Manual

13.0 Hot Tub Maintenance

Proper and regular maintenance of your hot tub will
help it retain its beauty and performance. Your autho-
rized Sundance Dealer can supply you with all the
information, supplies, and accessory products you
will need to accomplish this. Your new hot tub is
equipped with an advanced MicroClean Plus filter
cartridge. This cartridges utilizes a dynamic flow
design that allows it to compress in the center to
form a hour-glass shape under normal operating conditions. Note: The
degree of filter compression will vary from hot tub to hot tub and is
normal for the filter cartridge to straighten out when power to the hot tub
is turned off.

13.1 Replacing The Filter Cartridge

A programmable "Change Filter" reminder icon flashes on the
control panel display after a specified number days to remind you
to inspect and/or replace the MicroClean Plus filter cartridge. This
reminder must be reset at each filter inspection/replacement interval.
Refer to section 12.7, (page 52) for additional information and program-
ming details.
Your Sundance hot tub is equipped a high-efficiency MicroClean Plus
filter cartridge under the filter lid (Figures G-M, page 22-28). Debris is
filtered by the filter/circulation pump drawing water through this cartridge
24-hours a day, 7 days a week (unless programmed otherwise.) To en-
sure optimum performance, replace this cartridge every 6 months or as
needed. This filter cannot be cleaned and reused and MUST be thrown
out after use.
All models include a suction cover filter (#6540-213) located
directly under the MicroClean Plus filter cartridge that prevents
debris from entering the hot tub plumbing when jets pump 1 is
running. This filter should be cleaned every 2 months. Refer to step
B below for cleaning instructions.
ALWAYS TURN POWER TO THE HOT TUB OFF BEFORE REPLAC-
ING THE MICROCLEAN PLUS FILTER CARTRIDGE! To accomplish
this, refer to the filter replacement procedure on the following page:
