Fluidix Intelli-Jet Operation Details
The Fluidix Intelli-Jets in your new spa offer the advantage of no
moving parts and zero maintenance. They can also be adjusted for
a high and low impact massage, providing the ultimate massage!
Each jet has it’s own water volume and directional or oscillating flow
adjustment. The jet’s outer dial controls water volume (flow rate)
and it’s center “mode disk” selects either an oscillating or directional
flow massage.
Fluidix Intelli-Jet Adjustment
1. Turn outer dial (A) clockwise to increase water
volume. Turn outer dial counterclockwise to
decrease water volume or to shut jet off.
2. Rotate center “mode disk” (B) clockwise to
select a non-oscillating water stream or turn
counterclockwise to select an oscillating stream
at any angle.
3. For a high impact massage, turn corresponding
air control knob clockwise. For low impact
massage, turn corresponding air control knob
counterclockwise.
Note: Always keep at least 6 adjustable jets open at
all times on each jet system.

Programming The Change Filter Reminder Display
Your new spa may be equipped with a programmable
“Change Filter” reminder that appears on the control
panel display after a specified number of days. It is
designed to remind you to clean and/or replace your filter
cartridge(s) on a regular basis but does not affect spa operation in
any way. This reminder must be reset at each filter cleaning inter-
val. It offers a selectable range from 10-120 days or can be dis-
abled. We recommend an initial setting of 30 days, after which you
can easily determine whether you need to shorten or lengthen its
interval by visually inspecting your filter cartridge. Refer to section
11.1 in the supplied owner’s manual for filter cleaning
recommendations.

Aprogrammable “Change Filter” reminder flashes on the
control panel display after a specified number days to remind
you to inspect and/or replace the MicroClean II filter cartridge.
This reminder must be reset at each filter inspection/replace-
ment interval. Refer to page 2 of this addendum sheet for
additional information and programming details.
Your Sundance hot tub is equipped a high-efficiency MicroClean II filter car-
tridge under the filter lid. Debris is filtered by the circulation pump drawing
water through this cartridge 24-hours a day, 7 days a week (unless pro-
grammed otherwise.) To ensure optimum performance, replace this car-
tridge every 6 months or as needed. This filter cannot be cleaned and
reused and MUST be thrown out after use.
All spas also include filters on their footwell suction covers that
prevent debris from entering either jets pump system and related
massage selector valve when running. The suction filters must
remain in place to protect these components from debris entrap-
ment/damage and should be cleaned every 2 months, or when weak jets
pump performance is observed.
ALWAYS TURN POWER TO THE HOT TUB OFF BEFORE REPLACING
THE MICROCLEAN II FILTER CARTRIDGE! To accomplish this, refer to
the following filter replacement procedure:

Replacement MicroClean II filter cartridges may be purchased from your
Sundance dealer. An optional pleated filter cartridge is also available from
your Sundance dealer. This filter can be cleaned and reused for up to two
years but does not maintain the same water quality and clarity as the stan-
dard MicroClean II cartridge.
NOTE: nylon suction filters are installed on all footwell pump
intakes. These filters must be cleaned periodically to ensure
optimum jet performance. They are important since they protect
your new spa’s massage selectors and equipment from debris
entrapment damage while either jets pump is running.

1.0 Important Hot Tub Owner Information
Your Sundance hot tub is constructed to the highest standards and is capa-
ble of providing many years of trouble-free use. However, because heat
retentive materials are utilized to insulate the hot tub for efficient operation,
an uncovered hot tub surface directly exposed to sunlight and high tempera-
tures for an extended period is subject to permanent damage. Damage
caused by exposing the hot tub to this abuse is not covered by warranty.
We recommend that you always keep the hot tub full of water when it is
exposed to direct sunlight and that you keep the Sundance insulating cover
in place at all times when the hot tub is not in use. Read and carefully fol-
low the requirements for your hot tub’s support base found in section 3.0
titled, “Locating Your Sundance Hot Tub” (page 5.)
Sundance Spas constantly strives to offer the finest hot tubs available, there-
fore modifications and enhancements may be made which affect the speci-
fications, illustrations and/or instructions contained herein.

2.0 Important Safety Instructions
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING THE
HOT TUB!
2. DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Install at least 1.5m, from
all metal surfaces. A hot tub may be installed within 1.5m of metal sur-
faces, if in accordance with the country electrical code.
3. DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Do not permit any electri-
cal appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within
1.5m of a hot tub unless such appliances are built-in by the manufac-
turer.
4. CAUTION - The hot tub must be installed in such a manner as to pro-
vide drainage of the electrical equipment compartment.
5. CAUTION - This hot tub must be hard-wired to your household electri-
cal service box only. Do not use an extension cord or any other discon-
nectable power cord. The use of an extension cord or a disconnectable
power cord is highly dangerous and will void all manufacturer war-
ranties!
6. A terminal marked G, Gr, Ground, Grounding or with the
symbol is located inside the supply terminal box or compartment
(Figure-B, Page 7). To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect this ter-
minal or connector to the grounding terminal of your electrical service
or supply panel with a continuous green insulated copper wire equiva-
lent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no
smaller than 10mm2. In addition, a second wire connector is provided
for bonding to local ground points. To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, this connector should be bonded with a 10mm2copper wire to
any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal objects within 1.5m of
the hot tub.
7. The electrical supply for this product must include a suitably rated
switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to
comply with country electrical code.
Page 2
ENGLISH
8. Overflowing or Overfilling: Overfilling can cause the hot tub to siphon
out water through the air venturis. Overfilling problems are not covered
by the warranty.
9. Before entering a hot tub, the user should measure the water tempera-
ture with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of the water
temperature-regulating device may vary as much as ±3°C.
10.Always enter and exit the hot tub slowly and cautiously. Wet surfaces
will be slippery.
11. Do not use the hot tub while alone.
12 . WARNING - RISK OF CHILD DROWNING: Extreme caution must be
exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid acci-
dents, ensure that children cannot use the hot tub unless they are
supervised by an adult at all times.
13. DANGER - To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove any drain suction
gate or cover.
14 .Never use the weir gate for sitting or for resting your feet. It is
designed to float freely.
15 . The water in the hot tub should never exceed 40°C. Water tempera-
tures between 38°C and 40°C are considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceed-
ing 10 - 15 minutes) and for young children.
16. Since excessive water temperatures have potential for causing fetal
damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly
pregnant women should limit hot tub or spa water temperatures to a
maximum of 38°C.
17. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during hot tub use
may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
18.Persons suffering from obesity or with with a medical history of heart
disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or dia-
betes should consult a physician before using a hot tub.
Page 3
ENGLISH
19 .Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a hot
tub since some medications may induce drowsiness while other med-
ications may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
20. Long exposures in the hot tub may result in nausea, dizziness or faint-
ing. Observe a reasonable time limit, leave the hot tub, then shower,
cool down, and if you wish, return for another brief stay.
21. Excessive temperatures may cause hyperthermia. The symptoms and
first aid information are as follows:
A. Heat Stroke: The most susceptible people are the very young and
elderly, alcoholics and most people under the
influence of drugs, medication and alcohol.
B. Symptoms: Hyperthermia causes loss of salt, sweating, dizziness,
headache, dryness of mouth and nausea, faintness
and/or unconsciousness, convulsions, flushed
appearance of skin, and rapid pulse and/or weak,
shallow breathing.
C. Treatment: Place the victim on his back, head slightly elevated.
Apply wet cloths or ice packs to the head, wrap the
body in a sheet, pouring on a small amount of water.
Follow with a cool shower or bath. Get medical
attention as soon as possible.
22. It is recommended that the following emergency telephone numbers be
listed at the nearest telephone: physician, hospital, ambulance, and
police.
23. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

3.0 Locating Your Sundance Hot Tub
IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the hot tub, water and
users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the hot tub rests be
smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight, without
shifting or settling, for the entire time the hot tub is in place. If the hot tub is
placed on a surface which does not meet these requirements, damage to the
skirt and/or the hot tub shell may result. Damage caused by improper sup-
port is not covered under the factory warranty. It is the responsibility of the
hot tub owner to assure the integrity of the support at all times.
We recommend a poured, reinforced concrete slab with a minimum thickness
of 10cm. Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is constructed so that
it meets the requirements outlined above.
The hot tub must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away
from it. Placing the hot tub in a depression without provisions for proper
drainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood the equip-
ment and create a wet condition in which it would sit. For hot tubs which will
be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to permit access to the equip-
ment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain that there are
no obstructions which would prevent removal of the cabinet side panels, espe-
cially on the side with the equipment bay doors.
3.1 Outdoor Locations
In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your hot tub, we suggest that you
take into consideration 1) the proximity to changing area and shelter (espe-
cially in colder weather); 2) 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);
3) the closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and birds
could create extra work in keeping the hot tub clean); 4) a sheltered environ-
ment (less wind and weather exposure can result in lowered operation and
maintenance costs); and 5) 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.
3.2 Indoor Locations
For indoor installations, be certain to make provisions for proper ventilation.
When the hot tub is in use, considerable amounts of moisture will escape.
This can damage certain surfaces over time.
Page 5
ENGLISH
If you have any questions regarding the placement or installation of your hot
tub, consult your authorized Sundance Dealer.
4.0 General Electrical Safety Instructions
Your new Sundance hot tub is equipped with the "state-of-the-art" SentryTM
equipment system. It contains the most advanced safety and self-protective
equipment in the industry. Nonetheless, this hot tub must be installed prop-
erly to insure dependable usage. Please contact your local government
authority should you have any questions regarding your installation. In the
event they are unable to answer your questions, direct your inquiries to
Sundance Spas. Please refer to the rear cover of this manual for our
address and telephone number.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Sundance hot tubs are equipped
with a current collector system. A pressure wire connector located on the sur-
face of the control box, located inside the equipment door (Figure B, page 7)
to permit connection of a bonding wire between this point and any ground
metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit within 1.5m of the hot tub, or
copper clad grounding rod buried within 1.5m of the hot tub. Bonding wire
must be at least 10mm2solid copper wire. This is a most important safety
assurance feature.

while the jets pumps is running.
Listed above are the most common power configurations by model.
Current/wattage requirements for each model change depending on
device* availability. Basically, the more functions (electrical devices) in a
spa, the greater its current/wattage demand. Refer to the jumper
configuration/max current chart (page 39) for a complete listing of power
requirements for each device within your spa.

7.0 Start-Up Instructions
FOR BEST RESULTS, READ EACH STEP IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE
PROCEEDING WITH THAT STEP.
A. Prepare 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 and wax available from your dealer prior to
filling the first time.)
• Remove the filter lid (Figure-F, Page 14), then remove filter cartridge as
illustrated in section 11.1, page 28-29.
B. Fill Hot Tub
• Place the end of your garden hose into the empty filter bucket.
NOTE: Never fill with water from a water softener. If your water is extreme-
ly “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 dealer.
Page 9
ENGLISH
• 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.
Page 10
ENGLISH
When power is turned on, the spa defaults to STANDARD mode. In
STANDARD mode, the skimming/heating cycle will activate pump
1 as programmed to provide skimming action and additional filtration.
In ECONOMY mode, the skimming/heating cycle will not come on.
This is the main difference between the two operating modes.
WARNING - RISK OR INJURY
Always check the water temperature carefully before entering the
hot tub.
H. Setting Desired Temperature
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 (Down) or
WARMER (Up) sensor pad once to display the “set tempera-
ture” for 5 seconds. If you want the water to heat to a different
temperature, simply press COOLER (Down) or WARMER (Up)
within 5 seconds. The set temperature advances or decreases
by one degree each time one of these sensor pads 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 40 °C and the
minimum is 26 °C.
•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 1 °C below the “set temperature.”
I. 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 and the capacity of your hot tub. Larger hot tubs heat
at about 2 to 3 °C per hour; smaller hot tubs heat at a rate of approxi-
mately 4 to 5 °C per hour.

ENGLISH
8.0 Operating Instructions
Your Sundance hot tub has a touch-sensitive control panel, massage selector
valves and air control knobs located on the top rim of the hot tub (Figure-F,
page 14). These controls let you operate many of the special functions of your
Sundance hot tub. By familiarizing yourself with the following information, you
will be able to gain the full benefit afforded by the various functions of your
hot tub.
8.1 View
Pressing this sensor pad inverts the main four-digit display on the
Command Center’s LCD screen to allow easy reading from either
inside or outside the hot tub.
8.2 Light
The LIGHT sensor pad activates both the underwater light and the
light symbol on the LCD screen when pressed To reduce the
brightness of the light, press the sensor pad again. A third press
will result in an even lower level of illumination. A fourth press turns the light
off. If left on, the light will automatically turn off after one hour.
There are two colored lenses included with your hot tub which may be placed
over the light lens inside the hot tub. To remove a lens, pull straight out. To
install a lens, align tabs and push straight in. Your hot tub comes with a clear
lens installed.
The optional SunGlowTM Multi-Colored LED Light Kit (#6560-240) can
retrofit the factory installed spa light. This option offers 7 light colors and a
unique random mode for enhanced spa enjoyment. Consult your Sundance
Dealer for additional information.
8.3 Air Injection
When the AIR sensor pad is pressed, the air blower forces air
through the injectors located in the seats and footwell. The bub-
bles symbol above the sensor pad appears on the LCD display
whenever the air blower is on. An electronic timer automatically turns the air
blower off 20 minutes after it was turned on. Note: The air blower automat-
ically activates for 1 minute at the start of the clean-up cycle at 12:00 (Noon).
This clears the lines of the air injector system to help ensure that all water is
exposed to sanitizer. This cycle is non-programmable.
8.4 Jets 1 - The sensor pad labeled JETS 1 controls the main
jets pump #1. Pressing this sensor turns pump #1 on and off.
Page 12
ENGLISH
8.5 Jets 2 - On models with two jet pumps, JETS 2 controls the
high-speed pump #2.
Auto Turn Off — Anytime a pump has been manually turned on, it will
automatically turn off after approximately 20 minutes. If at this time you
desire more jet operation you may simply turn the pump(s) back on.

8.6 Selecting The Desired Massage Action
Your Sundance spa is equipped to allow you to customize
the massage action you desire. Each model incorporates
a diverter valve(s) that allow you to customize the mas-
sage and performance by diverting water between various
jet systems. Simply turn diverter to position A (Combo), B, or C to divert
water pressure to various jet groups. Note: The diverter valve is designed to
operate in positions A (Combo), B, and C for optimum performance. It is con-
sidered 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 spa is covered. Select position
B or C for maximum jet performance during spa use.
In the Optima, Cameo and Marin, one massage
selector controls the therapy jets and whirlpool jets.
The other massage selector controls the therapy
seat jets and vertical jets (foot jets).
In the Altamar, the massage selector on the pump #2
system diverts between the therapy seat and the whirlpool
jets (in the footwell and on the side wall). The pump #1
system powers the therapy jets in the lounge and seats of
the hot tub.
8.7 Adjusting Fluidix Intelli-Jets
The Fluidix Intelli-Jets in your new spa offer the
advantage of no moving parts and zero maintenance. They can also be
adjusted for a high and low impact massage, providing the ultimate mas-
sage! Each jet has it’s own water volume and directional or oscillating flow
adjustment. The jet’s outer dial controls water volume (flow rate) and it’s
center “mode disk” selects either an oscillating or directional flow massage.
To Adjust Jets
1. Turn outer dial (A) clockwise to increase water
volume. Turn outer dial counterclockwise to decrease
water volume or to shut jet off.
2. Rotate center “mode disk” (B) clockwise to select a
non-oscillating water stream or turn counterclockwise
to select an oscillating stream at any angle.
3. For a high impact massage, turn corresponding air
control knob clockwise. For low impact massage, turn corresponding air
control knob counterclockwise.
Note: Always keep at least 6 adjustable jets open at all times on each jet
system.
Page 15

ENGLISH
AB
8.8 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 rota-
tion reduces air flow. T
o minimize heat loss, these controls should be closed
when the hot tub is not in use.
8.9 Fragrance Dispenser
On the rim of your hot tub is a screw-off cap labeled “SunScents Fragrance
Dispenser” (Figure-F, Page 14). It is designed to contain packages of a specially
made fragrance available from your Sundance 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 prevent personal injury, always turn off air
blower before removing or installing SunScents dispenser cap.
CAUTION: Use Only Sundance SunScentsTM Fragrances in your
new hot tub. Never remove the SunScentsTM beads from their
plastic cage for any reason. Install bead cage directly into
SunScentsTM dispenser. Never use this dispenser for any other
type of fragrance. Always make certain that the dispenser cap is
securely in place before operating the hot tub’s air blower.
8.10 Optional SunSoundTM Audio System
Sundance models with the optional audio system offer
enhanced spa enjoyment by offering an integrated state-of-the-
art audio system. These models include a high-quality
AM/FM/CD splash-resistant marine stereo receiver, two high-
quality marine speakers, and an integrated subwoofer for long-life and an
excellent sound quality. Two speakers located on spa corners (Figure-F,
page 14) are designed for manual exposure and retraction. To expose each
speaker for audio playback, simply press download on each enclosure to
unlatch it’s “pop-up” mechanism, then release. To retract each speaker
before covering spa, gently press downward on each enclosure until you feel
a slight “click”, then release.
CAUTION: Never step or sit on a speaker enclosure! This type
of misuse will damage the speaker enclosure latching and
track mechanism. Always retract speakers prior to covering spa.

9.0 Automatic Filtration
Your spa is equipped with a small circulation pump which provides 24-hour
water filtration and maintains the water temperature efficiently and econom-
ically. The circulation pump draws water through the stage 2 MicroCleanTM
filter cartridge (Section 11.1, Page 28), The only time the circulation pump
will stop is if the actual water temperature exceeds the programmed set
temperature by 1°C, a condition known as “summer logic.” When this
occurs, the circulation pump remains off until the actual water temperature
cools to the set temperature. Refer to the summer logic definition below
for a thorough explanation of this feature.
Summer Logic: In warm weather, the water temperature in the hot tub
may exceed the set temperature. This condition may occur due to heat
transference from jets pump #1 and 24-hour circulation pump. If the water
temperature is higher than 35°C and rises 1°C above the set temperature,
a “Summer Logic” condition occurs that deactivates the circulation pump
and ozonator (if equipped). This safety feature cannot be altered! The
circulation pump and ozonator will remain off until the water temperature
cools to the set temperature (except between12AM-2AM when the circu-
lation pumps runs for it’s mandatory 2-hour “clean-up” cycle when in sum-
mer logic). To help prevent a “Summer Logic” condition, it may be neces-
sary to reduce the skimming/heating cycle run time in warm weather.
9.1 Preset Skimming/Heating Cycle
Your hot tub comes with one one-hour skimming/heating cycle already
programmed with a start time at 12:00 PM (noon). When the pro-
grammed start time is reached, jets pump 1 turns on to provide high-
volume water filtration. You can easily change the start time, or the cycle
length to suit your needs by following the steps outline in section 10.2
(Page 25).
9.2 Standard Skimming/Heating Mode
In this mode, 2-stage water filtration is achieved by activating pump 1 for
the programmed skimming/heating cycle. Water temperature is regulated
by the set temperature, 24-hour circulation pump, and heater which turns
on as needed. After the programmed set temperature is reached, the
heater turns off and the circulation pump continues to operate 24-hours to
filter and clean your spa through the MicroClean filter cartridge (unless pro-
grammed otherwise).
9.3 Economy Skimming/Heating Mode
In this mode, the programmed skimming/heating cycle is disabled.Water
temperature is regulated by the set temperature and 24-hour circulation
pump. The circulation pump also filters and cleans the water by drawing it
through the MicroClean filter cartridge.
9.4 Selecting Standard or Economy Skimming/Heating Mode
Press the MODE button to select either “Standard” or “Economy”
skimming/heating mode (Figure-E, Page 13). The control panel’s indicator
on the right side of the LCD changes to indicate which mode is selected.
When an automatic skimming/heating cycle activates, the LCD screen
displays the following message:
FILTER
CYCLE ON
9.5 Clean-Up Cycle
The clean-up cycle is once per day in both Standard and Economy mode
at 12:00 PM (noon) for two minutes. This is not user programmable. Pump
#2 and blower activate for one minute to circulate any water in the plumb-
ing. After 1 minute they both go off and Pump #1 runs for 1 minute. If
the skimming/heating cycle is also set at 12:00 PM (noon), pump #1 will
continue to run for the duration of the cycle.

10.0 Programming Instructions
10.1 Adjusting Time of Day
The Sentry control system remembers the time of day even in the event of a
prolonged power outage. However, it may occasionally be necessary to reset
the time of day. For example: if you are not in the Pacific Time Zone you
will want to reset the time for your own time zone. (The system will auto-
matically adjust to and from daylight savings time.) To accomplish this,
press DISPLAY, MODE and DISPLAY within five seconds each. A number
representing the hour will be displayed, followed by AM or PM. The hour
will advance or decrease each time UP or DOWN is pressed within five
seconds. Then, press DISPLAY again to display the minutes. Adjust the
minutes as necessary by pressing UP or DOWN. After 5 seconds, the dis-
play will return to normal.
10.2 Changing The Skimming/Heating Cycle
The Sentry Control System allows you to easily adjust two separate aspects
of the skimming/heating cycle (1) the time of day at which the cycle
begins, (2) the duration of the cycle. To make adjustments, first press
CYCLE to enter the skimming/heating cycle programming mode. The LCD
screen will display the following in the upper right corner:
ADJUST START TIME
FILTER
CYCLE
This means the system is ready to accept your changes to the start time for
the skimming/heating cycle. Simultaneously, the large four-digit display in
the center of the screen displays the currently programmed start time for
the cycle. At this point, you have four options. You may:
(1) Press UP or DOWN to adjust the start time in increments of 30 minutes.
(2) Press SELECT to move down the menu from Start Time to Duration.
Press UP or DOWN to adjust the duration in increments of 15 minutes.
(3) Press DISPLAY to make the skimming/heating cycle programming
characters disappear from the screen and the main display return to
showing water temperature. If no sensor is pressed within 30 seconds,
the screen automatically returns to the standard water temperature
display.

At any time, you may check the programming of any aspect of the
skimming/heating cycle by first pressing CYCLE then moving through the
menu by pressing either CYCLE or SELECT. The programming is changed
only by pressing UP or DOWN during this process.
10.3 Programming The Change Filter Reminder
Your new spa is equipped with a programmable “Change
Filter” reminder that appears on the control panel display
after a specified number of days. It is designed to remind
you to clean and/or replace your filter cartridge(s) on a regular basis but
does not affect spa operation in any way. This reminder must be reset at
each filter cleaning interval. It offers a selectable range from 10-120 days
or can be disabled. We recommend an initial setting of 30 days, after
which you can easily determine whether you need to shorten or lengthen
its interval by visually inspecting your filter cartridge. Refer to section 11.1
(page 28) for filter cleaning recommendations.
Programming Instructions
(1) Press the CYCLE sensor three times. The main display reads “FIL”
indicating the “Change Filter” display program has been accessed.
(2) Press SELECT sensor once to display currently programmed duration or
days elapsed since last filter cleaning interval.
(3) Press UP or DOWN sensor to change duration as follows:
0 - 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - 50 - 60 - 70 - 80 - 90 - 100 - 110 - 120 - OFF
(4) Press DISPLAY sensor once to save changes and return to the
standard water temperature display. Note: If no sensor is pressed
within 30 seconds, the screen will automatically return to the standard
water temperature display.
10.4 Programming The Optional Ozonator Cycle
The Sentry control system allows you to easily adjust two separate aspects
of the ozone cycle:
•The time of day (start time) the ozonator begins operating.
•The length of time (duration) the ozonator operates.
Programming Procedure:
(1) Press the CYCLE sensor once. “Adjust 1” indicator displays.
(2) Press CYCLE sensor a second time, “Adjust O3” indicator displays.

(5) Press DISPLAY sensor to exit setup and return to normal water
temperature display.
10.5 Locking The Skimming/Heating Cycle
You may keep the skimming/heating cycle program from being inadvertently
altered by electronically “locking” it. To accomplish this, simply press CYCLE
then, within 30 seconds, press DISPLAY, MODE and UP, within five seconds
each. A padlock symbol will appear on the screen. In this state, the status of
the cycle programming may be checked, but may not be altered. To unlock
the cycle programming to make changes, simply press DISPLAY, MODE and
DOWN within five seconds each.
10.6 Panel Lock
To help prevent unauthorized use of your hot tub, the Sentry controls incorpo-
rate a unique panel locking system which disables the controls on the panel.
To Lock The Panel: Press the DISPLAY, MODE,and UP sensor pads,
in order, within five seconds. A padlock symbol will appear on the LCD
screen. With the panel locked, none of the components can be turned on and
the only settings that can be adjusted are the standard/economy operating
mode and changing the time of day. All automatic hot tub functions will oper-
ate normally.
To Unlock The Panel: Press DISPLAY, MODE, and DOWN, in order,
within five seconds. The “lock” symbol will disappear. All sensor pads
are now active.
10.7 Temperature Setting Lock
To electronically lock the temperature setting, first enter the “temperature set-
ting” mode by pressing UP or DOWN. Then, within five seconds, press the
three sensors described under “To Lock The Panel” above. This will prevent
the temperature setting from being changed by unauthorized persons but all
other sensors will remain active. To unlock the temperature setting so that it
can be adjusted, simply follow the instructions above under “To Unlock The
Panel” above.

11.0 Hot Tub Maintenance
Proper and regular maintenance of your hot tub will help it retain its beauty
and performance. Your authorized Sundance Dealer can supply you with all
the information, supplies, and accessory products you will need to accom-
plish this.
11.1 Cleaning The Filter
A programmable “Change Filter” reminder flashes on the
control panel display after a specified number days to remind
you to clean (or replace) your filter cartridge(s). This
reminder must be reset at each cleaning interval. Refer to
section 10.3 (page 26) for additional information and programming details.
Your Sundance hot tub is equipped with an exclusive MicroCleanTM 2-stage
filter located under the filter lid (Figure-F, Page 14). Larger debris is filtered by
pump #1 drawing water through the larger (stage 1) cartridge during normal
operation and at each skimming/heating cycle. Fine debris is filtered by the
circulation pump drawing water through the smaller (stage 2) cartridge. Both
halves work together to give you unsurpassed water quality! To ensure opti-
mum performance, clean and reuse the stage 1 cartridge once a month and
replace the stage 2 cartridge every 3 months.
All models include filters on their footwell suction covers (Page 14)
that prevent debris from entering pump 2 and the diverter valve(s),
when operating. These filters must remain in place to protect these
components from debris entrapment/damage. They should be
cleaned every 2 months, or when weak pump 2 performance is observed.
ALWAYS TURN POWER TO THE HOT TUB OFF BEFORE CLEANING THE
FILTER CARTRIDGE! To accomplish this, refer to the filter cleaning/replace-
ment procedure below:

FILTER
Periodically, the stage 1 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.
The average life expectancy of the stage 1 filter is approximately two years
with proper care and water quality maintenance. The smaller stage 2 fil-
ter cannot be cleaned and must be replaced (thrown-out) every
3-months, or as needed. Attempts to reuse this cartridge will reintroduce
debris into your hot tub! Replacement cartridges may be purchased from
your Sundance dealer.
Note: Nylon suction filters need to be cleaned periodically for optimum
performance of all jets (See Figure-F, Page 14).
11.2 Draining and Refilling
About every 3 to 6 months, you will want 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 prevent 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 32). 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:
For Hot Tubs with An External Drain Valve
1. Turn off power to hot tub at breaker.
2. Locate the 3” gray drain valve cap on the left or right side of the hot tub.
Unscrew drain valve cap to expose the underlying male garden hose fit-
ting. Attach hose to fitting and route opposite end away from hot tub.
3. Pull outward on garden hose at drain connection (approx. 3/8”) to open
valve and release water. Water drains at approximately 3 gallons per
minute.
4. Close drain valve by pushing inward on garden hose at drain connection
until you feel it bottom out, then remove garden hose, install gray drain
cap, and refill spa. Refer to “Start-Up Instructions” (page 9).
11.3 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 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. Your Sundance Dealer offers a specially formulated surface sealant
which aids in cleaning the hot tub surface and adds a protective coating to
enhance the luster of the surface. This product should also be occasionally
applied to the stainless steel grab rails and accents in the hot tub to help pre-
serve their appearance.
Page 30
ENGLISH
11.4 Pillow Care
Remove and clean the headrest pillows as needed with soapy water using a
cloth or soft-bristle brush. To maintain water resistance and luster, apply a
quality vinyl conditioner once a month. Always remove the pillows when
adding chemical shock treatment to the hot tub water. The pillows can be
returned to the hot tub when the sanitizer reading drops below 5 ppm.
IMPORTANT: Never attempt to remove the pillows by pulling on them!
The pillows utilize a bolt-on design that prohibits removal without tools.
To remove pillows:
1. Grasp center pillow insert (A) with finger
tips and gently pry outward from pillow
base (C).
2. Use a standard screwdriver to loosen
and remove mounting bolts (B) from
pillow base.
3. Assemble in reverse order after cleaning.
DO NOT overtighten pillow mounting
bolts!
11.5 Maintaining The Wood Cabinet
With time and exposure to the elements, the wood on your hot tub will
tend to lose its new appearance. Protecting or reviving the wood surfaces is
a fairly simple process. Light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper will help
smooth any roughness and regular applications of a penetrating wood
preservative will enhance and protect the richness of the wood. A specially
formulated wood stain available from your Sundance dealer is ideal for this.
NOTE: Do not apply varnish, shellac or other surface sealants to the
wood. These tend to react with the chemicals in the wood and the UV
rays of the sun, causing yellowing, flaking and peeling.
11.6 Maintaining The Optional Synthetic Cabinet
The optional synthetic cabinet requires little or no maintenance of any kind.
To clean, simply wipe cabinet with a clean towel and mild detergent soap
solution.
CAUTION: Never spray cabinet with a garden hose for any reason since
this action may induce an electrical short in the spa’s electrical equipment.
Page 31
ENGLISH
11.7 Maintaining The Cover
Using the Sundance insulating hot tub cover anytime the hot tub is not in use
will significantly reduce your operating costs, heat-up time and maintenance
requirements. To prolong the life of the cover, handle it with care and clean it
regularly using mild soap and water. Periodic treatments with a special con-
ditioner developed for Sundance hot tub covers will help protect against dete-
rioration caused by U.V. rays from the sun. Never allow anyone to stand or sit
on the cover, and avoid dragging it across rough surfaces.
11.8 Winterizing
Your Sundance hot tub is designed to automatically protect itself against freez-
ing 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
-29°C) reset the skimming/heating cycle for 24-hour operation to protect the
hot tub. 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.
For expert winterization of your hot tub, contact your authorized
Sundance Dealer. In emergency situations, damage can be minimized by
taking the following steps:
CAUTION: Turn off power to hot tub.
1. Follow the directions on page 30 for draining the hot tub.
2. 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.
3. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available to
remove any remaining water from the footwell.
4. Turn the power to the hot tub back on briefly and press the AIR
button to activate the air blower. This will evacuate the water from the
air injector lines. (Note: Stand back to avoid the misty spray.)
5. Turn off power to the hot tub.
6. Remove the equipment-side cabinet panels and locate the drain plugs
in the front of the pump(s) (Figure-A, Page 6). Remove these plugs to
allow the water to drain out of the pumps and heater. (Note:
Approximately one to two gallons will be released during this proce-
dure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from flooding
Page 32
ENGLISH
Page 33
the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.
7. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of heater (Figure-A, Page 6) and pull
hose off of heater fitting (twist the hose back and forth while pulling
downward). Tip hose down and allow to drain.
8. Re-install cabinet side panels and cover hot tub so that no casual
moisture can enter into it. Consult your Authorized Sundance Dealer if
you have any questions regarding winter use or winterizing.
11.9 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 prevent-
ing the hot tub from operating properly and possibly damaging the equip-
ment. We recommend you consult your dealer for guidance before attempt-
ing to re-start your hot tub under these conditions.
11.10 Handrail Maintenance
The handrails in your Sundance spa 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 high-
ways, chemical treatments added to swimming pools and spas, and ground
water in numerous coastal areas. The good news is with proper care, your
spa’s handrails can maintain their original finish.
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 muratic or hydrochloric acids. Vinegar is ok, but it won’t do
much to remove rust.
ENGLISH
12.0 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 formu-
la, and there is no avoiding it. A careless attitude in regard to water mainte-
nance 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 Dealer who
can recommend appropriate chemical products for sanitizing and maintain-
ing your hot tub.
CAUTION: Never store hot tub chemicals inside the hot tub's equipment bay.
12 . 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 7.2 to 7.8. 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.
12 .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
Brominator™, a special compartment built into the floating skimmer gate to
hold bromine tablets. By regulating the number of bromine tablets in the
Brominator™ and the length of the filtration cycles, you can control the
amount of bromine which is actively working in your hot tub water. A
bromine residual of 2 to 3 ppm is generally considered desirable. A two-
part bromine system or granular chlorine (Dichlor) are also acceptable sani-
tizers.
IMPORTANT: Do not use chlorine tablets (Trichlor) in your hot tub. This
chemical can have an extremely corrosive effect on certain materials in
the hot tub. Damage caused by use of this chemical, or improper use of
any chemicals, is not covered under the hot tub's warranty.
Page 34
ENGLISH
12 .3 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 Dealer can advise you on the use of these additives.
12.4 Optional SunZoneTM Water Maintenance System
If you have elected to have your hot tub equipped with the optional
Sundance SunZoneTM UV or SunZoneTM CD water purification system you
will find that your water stays fresh and clear with significantly less chemical
sanitizer usage. You will also probably be able to go longer between com-
plete hot tub drainings.
13.0 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. Following is a list-
ing of all the possible messages along with their meanings:
MESSAGE MEANING
Overheat Protection (Heater is deactivated, pump’s low
speed is activated). Water temperature is above acceptable
limits. Do not enter the water! Remove hot tub cover to
speed cooling. See “WATER IS TOO HOT” on page 38. If
condition persists, contact your dealer or authorized service
center.
If the hot tub water is more than 8°C cooler than the
temperature setpoint, pump #1 and heater will automatically
activate to provide freeze protection. The hot tub will stay in
this mode until the water temperature reaches 8°C below
the set temperature. No corrective action is necessary.
FLOW SWITCH (Heater is deactivated. Pump may also be
deactivated). Proper flow of water is inhibited or a flow switch
has malfunctioned. Check for proper water level and check for
clogged stage 2 filter (Page 28-29). Contact your dealer or
service organization.
*NOTE: THIS MESSAGE CAN ALSO APPEAR IF THE PUMP HAS NOT
REGAINED PRIME AFTER THE HOT TUB HAS BEEN DRAINED AND
Page 35
ENGLISH
*
REFILLED. IF YOU SUSPECT THAT THIS IS THE CASE, SEE THE
INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 37 UNDER “PUMP DOES NOT OPERATE...”
Panel sensors have been pressed too many times in a short
period of time. Because this could cause excessive wear on
equipment components, panel sensors are temporarily
deactivated. Panel sensors will automatically re-activate if no
sensor is pressed for 30 seconds.
Circuit board temperature has exceeded acceptable limit. This
message will disappear when the circuit board temperature
drops below acceptable limit. If condition persists, provide
shade for the equipment side of the hot tub.
FREEZE PROTECTION
A potential freeze condition has been detected. No action is
required. Pump(s) operate until the hot tub is out of danger.
Note: This error commonly occurs when the hot tub is first filled
because tap water is often very cold.
Communication between the control panel and/or remote con-
trol panel and circuit board is faulty. Contact your dealer or ser-
vice organization.
"WATCHDOG" (Hot tub is deactivated). A problem has been
detected which could cause damage to the hot tub or its com-
ponents. Contact your dealer or service organization.

Pump Priming Instructions: Turn Hot Tub Off!
Remove filter and insert end of garden hose into left-side filter fitting.
Seal-off fitting opening around hose using a large, clean rag and hold in
place. Ask a helper to turn on maximum water flow through the garden
hose. After about 30 seconds, turn off water. Repeat process for right-side
filter fitting, then remove hose and rag. Reinstall filter as illustrated in
section 11.1 (page 28-29) and activate pump 1. Another method of
priming the hot tub’s pump(s) is as follows:
1. Turn off the power to the hot tub.
2. Remove the handle from the massage selector supplied by the pump
you are priming.
3. Loosen the massage selector’s cap slightly (counterclockwise),
listening for the air to seep out.
4. Tighten the cap finger-tight, replace the handle and turn the hot tub’s
power back on.
Page 38
(Note: This method must be used for pump #2 of all Altamar, Cameo, Marin,
and Optima models because pump #2 is not connected to the filter.)
IMPORTANT: If freezing conditions exist and pump is not operational,
take measures to protect the system from freeze damage. See
“Winterizing” (page 32).
POOR JET ACTION 1. Make certain the pump is on.
(Figure-F, Page 14) 2. Check position of massage selectors
3. Open air control for selected jet system.
4. Check for adequate water level.
5. Check for dirty filter (Page 28-29).
6. Check for dirty filters on all three pump 2
footwell suction covers (Page 14).
WATER IS TOO HOT. 1. Reduce thermostat setting (Page 11).
2. Reduce filtration cycle length. Even with heater
off, water temperature can increase from
prolonged pump operation (Page 25).
NO HEAT 1. Check thermostat setting.
2. Keep the cover in place while heating.
3. If “heater on” indicator is lit (Figure-E, Page 13),
but no temperature rise is experienced after a
reasonable period of time, contact your dealer
or authorized service center.
Should checking the above steps fail to correct the problem, please call your
dealer so that he may arrange service.
