ELITE SERIES

Periodically, the polyester mesh (pleated) filter will need a more thorough

cleaning to remove imbedded oils and minerals. For this, we suggest

cleaning as illustrated above (step D), followed by soaking the filter

overnight in a plastic container filled with a solution of water and a

specially formulated filter cleanser available from your Sundance dealer.

CAUTION: RISK OF PROdUCT dAMAGE!

Never scrub the polyester mesh filter cartridge with a brush as

this will cause the polyester mesh to wear out and come apart.

Never let the spa pump run or have a filter cycle come on with-

out a filter cartridge in the skimmer compartment. Running the

spa without a filter cartridge may permit debris to enter the spa

plumbing and void the warranty!

The average life expectancy of the polyester mesh filter cartridge is

approximately two years with proper care and water quality maintenance.

The smaller stage 2 filter cannot be cleaned and must be replaced

(thrown-out) every 3 months, or as needed. DO NOT reuse this cartridge!

Attempts to reuse this cartridge will reintroduce debris back into your

spa! Replacement cartridges may be purchased from your Sundance

dealer.

11.2 draining And Refilling

About every 3 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water. The

frequency depends on a number of variables including the amount of use

and attention paid to water quality maintenance. You will know it is time

for a change when you cannot control sudsing and/or you can no longer

get the normal feel or sparkle to the water even though the key water

balance measurements are all within the proper parameters.

CAUTION! REAd THIS bEFORE dRAINING: To prevent

damage to the spa’s components, turn off power to the spa

at the circuit breaker before draining it. Do not turn the power

back on until your spa has been refilled. There are certain

precautions to keep in mind when draining your spa. If it is

extremely cold, and the spa is outdoors, freezing could occur

in the lines or the equipment (see “Winterizing”, Section 11.7

page 40). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not

leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight for long

periods.
