Cleaning The Hot Tub Interior - Sundance Spas Altamar Owner's Manual

CAUTION! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent
damage to the hot tub's components, turn off power to
the hot tub at the circuit breaker before draining it. Do not
turn the power back on until your hot tub has been refilled.
There are certain precautions to keep in mind when drain-
ing your hot tub. If it is extremely cold, and the hot tub is
outdoors, freezing could occur in the lines or the equip-
ment (see "WINTERIZING", page 58). On the other hand,
if it is hot outdoors, do not leave the hot tub's surface
exposed to direct sunlight for long periods.
Draining Procedures:
1. Turn off power to hot tub at breaker.
2. Locate the 3" gray drain valve cap on side of
the hot tub cabinet. Unscrew drain valve cap to
expose the underlying male garden hose fitting
(fig. A-B).
3. Attach female garden hose end to drain fitting
and route opposite end of garden hose away
from hot tub (fig. B).
4. Pull outward on garden hose end at drain
connection (approx. 3/8") to open drain valve
and release water from hot tub (fig. C). Water
drains at approximately 3 gallons per minute.
5. After hot tub has drained, close drain valve by
pushing inward on garden hose end at drain
connection until you feel it bottom out. Re-
move garden hose and install gray drain cap
before refilling hot tub. Note: the gray drain
cap cannot be installed until the drain valve is
closed. Refer to "Hot Tub Fill up Procedure"
(page 15) for recommended filling instructions.

13.3 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 chemi-
cal 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.
