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 54). 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 17) for recommended filling
instructions.

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.
