tub!

The

following is a list of automated functions performed by your hot tub. These

functions are listed below in an attempt to suppress any operational

concerns you may have during the first 24 hours of ownership! Also listed

below are important maintenance recommendations you should observe

on a regular basis to protect your new investment.

Maintain Healthy Spa Water Always maintain your hot tub's water chemistry within the following
parameters:

With CLEARRAY®

Without CLEARRAY®

7.4-7.6

Free chlorine

no less than 1.0 ppm 3.0-4.0 ppm

Free Bromine

no less than 2.0 ppm 2.0-4.0 ppm

Total Alkalinity

100-150 ppm

Calcium Hardness 150-250 ppm

150-250 ppm

IMPORTANT: CLEARRAY® Water Purification System is factory installed. If the CLEARRAY® system is altered or is not operating efficiently follow the "without CLEARRAY®" water chemistry parameters. Such parameters are defined by the Association of Pool and Spa
Professionals. CLEARRAY® requires an annual lamp replacement to properly sanitize your water.

! TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE! Always maintain your spa filter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water. Refer to pages 68-70 for additional information.

Required Filter Maintenance Your new hot tub is equipped with an advanced MicroClean® Ultra water filtration system that provides unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum water quality at all times, you should replace the filter cartridge every six months, or earlier as necessary. The filter cartridge is designed to be thrown away! Attempts to reuse the filter cartridge may result in the re-release of unwanted particles back into the hot tub. See pages 68-70 for detailed filter cartridge replacement instructions.

Required Water Replacement
! TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE! You should replace the hot tub's water every 3 to 6 months. The frequency depends on a number of variables including frequency of use, number of users, 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. See pages 75-77 for additional information.

880 Series
3.3 Important Additional Safety Instructions When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr, Ground,
Grounding or the symbol* is located inside the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors that supply this equipment (*IEC Publication 417, Symbol 5019). 3. At least two lugs marked "Bonding Lugs" are provided on the external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box/compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the spa to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG (10 mm²). 4. All field installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other similar hardware within 10 feet (3m) of the spa shall be bonded to the equipment grounding buss with copper conductors not smaller than No. 6 AWG (10 mm²). 5. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
4.0 Locating Your Sundance Hot Tub
IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water and users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the spa rests be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight, without shifting or settling, for the entire time the spa is in place. If the spa is placed on a surface which does not meet these requirements, damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell may result. Damage caused by improper support is not covered under warranty. It is the responsibility of the spa owner to assure the integrity of the support over time. We recommend a poured, reinforced concrete slab with a minimum thickness of 4 inches (10 cm). Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is constructed so that it meets the requirements outlined above.
WARNING: For spas that are to rest on balconies,
! roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into main structural support, consult a professional Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
8

880 Series
The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away from it. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper drainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood the equipment and create a wet condition in which it would sit in. For spas which will be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to permit access to the equipment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of all side cabinet panels and access to components, especially on the side with the equipment bay doors.

CAUTION: If the spa is indoors or located in an enclosed area, proper ventilation should be discussed with an Engineer or authority

competent enough to understand the necessary provisions needed

to vent moist or heated air and air associated with chemical odors

outdoors. When the spa is in use considerable amounts of

moisture will escape potentially causing mold and mildew. This

can cause health risk. Over time, this can damage certain surfaces,

surroundings, and equipment.

4.1 Outdoor Location In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your hot tub, we suggest that you take into consideration the following: · The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in regions
subject to cold weather). · The pathway to and from your hot tub (this should be free of debris
so that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the hot tub). · The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and
birds could create extra work in keeping the hot tub clean). · A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result
in lowered operation and maintenance costs). · The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not
to place the hot tub under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water will shorten the life expectancy of the hot tub cover. · For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into main structural support, consult a professional Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application. · In the unlikely event that you should ever need to access or gain entry to any portion of the spa for servicing, it is highly recommended that you plan your outdoor installation to provide full access to the entire spa. Please take this into consideration when placing the spa in a deck or enclosed by a surrounding. · Consider locating your spa away from any reflective surface or glass
to prevent any damage to the synthetic skirt. · Do not shim the spa. To ensure proper support the spa must sit flat
on the intended foundation.

880 Series
4.2 Indoor Location For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before installing a spa indoors:
WARNING: In addition to maintenance of filters and water
! chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments that could be present in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect or building contractor to determine your specific needs if installing your hot tub indoors.
· PROPER FOUNDATION: Consult a Structural Engineer when considering a foundation that will adequately support the spa the entire time it is in place. Proper support is critical especially if the spa is to rest on a second story or higher. For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into the main structural support, you should consult a professional Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
· PROPER DRAINAGE: It is extremely important to have in place measures to sufficiently handle excessive water spillage. Be sure the flooring in which the spa rests on has adequate drainage and can handle draining of the entire contents of the spa. Be sure to make provisions for ceilings or any other structures that may be below the spas installation. Areas around your spa can become wet or moist so all flooring and subsequent furniture, walls and adjacent structures should be able to withstand or resist water and moisture.
· PROPER VENTILATION: Proper ventilation should be discussed with an Engineer or authority competent enough to understand the necessary provisions needed to vent moist or heated air and air associated with chemical odors outdoors. When the spa is in use considerable amounts of moisture will escape potentially causing mold and mildew, over time this can damage certain surfaces and or surroundings.
· SUFFICIENT ACCESS: In the unlikely event that you should ever need to access or gain entry to any portion of the spa for servicing, it is highly recommended that you plan your indoor installation to provide full access to the entire spa.
· WARRANTY: Damage caused by not following these guidelines or any improper installation not in accordance with local codes or authorities is not covered under the spas warranty. Please consult your local state or city building ordinances.
· DO NOT SHIM THE SPA. To ensure proper support the spa must sit flat on the intended foundation.

7.0 Power Requirements Sundance® hot tubs are designed to provide optimum performance and flexibility of use when connected to their maximum electrical service. However, they are shipped factory configured for their most common preferred electrical connection. If you prefer, a qualified technician can perform a minor circuit board modification that allows the hot tub to operate on a different electrical service.

8.0 Hot Tub Fill Up Procedure For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding with that step. Make sure all drains are closed prior to filling spa, page 13.
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 (Sections 9.1-9.22, pages 21-42), 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 fitting.
CAUTION: TO DECREASE BUILD UP ON COMPONENTS AND MINIMIZE ACRYLIC DAMAGE. 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. Water that is too soft can be corrosive to metal components.
· ! WARNING: TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR
DISEASE. Fill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose, to reduce risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments. Fill 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 fitting after draining. Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in either pump(s), preventing the pump(s) from circulating water. Remove the hose and replace the filter cartridge as illustrated in Section 13.1.
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.
4. Activate Jets Pumps Turn on all jet(s) pumps and blower to ensure proper mixing when adding start up chemical in step 5.
5. Add Start-Up Chemicals Add the hot tub water chemicals as recommended by your Sundance Spas dealer. See Section titled "Water Quality Maintenance" (page 75) for general guidance.
16

880 Series
WARNING: RISK OF POISONING OR DEATH.
! Never leave chemicals opened and accessible to anyone. Use chemicals according to the vendors instructions. Always store chemicals in a safe and/or locked location. Keep away from and out of reach of children.
6. Establish A Stable Sanitizer Reading Establish a stable sanitizer reading no less than 1.0 ppm free chlorine or 2.0 ppm bromine. To ensure healthy water conditions, always maintain a constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended on the inside cover of this manual. If sanitizer levels cannot be stabilized, perform the decontamination procedure steps 9-15 on the following page.
Note: The "decontamination procedure" steps 9-15 should also be used after the hot tub has been "Winterized" (Section 13.8) or has been sitting without power for an extended period.
7. Set Hot Tub To Heat To warm hot tub water to a comfortable temperature, follow these steps:
· The LCD display on the control panel displays the actual temperature of the hot tub water. Press either the COOLER ( ) or WARMER ( ) button once to display the "set" temperature for 5 seconds. If you want the water to heat to a different temperature, simply press COOLER or WARMER within 5 seconds. The set temperature increases or decreases by 1°F (0.5°C) each time either button is pressed.
· The heater will turn off when the temperature corresponding to the thermostat setting is achieved.
Important Heater Details: · The maximum temperature for which the hot tub can be set is
104°F (40°C) and the minimum is 65°F (18.33°C). · For hot tubs powered with a 40 amp service, turn off jets pump #1
and jets pump #2 to operate heater. · Setting the thermostat at maximum will not accelerate the heating
process. This will only result in a higher ultimate temperature. · The heater operates until the water reaches the programmed "set
temperature," then turns off. The heater will reactivate after the water cools to approximately 2°F (1°C) below the "set temperature."
8. Place Cover On Hot Tub · Keeping the insulating cover in place anytime the hot tub is not in
use will reduce the time required for heating, thereby minimizing operating costs. · The time required for initial heat-up will vary depending on the starting water temperature.

880 Series

DANGER: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
! Check water temperature carefully before entering hot tub! Excessive water temperature can cause burns, welts and body temperature to rise, hyperthermia (over-heating).

Decontamination Procedure (Steps 9-15) Steps 9-15 below are only required when sanitizer levels are unstable after performing steps 1-6 above. Disregard steps 9-15 below if sanitizer levels remain stable after performing steps 1-6 above (refer to the inside
cover of the manual).

9. Add 2.5 ounces (71 g.) of sodium dichlor for every 100 gallons (378 L.) of water. Refer to the table (below) for approximate water fill
capacity by model.

CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR SPA DAMAGE!
! Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for any reason! These chemicals may damage components within your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash, and void the manufacturer warranty for your spa.

*Use average fill volume for chemical maintenance

10. Leave hot tub cover open during this step to allow excessive chemical vapors to exit hot tub, protecting pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack. If hot tub is indoors, open doors and windows for proper ventilation. Turn on all hot tub jets pumps for one hour, open all air controls, turn on the blower, and place all massage selector knob(s)
in their center "combo" position as shown (right). Note: You will need to press the jets pump button(s) and blower button every 20 minutes since these functions have an automatic 20 minute time-out function that turns them off.

880 Series
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY!
! · To decrease the risk of injury, drowning or entrapment, never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while the cover is open and accessible, especially to small children and animals! · Precautions should be taken to minimize your exposure to chemical vapors (that could cause lung, brain, or skin damage).
11. Turn off power to the hot tub at the circuit breaker, then drain tub as outlined in Section 13.3 (page 71).
12. Refill 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!)
CAUTION: TO DECREASE BUILD UP ON COMPONENTS AND MINIMIZE ACRYLIC DAMAGE. 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. Water that is too soft can be corrosive to metal components.
13. Consult your authorized Sundance Spas dealer for chemical recommendations, then add chemicals to hot tub water to achieve a constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended on the inside cover of this manual.
14. Turn on all jet pumps and the blower when adding chemicals to ensure proper mixing and leave your hot tub cover open until the sanitizer level becomes stable to protect pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack. Refer to the inside cover of the manual.
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
! · To decrease the risk of injury, entrapment or drowning, never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason, especially if while the cover is open and accessible to small children and animals! · To decrease the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments, maintain water chemistry within 6 step parameters. If you or other bathers experience such a condition, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.
19

880 Series
15. Establish a sanitizer reading no less than 1.0 ppm free chlorine or 2.0 ppm bromine, then allow the hot tub to set undisturbed for 8 hours. Retest water after 8 hours to determine if sanitizer levels are stable. If sanitizer levels are stable, your hot tub is ready for use. To ensure healthy water conditions, always maintain a constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended on the inside cover of this manual. If sanitizer levels are not stable at this time, it will be necessary to repeat this procedure in its entirety (steps 1-15) until stable sanitizer readings are achieved.
IMPORTANT: If the CLEARRAY® water purification system is removed from the hot tub or is not operating efficiently follow the "without CLEARRAY®" water chemistry parameters. Such parameters are defined by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals. 16. After adequate sanitizer levels are achieved, close all spa air controls
by rotating them counterclockwise to maximize heat retention when spa is not in use.

11.7 Selecting The Desired Massage Action

Your Sundance® Spas hot tub is equipped to allow

you to customize the massage action you desire. Each

model incorporates a massage selector(s) that allows you to customize

the massage and performance by diverting water between various jet

systems. Simply turn massage selector to position A (Combo), B, or C to

divert water pressure to various jet groups.

Note: This valve is designed to operate in positions A (Combo), B, and

C for optimum performance. It is considered normal for sound levels

within the valve to vary between positions due to the large amounts of

water flowing through it. For optimum filtration benefits, leave the valve

in position A when hot tub is covered. Select position B or C for maxi-

mum jet performance during hot tub use.

880 Series

11.8 Adjusting Fluidix Reflex, Nex, ST, Intelli-Jets And Focus-

Relief

The jets in your new hot tub offer the advantage of no

moving parts and zero maintenance. They can also be adjustAB
ed for a high and low impact massage, providing the ultimate

massage! To adjust jets:

1. Fluidix Nex/Intelli-Jets and Reflex Jets only: Turn outer Fluidix Intelli-Jet dial (A) clockwise to increase water volume. Turn outer

dial counterclockwise to decrease water volume or to shut

jet off.

2. Fluidix Intelli-Jet only: Rotate center "mode disk" (B)

clockwise to select a non-oscillating water stream or turn Fluidix Reflex Jet counterclockwise to select an oscillating stream at any

angle.

3. For a high impact massage, turn corresponding air control

knob clockwise. For the Fluidix ST jet, this will create

a straight water flow. For low impact massage, turn

corresponding air control knob counterclockwise. For the

Fluidix ST jet, this will create an oscillating flow. Refer to Sections 9.1-9.22 (pages 21-42) for specific

Fluidix ST Jet

operation details. The included tool (shown) allows you to

position the jet nozzle angle to your liking. This tool can

also be used to aid in the opening or closing of the nozzle

on Fluidix Reflex jets.

Focus-Relief Jet

4. Focus-Relief Jets: Work with both the blower and jets pump. The

blower introduces air to the jet and the jets pump forces water through.

Note: Always keep at least 6 adjustable jets open at all times on each

jet system.

11.9 Air Controls Each jet system has its own air control. These controls allow you to regulate the amount of air which is mixed with the water entering through the jets. Clockwise rotation adds more air and counterclockwise rotation reduces air flow. Note: To minimize heat loss, close all air controls when spa is not in use. Certain jets may draw air even though they are closed. This is considered normal.

11.10 Waterfall Control Turn waterfall control valve counterclockwise to increase waterfall(s) output. Turn control valve clockwise to decrease or turn off waterfall(s) output. The waterfall is on when the circulation pump is running. Note: It takes 2 full revolutions to change the waterfall from a full off to a full on flow rate. When the waterfall is in the OFF position some water
may still flow through. This is considered normal.

880 Series
11.11 Fragrance Dispenser On the rim of your hot tub is a screw-off cap labeled "SunScentsTM Fragrance Dispenser" (pages 21-42). It is designed to contain packages of a specially made fragrance available from your Sundance Spas dealer. The fragrance is carried into the hot tub water by the air coming through the injector system when the air blower is on.

WARNING: TO DECREASE RISK OF PERSONAL IN-
JURY.

· Always turn off the air blower before removing or installing

SunScents dispenser cap to reduce the risk of by having the

dispenser and/or cap fly up.

· Use only Sundance SunScents fragrances in your new hot tub,

as the tub has not been tested for use with any other manufac-

turer. Never use this dispenser for any other type of fragrance.

· Never remove the SunScents beads from their plastic cage for

any reason! This can cause damage to the spa equipment and

plumbing lines.

· The beads can also be ingested creating a chocking or

poisoning hazard. Keep away from children.

· Install bead cage directly into SunScents dispenser.

· Always make certain that the dispenser cap is securely in

place before operating the hot tub's air blower, to avoid

the cap from flying off when the blower is activated.

11.12 Indicator Light The indicator light located on the front cabinet panel of the hot tub is an early detection system that will notify you when the hot tub needs immediate attention. A solid white light indicates that all operations are normal. A solid red light indicates that immediate attention is required to clear or fix an error code. For a detailed explanation refer to Section 15.0, page 81.

11.13 Optional Exterior Light The optional exterior lights are located on the corners of the cabinet panels. They provide a colorful luminance around the hot tub. These lights are activated any time the interior lights are being used and will follow the color pattern.
11.14 MicroClean® Plus Versatile Filter Lid (Marin and Cambria models only)
The multi-purpose filter lid can be used as cooler or as a seat (with the optional aftermarket seat cushion). The filter lid has a drain located at the bottom to allow for drainage into the hot tub.
IMPORTANT! If liquids (other than water) spill, take all pre-
! cautions to prevent contaminants from entering and affecting
the hot tub water.

880 Series
11.15 Optional SmartTubTM System (60Hz models only) Advances in technology have allowed us to create a better and smarter hot tub. Our SmartTubTM system operates on a cellular network. The advantages of this system are:

· A more stable connection to internet for outdoor environment. The SmartTubTM device uses much less data than a typical voice connection via cellular networks. We contract through the largest wireless carriers to ensure maximum uptime. The system enables firmware updates via the cell connection so your system's performance will continuously be optimized remotely.
· Maintenance is made easy by alerts sent to your phone. · Diagnostic alerts are sent to you and your dealer when attention is
required.

A. Pairing process 1. Download the SmartTubTM app from the Google Play store or Apple
App store. 2. Open the app and create an account. 3. Locate the SmartTubTM sticker next the control panel of the hot tub. You
can either scan the QR code with the SmartTubTM app or manually input the serial number located below the QR code on the sticker. 4. After you pair the hot tub's serial number to the SmartTubTM app, the app will load and connect the hot tub to the internet. 5. Follow the instructions on the app to begin enjoying the benefits of your internet connected hot tub. Note: The first year of data service is included. You will need to renew the subscription after the first year. Please refer to the terms of service and privacy policy links in the SmartTubTM app for additional information.

During a primary filtration, the circulation pump, CLEARRAY and ozone unit (if applicable) are activated. The factory default cycle starts at 12:00
AM and last for 8 hours. If you elect to keep this setting, then you can
skip this section.

In extreme bitter cold weather, where freezing can occur, we recommend you program the circulation pump to run 24 hours. Refer to the "Winterizing" section on page 74.

Any time the circulation pump runs outside of a program cycle, e.g. for heating, that run time will be deducted from the next primary filter cycle. For example, the primary filter cycle is set to 8 hours every 24 hours but the circulation pump comes on for 2 hours to heat the water after the cycle has finished. The next primary filter cycle will only be for 6 hours not 8 hours.

Summer Logic: In warm weather, the water temperature in the spa may exceed the set temperature. This condition may occur due to heat transference from the filter/circulation pump and jets pumps. If the water temperature is higher than 95°F (35°C) and rises 2°F above the set temperature, a "Summer Logic" condition occurs that deactivates the filter/circulation pump and CLEARRAY®. This safety feature cannot be altered! The filter/circulation pump and CLEARRAY® will remain off until the water temperature cools to the set temperature (except between 9am-11am when the filter/circulation pump runs for it's mandatory 2 hour cycle.) To help prevent a "Summer Logic" condition, it may be necessary to reduce filter/circulation pump cycles run times in warm weather.

13.0 Hot Tub Maintenance Proper and regular maintenance of your hot tub will help it retain its beauty and performance. Your authorized Sundance Spas dealer can supply you with all the information, supplies, and accessory products you will need to accomplish this.

! DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING
BY ENTRAPMENT! · Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away
from suction fittings, rotating jets or other moving components to avoid entrapment that could lead to drowning or severe injury. · Never use the spa unless all suction guards, filter, filter lid, or skimmer assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair entrapment. · Never operate or use the spa if the filter, filter lid, or skimmer assembly are broken or any part of the skimmer assembly is missing. Please contact your dealer or nearest service center for service. · The suction fittings and suction covers in this spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump(s). If it is necessary to replace the suction fittings, suction covers or pump(s), be sure that the flow rates are compatible and are in compliance with the VGB Safety Act, page 2. · Never replace a suction fitting or suction cover with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting. Using improper suction fittings or suction covers can create a body or hair suction entrapment hazard that may lead to drowning or severe injury. · Owners must alert all spa users to the potential risk of Hair, Limb, Body, Evisceration (disembowelment), and Mechanical Entrapment, page 6.

Your Sundance hot tub is equipped with a two-stage MicroClean Ultra filter cartridge assembly under the filter lid (Sections 9.1-9.22 pages 21-42). Debris is filtered by the filter/circulation pump drawing water through the filter assembly 8 hours a day, 7 days a week (unless programmed otherwise). To ensure optimum performance, clean the outer pleated filter and center insert monthly. Then replace the center insert every 6 months, or as needed thereafter.

All models include a suction cover filter (#6540-213) located directly under the MicroClean Ultra filter cartridge assembly that prevents debris from entering the hot tub plumbing when jets pump 1 is running. This filter should be cleaned every 2 months.

Filter Removal Instructions: Loosen filter nut to provide clearance,
then remove MicroClean Ultra Filter
Assembly from spa.

Monthly Filter Cleaning Procedure We recommend cleaning the outer pleated filter (1) with a high

pressure water nozzle and the filter insert (2) with a low-pressure

water nozzle monthly. Periodically, the outer pleated filter cartridge

(1) will require a more thorough cleaning to remove embedded oils

and minerals by using special spa filter cleaners offered by your spa

dealer. Always remove the center filter insert (2) before cleaning the

outer filter (1) with chemicals. Never use filter cleaners of any kind

on the filter insert (2) or it may be damaged, come apart or allow

impurities to re-enter the water, increasing the risk of contracting

a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or

respiratory ailments.

880 Series
Procedure: 1. Grasp center filter insert end cap (2) in hand and pull outward from
pleated cartridge (1). If filter insert (2) is 6 months old, throw it away and purchase new one. DO NOT install new insert at this time.

2. Rinse debris from all outer filter (1) pleats using a garden hose

and high-pressure nozzle. Repeat

process until all filter pleats are

clean. Then rinse debris from

inside of filter (1). If chemical

Top

cleaners are used, follow

manufacturers instructions.

Lightly rise filter insert (2) and place in clean location. *DO NOT use chemical cleaners or high-pressure nozzle on insert (2) or it may be damaged, come apart or allow impurities to re-enter the water, increasing the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments.

3. Install filter insert (2) into outer pleated filter (1) by gently sliding inward until a slight resistance is felt approximately 1/4" from bottom. Lightly tap insert end with palm of hand to "snap" in place. Insert is properly installed when end cap rests "flush" against outer filter end cap.

4. Install Filter assembly back into spa by performing step 2 in reverse order. Tighten filter nut so it just touches the filter face. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!

5. Turn power to spa back on.

Replacement filter cartridges may be purchased from your Sundance Spas dealer.

13.3 Draining And Refilling Every 3 months, you will need to replace the hot tub's water. The frequency depends on a number of variables including the amount of use, attention paid to water quality maintenance, etc. 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 decrease
! damage to the hot tub's components, turn off power to the hot tub at the circuit breaker before draining it. Do not turn the power back on until your hot tub has been refilled. There are certain precautions to keep in mind when draining your hot tub. If it is extremely cold, and the hot tub is outdoors, freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment (see "Winterizing," page 74). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not leave the hot tub's surface exposed to direct sunlight for long periods.

Draining Procedures:
1. Turn off power to hot tub at breaker. 2. Locate the 3" gray drain valve cap on side of the hot
tub cabinet. Unscrew drain valve cap to expose the underlying male garden hose fitting (Figures A-B). 3. Attach female garden hose end to drain fitting and route opposite end of garden hose away from hot tub (Figure B). 4. Pull outward on garden hose end at drain connection (approx. 3/8") to open drain valve and release water from hot tub (Figure C). Water drains at approximately 3 gallons per minute. 5. After hot tub has drained, close drain valve by pushing inward on garden hose end at drain connection until you feel it bottom out. Remove garden hose and install gray drain cap before refilling hot tub. Note: The gray drain cap cannot be installed until the drain valve is closed. Refer to "Hot Tub Fill Up Procedure" (page 16) for recommended filling instructions.

13.4 Cleaning The Hot Tub Interior To preserve the sheen of your hot tub's surface, it is crucial that you avoid using abrasive cleaners or cleaners which have adverse chemical effect on the surface. If you are not certain as to the suitability of a particular cleanser, consult your authorized Sundance Spas dealer. Regardless of the cleanser used, use extreme care to assure that no soap residue is left on the surface. This could cause severe sudsing when the hot tub is refilled.

13.5 Pillow Care Remove and clean the headrest pillows as needed with soapy water using a cloth or soft-bristle brush. Always remove the pillows when adding chemical shock treatment to the spa water. The pillows can be returned to the spa when the sanitizer reading is stable as recommended on the inside cover of the manual. Note: Actual pillow could vary from image shown.

880 Series

Place both hands on pillow with thumbs as shown.

Press inward with thumbs to curl pillow lip inward so you can grab it with fingertips.

Flex pillow lip inward 2-3" to get a good grip on the ends.

Gently pull outward on pillow to release mounting stud from receptacle on spa shell.

5 Wash pillow(s) in a mild detergent soap and warm water solution. Never machine wash your pillows or attempt to clean them with a cleaning agent!
6 To reinstall pillows: Simply align pillow over mounting stud receptacle, then gently push inward to snap in place.
13.6 Maintaining the Hot Tub Cabinet The hot tub cabinet require little or no maintenance of any kind. To clean, wipe cabinet with a clean towel and mild detergent soap solution.
CAUTION: Never spray cabinet with a high pressure garden hose for any reason since this action may induce an electrical short in the hot tub's electrical equipment.
13.7 Cover Care And Maintenance Certain hot tub covers distributed by Sundance Spas, Inc., have a vinyl or SUNSTRONGTM/SUNSTRONGTM Extreme encasement. This vinyl or SUNSTRONG/SUNSTRONG Extreme encasement also referred to as the cover "skin" is attractive and durable. Regular monthly cleaning and conditioning (vinyl) is strongly recommended and may increase the longevity of your cover.
A. To clean and condition the encasement (cover skin): 1. Use a garden hose to remove any debris. 2. Using a large sponge or soft bristle brush, use diluted or mild soap to
gently scrub the top. 3. Rinse and clean and do not allow soap to dry on the cover. Do not
use soap on the underside of the cover. 4. Please check with your Sundance® spa dealer for recommended
cover care and conditioning products. Use non-petroleum based conditioners to keep the vinyl supple. 5. Do not use any solvents, abrasive cleaners or strong detergents. Do not use products that contain silicone or alcohol.
B. Additional Care and Maintenance Instructions: 1. Debris can accumulate on the spa cover. Removal of snow or other
debris will help to avoid breakage of the foam cores. 2. Be sure to lock the cover straps to secure the cover from unwanted
or accidental entry. 3. Do not place heavy objects on the vinyl.
73

880 Series
4. Do not walk, sit or stand on the cover. 5. Do not drag or use the flaps/skirt or the cover lock straps to remove
the cover. 6. Use only recommended cover lift systems. 7. Use only chemicals and cleaners recommended by Sundance Spas. 8. Remember to keep spa covered when not in use. Maintaining proper
water levels assures efficient operation and efficient electrical usage. 9. Do not expose your spa to the sun for extended periods of time as UV
rays can damage the interior surface. 10. Use caution when removing cover. Before removing cover, assure all
locks have been released to avoid lock breakage and/or cover strap damage.
13.8 Winterizing Your Sundance hot tub is designed to automatically protect itself against freezing when operating properly. During periods of severe freezing temperatures, you should check periodically to be certain that the electrical supply to the hot tub has not been interrupted. In extreme bitter cold weather, less than 32°F (0°C), program the circulation pump to run for 24 hours to prevent freezing.
If you do not intend to use your hot tub, or if there is a prolonged power outage during periods of severe freezing temperatures, it is important that all water be removed from the hot tub and equipment to protect against damage from freezing.
Expert winterization of your spa is highly recommended, contact your authorized Sundance Spas dealer. In emergency situations, damage can be minimized by taking the following steps:
CAUTION: TURN OFF POWER TO HOT TUB!
1. Follow the directions (Section 13.3) for draining the hot tub. 2. Turn the massage/diverter selector(s) to the middle combo position to
allow the water in the plumbing lines to drain, page 52. 3. Turn the waterfall valve(s) to the open position to allow the water in the
plumbing lines to drain, page 53. 4. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means
necessary to get the water out of the recessed seating areas and into the footwell, such as a wet/dry vacuum. 5. Open all the air controls and leave them open until you resume use of the spa, page 53. 6. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available to remove any remaining water from the footwell, such as a wet/dry vacuum. 7. Remove the equipment-side cabinet panels and locate the drain plugs in the front of each pump (Figures A and B, pages 13-14). 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.

880 Series
8. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of heater (Figures A and B, pages 13-14) 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.
9. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of CLEARRAY® system and pull hose off of CLEARRAY fitting (twist the hose back and forth while pulling downward). Tip hose down and allow to drain, then reinstall hose and clamp. Remove the cover of the CLEARRAY system to access the UV bulb and quartz tube. Remove and store the UV bulb in a safe location. Remove and dry off the quartz tube then reinstall it. Depending on the length of time, consider replacing the UV bulb when you resume use of your hot tub.
10. 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.
13.9 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 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 To decrease the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments, maintain water quality within specified limits. This will enhance your enjoyment and prolong the life of the hot tub's equipment. Doing so requires regular attention because the water chemistry involved is a balance of several factors. 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.
WARNING: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN WATER QUALITY
! WILL: · Increase risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments. · Damage the equipment, components and spa shell, which are not covered under the hot tub's warranty.
75

880 Series
CAUTION: Never store hot tub chemicals inside the hot tub's equipment bay. The equipment bay may reach elevated temperatures, this is where high voltage electronic devices are located. This area is not intended for storage of any kind.
14.1 pH Control pH is a measure of relative acidity or alkalinity of water and is measured on a scale of 0 to 14. The midpoint of 7 is said to be neutral, above which is alkaline and below which is acidic. In hot tub water, it is very important to maintain a slightly alkaline condition of 7.4 to 7.6 pH. Problems become proportionately severe the further outside of this range the water gets. A low pH will be corrosive to metals in the hot tub equipment. A high pH will cause minerals to deposit on the interior surface (scaling). In addition, the ability of the sanitation agents to keep the hot tub clean is severely affected as the pH moves beyond the ideal range. That is why almost all hot tub water test kits contain a measure for pH as well as sanitizer.
14.2 Sanitizing To destroy bacteria and organic compounds in the hot tub water, a sanitizer must be used regularly. Your Sundance hot tub is equipped with the BrominatorTM, a special compartment built into the floating skimmer gate to hold the SunPurityTM mineral cartridge designed specifically for your hot tub or bromine tablets. By regulating the number of bromine tablets in the Brominator you can control the amount of bromine, which is actively working, in your hot tub water. A bromine residual of no less than 2.0 ppm is generally considered desirable. A two-part bromine system or granular chlorine (dichlor) are also acceptable sanitizers. When adding spa shock (chlorine or non-chlorine) or pH balancing chemicals, activate the jets pump(s) and leave the spa cover open for a minimum of 20 minutes. By doing this you will allow excess chemical vapors to exit the spa, protecting pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack.
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DROWNING
! OR ENTRAPMENT! Never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while the cover is open and accessible, especially to small children and animals!
CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR SPA DAMAGE! Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for any reason! These chemical may damage components within your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash, and void the manufacturer warranty for your spa.

functioning. The "Power On" (red color) indicating incoming

power and the "Lamp On" (green color) indicating the

120 - 230V

system is properly working

FIGURE 8

14.5 Other Additives

Many other additives are available for your hot tub. Some are necessary to

compensate for out-of-balance water, some aid in cosmetic water treatment

and others simply alter the feel or smell of the water. Your Authorized

Sundance Spas dealer can advise you on the use of these additives.

14.6 Handrail Maintenance The handrails in your Sundance hot tub are manufactured from a high quality 316 stainless steel alloy. Many people are familiar with the term "stainless steel" and are surprised to learn that it does indeed rust and corrode in the presence of chloride salts, free chlorine, or sulfide gasses. The bad news is the environments that produce these elements are ocean spray, salted highways, chemical treatments added to swimming pools and hot tubs, and ground water in numerous coastal areas. The good news is with proper care, your hot tub's handrails can maintain their original finish.

880 Series
If your stainless handrails shows signs of rusting you should: · Wash with fresh water (a good detergent won't hurt). · Clean with a good car chrome polish. · Wax with an automotive or fiberglass wax.
You should never: · Clean with chlorinated cleaners or scouring powders. · Use sand paper, "Scotch Brite," Brillo pads, or similar abrasive products. · Clean with muriatic or hydrochloric acids. Vinegar is ok, but it won't
do much to remove rust.

15.0 Troubleshooting - Display Messages There are a number of unique functions designed into your Sundance hot tub to protect it from damage and/or to aid in troubleshooting. The indicator light located on the front cabinet panel of the spa is an early detection system that will notify you when the spa needs immediate attention. A solid white light indicates that all operations are normal. A solid red light indicates that immediate attention is required to clear or fix an error code.
