3. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available
to remove any remaining water from the footwell.
4. Remove the equipment-side cabinet panels and locate the drain
plugs in the front of each pump (Figures A and B, page 12). Remove
these plugs to allow the water to drain out of the pumps and heater.
Note: Approximately 1 to 2 gallons will be released during this
procedure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from
flooding the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.
5. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of heater (Figures A and B, page 12)
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.
6. Re-install cabinet side panels and cover hot tub so that no moisture
can enter into it. Consult your Sundance Spas dealer if you have any
questions regarding winter use or winterizing.
13.8 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.
14.0 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 formula, and there is no avoiding it. 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.
CAUTION: Never store hot tub chemicals inside the hot
tub’s equipment bay.
