    Sundance 680 series Fl1 and Fl2 errors

    Hi, I have a Sundance 680 series hot tub which is about 2 years old. Haven't had any issues except about a week ago on an excessively hot day (it had been over 100 outside for about a week) I suddenly got a Fl2 error code. Pump 1 still worked at low and high speeds and pump 2 still worked...

    Aqua clarity : with air controls open or not?

    I'm a big fan of ahhsome and have gotten great results when using that for my purge and flush. So now I've been using Aqua Clarity for almost 2 months now and was wondering if I should be putting my jets on full blast with the air controls open or is it enough to just circulate the water with...

    CH of 0

    If I use a water softener to fill my tub, resulting in the fill water having a calcium hardness of 0 ppm, is that OK? I'm talking about a normal Sundance hot tub not a plaster one or anything. Will there be any effect on the plumbing or heater or components? I know I'll have issues with...

    Hot tub scum sponge

    When my hot tub arrived it came with a white scum sponge that I'm supposed to leave in the hot tub to suck up oils and scum. Then once it gets all nasty throw it away and put in a new one. I wasn't going to buy another but I figured I'd keep it in the tub and see if it does anything. I haven't...

    An ahhsome fan

    I got my Sundance hot tub last week and thought I'd try it out for a week before doing a full ahhsome purge. Well, today I used ahhsome and wow! Thick disgusting green sludge made a ring around the shell. This is a brand new hot tub. I've already noticed the tub eats far less chlorine. The...

    Ahhsome purge water

    Hi, just had a question regarding where to drain the water after using Ahhsome. Is it safe to drain it on the lawn or in the yard? Should I let the chlorine dissipate first? Or will it kill the plants? Thanks!

    Which salt water generator?

    Hi, I know for a lot here SWG are popular in the hot tub and it seems like most of those people like the saltron mini. Is there a reason to prefer that one over the Chlormaker (different company, similar pricing and function) or the smarterspa (automatically monitors and adjusts chlorine...

    Recommended to disable uv system?

    Hi again everyone, my next question... I recently purchased a sundance hot tub (Edison) and it comes with the clearray UV system. From what I understand from reading these forums and this website, the UV is of little benefit and will essentially eat up a good bit of FC. Do you recommend just...

    Will saltron mini or SWGs damage hot tub?

    Hi, I was speaking with a sundance dealer and he said that an aftermarket SWG will void the warranty because it will essentially corrode and pit and damage all the parts. He said if I was really insistent on using one that I should wait until the warranty has expired. I read the Sundance...

    Hard or soft water for hot tub?

    Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can give me some insight as to using soft water or normal city (hard) water to fill the hot tub. I use potassium for the softener, not salt. Is it better to use the soft water to fill it? Will it affect the chemistry if I plan to use the smarterspa or saltron mini...
