P.N.:6530-681B Rev. B

Attention New Spa Owner!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Sundance®680 Series spa! The
following is a list of automated functions and maintenance recommendations
for your new spa. Automated functions have been listed below in an attempt to
suppress any operational concerns you may have during startup and the rst 24
hours of ownership! Maintenance recommendations are listed in an attempt to
stress their importance in protecting your new spa.
Automated Operations
Approximately two minutes after power is applied to the spa, the rst ltration/heating
cycle turns on pump 1. With two pump models, an automatic ve minute “blow-out”
function also activates pump 2 for a period of ve minutes to ush all lines. Then, after
ve minutes, pump 2 turns off and pump 1 continues to operate for the duration of the
cycle.
Note: This function only occurs during the rst ltration/heating cycle each day.
Maintain Healthy Spa Water
Always maintain your spa’s water chemistry within the following parameters:
with CLEARRAY® without CLEARRAY®
pH 7.4-7.6 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 100-150 ppm
Calcium Hardness 150-250 ppm 150-250 ppm
IMPORTANT: CLEARRAY® Water Purication System is factory installed. If the
CLEARRAY® system is altered or is not operating efciently then follow the “without
CLEARRAY®” water chemistry parameters as dened by the Association of Pool
and Spa Professionals. CLEARRAY® requires an annual bulb replacement to
properly sanitize your water.
!TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE! Always maintain
your spa lter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water. Refer to page 34 for
additional information.
Required Filter Maintenance
Your new spa is equipped with an advanced water ltration system that provides
unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum water quality at all times, you
should clean and reuse both lter cartridges every month or as needed. See page
34 for detailed lter cleaning/replacement instructions.
Required Water Maintenance
!TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE! You should replace
the spa’s water every 3 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 39-40 for additional information.

1.0 Important Spa Owner Information
Your Sundance®680 Series spa is constructed to the highest standards
and is capable of providing many years of trouble-free use. However,
because heat retentive materials are utilized to insulate the spa for
efcient operation, an uncovered spa surface and wall ttings directly
exposed to sunlight and high temperatures for an extended period
are subject to permanent damage or discoloration. Damage caused
by exposing the spa to this abuse is not covered under warranty.
We recommend that you always keep the spa full of water when it is
exposed to direct sunlight and that you keep the Sundance premium
insulating cover in place at all times when the spa is not in use. Read
and carefully follow the requirements for your spa’s support base found
in Section 4.0 titled, “Choosing a Location” (page 9).
Sundance constantly strives to offer the finest spas available,
therefore modifications and enhancements may be made which
affect the specifications, illustrations and/or instructions contained
herein.

3.0 Important Safety Instructions for all Spa Owners
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
This spa was manufactured to meet the standards and specications
outlined in the “Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act” (VGB
Safety Act). When installing and using this spa, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including:
1. !DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING!
• Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access
by children.
• To avoid accidents, ensure that children do not use this spa unless
supervised at all times. Adult supervision is a critical safety factor in
preventing children from drowning.
• Use the straps and clip tie downs to secure the spa cover when not
in use. This will help discourage unsupervised children from entering
the spa. Keep the spa cover secure in high-wind conditions.
• There is no representation that the cover, clip tie-downs, or actual
locks will prevent access to the spa.
2. !DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING!
• Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from suction
ttings, 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, lter, lter lid, or skimmer
assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair entrapment.
• Never operate or use the spa if the lter, lter 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 ttings and suction covers in this spa are sized to match the
specic water ow created by the pump(s). If it is necessary to replace
the suction ttings, suction covers or pump(s), be sure that the ow rates
are compatible and are in compliance with the VGB Safety Act.
• Never replace a suction tting or suction cover with one rated less
than the ow rate marked on the original suction tting. Using improper
suction ttings or suction covers can create a body or hair suction
entrapment hazard that may lead to drowning or severe injury.
3. !DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY FROM ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR DEATH FROM ELECTROCUTION!
• Install the spa at least 5 feet (1.5m), from all metal surfaces. As an
alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces
if each metal surface is permanently connected (bonded) by a
minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm²) solid copper conductor attached
to the wire connector on the grounding lug, inside the equipment
compartment on the equipment box.

Page 3
680 SERIES
• A grounding wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a
minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm²) solid copper conductor between
this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical
equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the
unit.
• Never permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone,
radio, television, etc. within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa unless such
appliances are built-in by the manufacturer.
• Never bring any electrical appliances into or near the spa.
• Never operate any electrical appliances from inside the spa or when
you are wet.
• The electrical supply for this product must include a suitably rated
switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors
to comply with section 422-20 of the National Electrical Code/USA,
ANSI/NFPA 70. The disconnecting means must be readily accessible
and visible to the spa occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5m),
from the spa.
• The electrical circuit supplied for the hot tub must include a suitable
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) as required by NEC Article
680-42.
4. !WARNING: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH!
• Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent diving or jumping
into the spa or slipping and falling, which could result in
unconsciousness, drowning, or serious injury. Remember that wet
surfaces can be very slippery.
• Never stand, walk or sit on the top railing of the spa.
5. !WARNING: RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA (OVER-HEATING)
CAUSING SEVERE INJURY, BURNS, WELTS OR DEATH!
• Water temperature in excess of 104°F (40°C) may be injurious to
your health.
• Refer to Section 3.2 Hyperthermia for specic causes and symptoms
of this condition.
• The water in the spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water
temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are
considered safe for a healthy adult.
• Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children
(children are especially sensitive to hot water) and when spa use
may exceed 10 minutes.
• The Consumer Products Safety Commission/USA has stated that the
water temperature in a spa should not exceed 104°F (40°C).
• Always test the spa water temperature before entering the spa.
The user should measure the water temperature with an accurate
thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating
devices may vary as much as +/- 5°F (2°C).

6. !WARNING: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH!
• Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, if
pregnant or possibly pregnant, consult your physician before using a
spa.
• Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water
temperatures to 100°F (38°C).
• Persons suffering from obesity or a medical history of heart disease,
low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, diabetes,
infectious diseases or immune deciency syndromes should consult
a physician before using a spa.
• If you experience breathing difculties in association with using or
operating your spa, discontinue use and consult your physician.
• Persons using medication should consult a physician before using
a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness, while other
medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
• Persons suffering from any condition requiring medical treatment, the
elderly, or infants should consult with a physician before using a spa.
• The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use
may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
7. !WARNING: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH!
• Prolonged immersion in a spa may be injurious to your health.
• Observe a reasonable time limit when using the spa. Exposures
at higher temperatures can cause high body temperature (over-
heating). Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, fainting,
drowsiness, and reduced awareness. These effects could possibly
result in drowning or serious injury.
• Never use a spa immediately following strenuous exercise. Enter
and exit the spa slowly. Wet surfaces can be slippery.
8. !WARNING: TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR
DISEASE!
• To reduce the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infec-
tion, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments , maintain water
chemistry within the parameters listed on the inside cover of this
manual and consult with a licensed engineer regarding proper venti-
lation if installed indoors or in an enclosed area.
• People with infectious diseases should not use a spa to avoid water
contamination, which could result in spreading infections to others.
• Always shower before and after using your spa. Maintain water
chemistry in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Failure
to do so may result in contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an
infection, bacteria or virus).
