The most important contributors to energy efficiency include heat retention, (insulation), heater efficiency, programmability, and quality construction from the base to the cover. Sundance Spas feature the proprietary Rigid Bond shell, the only shell that includes additional heat retention while multiplying the strength of the shell and protecting against the elements

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Like many of our other customers, chances are you might have questions. To help you learn more about our products, ownership and the benefits they can offer, we have listed some of our most-asked questions and provided you with the answers.
Is saltwater in a hot tub healthy?
Make no mistake, a saltwater system on a hot tub dos NOT provide less maintenance or less chemistry. A saltwater spa uses salt to create chlorine, and will still demand water balancing, and maintenance efforts for the generator itself. Add to that the multi day start-up process of salt, the expense of the system, and the corrosive nature of salt to surfaces, and you will find that the safest way to keep your water clean is with spa chlorine or bromine. Sundance Spas are compatible with Frog @ease cartridges, which has all the ease that salt promises without the corrosion and expense.
What is the benefit of minerals?
Minerals are used as a natural and gentle sanitizer to help reduce the amount of chlorine needed for a spa. A mineral sanitizer can help keep pH in range, and isn’t harmful to the spa.
What kind of sanitizer should I use?
We recommend using spa chlorine and SunPurity mineral sanitizer, or bromine in properly balanced water.Correct water balancing will minimize your need for sanitizer while protecting your spas surfaces

How often should I drain my hot tub?
Drain hot tub questions: How often you change your hot tub water can depend greatly on how often the spa is used, the quality of water used to fill it, and how well the water is maintained. As a general rule of thumb, we recommend draining, cleaning, and refilling the hot tub every three to four months for an optimal operation.
How often should I clean my filter?
A clean and functioning filter is key to an operational filtration system, as it catches and removes dirt and debris, keeping the water clean and free of impurities. We recommend rinsing the filter every two weeks with fresh water from the hose or kitchen sink. You can also use this time to spray it down with a filter cleaner and then continue to rinse.
Filter cleaning nozzles are available that can be attached to the end of a hose, which can help water to better reach the nooks and crannies of your filter. Soak your filter overnight in a bucket filled with water and a small amount of filter cleaner every two months to remove deep-down debris. We recommend replacing your hot tub filter annually to ensure a fully functional filtration system.
How often should I clean my hot tub?
Cleaning hot tubs is the best practice for an enjoyable soak. How often and in what manner you clean your hot tub will depend on two factors: how often the spa is used and the manufacturer.
- Test your hot tub water with test strips once or twice a week.
- Treat your hot tub water accordingly based on the readings from the test strips.
- Clean the filter every two weeks with water from the hose.
- Drain, clean, and fill the hot tub once every three to four months.
