Sundance Spas 880 - Manual (Page 19)

• Fill the hot tub until the water level is midway in the filter bucket skim-
mer opening and above all jets. 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 hose and replace filter cartridge as illustrated in section 11.1,
page 28-29 (Figure-G).
C. Turn On Power
Turn on power to hot tub at the home’s circuit breaker. The heater and
circulation pump will automatically activate. If the control panel LCD
flashes water temperature and “COOL” or “ICE”, pump 1 will also activate.
If this occurs, refer to page 35-36 for additional information.
D. Activate Jets and Blower
Depress the JETS 1 and BLOWER sensor pads on the
control panel once to activate pump #1 and blower,
initiating water flow.
E. Add Start-Up Chemicals
Add the hot tub water chemicals as recommended by your Sundance
Dealer. (See section titled WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE (page 34) for
general guidance.) Note: make sure equipment is running before adding
chemicals of any type (see step D).
F. Set Hot Tub to Heat
The hot tub can heat in either STANDARD or ECONOMY mode. The
tub’s built-in temperature sensor will activate the heater automatically when
necessary to maintain the water temperature within a range of ±1°C of the
set temperature. The time required for initial heat-up will vary depending
on the temperature of the water used to fill the hot tub, the size of your
hot tub, and the ambient temperature. The water temperature will rise
approximately 2 to 3 °C per hour in larger tubs, and approximately 4 to 5
°C per hour in smaller tubs.
G. Choosing “Standard” or “Economy” Mode
Press the MODE button to select either “Standard” or “Economy”
operating modes. The control panel’s right-side LCD display indicator
changes to indicate which mode is selected. By selecting the
appropriate operating mode, you can ensure that the spa will be ready
to use when you want it with the lowest possible energy consumption.
