to activate the air blower. This will evacuate the water from the air
injector lines. (Note: Stand back to avoid the misty spray.)
5. Turn off power to the hot tub.
6. Remove the equipment-side cabinet panels and locate the drain plugs
in the front of the pump(s) (Figure-A, Page 10). 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 proce-
dure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from flooding
the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.
7. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of heater (Figure-A, Page 10) and pull
hose off of heater fitting (twist the hose back and forth while pulling
downward). Tip hose down and allow to drain, then reinstall hose and
clamp.
8. Re-install cabinet side panels and cover hot tub so that no casual mois-
ture can enter into it.
Consult your Authorized Sundance Dealer if you have any questions regard-
ing winter use or winterizing.
11.9 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 prevent-
ing the hot tub from operating properly and possibly damaging the equip-
ment. We recommend you consult your dealer for guidance before attempt-
ing to re-start your hot tub under these conditions.
12.0 Water Quality Maintenance
Maintaining the quality of the water within specified limits will serve to
enhance your enjoyment and prolong the life of the hot tub's equipment. It
is a fairly simple task, but it requires regular attention because the water
chemistry involved is a balance of several factors. There is no simple formu-
la, and there is no avoiding it. A careless attitude in regard to water mainte-
nance 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 Dealer who
can recommend appropriate chemical products for sanitizing and maintain-
ing your hot tub.
CAUTION: Never store hot tub chemicals inside the hot tub's equipment bay.
