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
efficient operation, an uncovered spa surface and wall fittings directly
exposed to sunlight and high temperatures for an extended period is
subject to permanent damage or discoloration. Damage caused by
exposing the spa to this abuse is not covered under warranty. We rec-
ommend 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 careful-
ly follow the requirements for your spa’s support base found in section

Immersion in water in excess of 104°F (40°C) can be hazardous to
your health.
3. Observe a reasonable time limit when using the spa. Long expo-

Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and
reduced awareness. These effects could possibly result in drowning.
