8.0 Hot Tub Fill Up Procedure
FOR BEST RESULTS, READ EACH STEP IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE
PROCEEDING WITH THAT STEP.
1. Prepare The Hot Tub For Filling
• Clear all debris from the hot tub. (Although the hot tub shell
has been polished at the factory, you may want to treat it with
a specially formulated hot tub cleaner.) Consult your dealer for
additional information prior to filling hot tub.
• Remove filter lid (Figure F-H, pages 23-25), then remove filter
cartridge from filter bucket as illustrated in Section 13.1.
2. Fill Hot Tub
• Place the end of your garden hose into the empty filter bucket.
CAUTION: Never fill with water from a water softener.
If your water is extremely “hard”, it is preferable to fill
half-way with hard water and the rest of the way with
softened water. Or, you may fill entirely with hard water
if you use a special water additive available from your
Sundance Spas dealer.
• Fill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose until water
covers all jets but does not touch the bottom of the lowest
headrest (DO NOT OVERFILL!).
IMPORTANT: Always fill your hot tub through the filter
bucket after draining. Failure to do so may cause air to
be trapped in either pump, preventing the pump from
circulating water. Remove the hose and replace the filter
cartridge as illustrated in Section 13.1 (pages 43).
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to hot tub at the home’s circuit breaker to start boot
up sequence. The heater and filter/circulation pump will automatically
activate. If the control panel LCD flashes water temperature and
“COOL” or “ICE”, this is normal. Refer to page 50 for additional
information.
