Portofino Series

Installation & Owner’s Manual

Attention New Spa Owner!

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Portofino spa! Listed below

are important maintenance recommendations you should observe on a

regular basis to protect your new investment.

Filter Maintenance

Your new spa is equipped with an advanced 2-stage water filtration

system that provides unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum water

quality at all times, you should clean and reuse the larger pleated filter car-

tridge every month. See page 17-18 for detailed filter cleaning/replace-

ment instructions.

Water Maintenance

You will want to replace the spa’s water every 3 to 6 months. The frequen-

cy depends on a number of variables including the frequency of use, num-

ber of users, attention paid to water quality maintenance, etc. 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

page 22 for additional information.

1.0 Important Spa Owner’s Information

Your Portofino spa is constructed of 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 directly exposed to

sunlight and high temperatures for an extended period of time is

subject to permanent damage. Damage caused by exposing the

spa to this abuse is not covered by 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 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.

Refer to section 4.0-4.2

(page 5-6).

Sundance Spas Inc. constantly strives to offer the finest spas avail-

able, therefore modifications and enhancements may be made

which affect the specifications, illustrations and/or instructions

contained herein.

2.0 FCC Notice

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with

the limits for a Class B Digital Device, pursuant to Part 15 of

the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with

the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communi-

cations. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not

occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encour-

aged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the follow-

ing measures:

1. Rearrange or relocate the receiving antenna;

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver;

3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

the circuit connected;

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party

responsible for FCC compliance could void the user’s authority to

operate this equipment.

3.0 Important Safety Instructions

When installing and using this equipment, basic safety

precautions should always be followed, including the

following:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERAT-

ING THE SPA!

2. DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Install spa at least

5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. (A spa may be installed

within 5 feet (1.5 m) of metal surfaces, if in accordance with the

country electrical code).

3. DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Do not permit any

electric appliance such as a light, telephone, radio, or television

within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa.

4. INSTALLATION - The spa must be installed in such a manner

as to provide drainage of the compartment for electrical compo-

nents.

5. CAUTION, 240 VAC POWERED SPAS - These spas must be

hard wired to your household electrical service box only. Do not

use an extension cord or any other disconnectable power cord.

The use of an extension cord or a disconnectable power cord is

highly dangerous and will void all warranties!

6. A wire connector marked ground “GRN” is provided within the

power box.

Refer to section 6.0 (page 8).

To reduce the risk of

electric shock, connect this terminal or connector to the ground-

ing terminal of your electrical service or supply panel with a

continuous green insulating copper wire equivalent in size to the

circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than

#8 AWG (8.4 mm2). In addition, a second wire connector is

provided for bonding to local ground points. To reduce the risk

of electrical shock, this connector should be bonded with a #8

AWG (8.4 mm2) copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes,

or other metal within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa.

7. The electrical supply for this product must include a suitably

rated switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply

conductors to comply with the country electrical code.

8. Before entering a spa or hot tub the user should measure the

water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the

tolerance of the water temperature regulating device may vary

as much as ±5 °F (±3 °C).

9. Always enter and exit the spa slowly and cautiously. Wet

surfaces are slippery.

10. Do not use the spa alone.

11.WARNING - RISK OF CHILD DROWNING. Extreme caution

must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children.

To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use a spa or hot

tub unless they are supervised at all times.

12. DANGER - To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove any drain

suction gate or cover.

13. Never use the weir gate for sitting or resting your feet. It is

designed to float freely.

14. The water in the spa or hot tub 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 extended use (exceeding

10-15 minutes) and for young children.

15. Since excessive water temperatures have potential for causing

fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or

potentially pregnant women should limit spa or hot tub water

temperatures to 100 °F (38 °C).

16. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or

hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of

drowning.

17. Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart

disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system prob-

lems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa

or hot tub.

18. Persons using medication should consult a physician before

using a spa or hot tub since some medications may induce

drowsiness while other medications may affect heart rate, blood

pressure, and circulation.

19. Long exposures in the spa may result in nausea, dizziness, or

fainting. Observe a reasonable time limit, leave the spa, then

shower, cool down, and if you wish, return for another brief stay.

20. Excessive temperatures may cause hyperthermia. Symptoms

and first aid information are as follows:

•HEAT STROKE: The most susceptible people are the very

young and elderly, alcoholics, and most people under the influ-

ence of drugs, medication and alcohol.

• SYMPTOMS: Hyperthermia causes loss of salt, sweating,

dizziness, headache, dryness of mouth and nausea, faintness

and/or unconsciousness, convulsions, flushed appearance of

skin, and rapid pulse and/or weak, shallow breathing.

•TREATMENT: Place the victim on his back, head slightly el-

evated. Apply wet cloths or ice packs to the head, wrap the body

in a sheet, pouring on a small amount of water. Follow with a

cool shower or bath. Get medical attention as soon as possible.

21. It is recommended that the following emergency telephone

numbers be listed at the nearest telephone: physician, hospital,

ambulance and police.

22. Save these instructions!

3.1 General Electrical Safety Instructions

Your new Portofino spa is equipped with the “state-of-the-art” LX-10

equipment system. It contains the most advanced safety and

self-protective equipment in the industry. Nonetheless, this spa

must be installed properly to insure dependable usage. Please

contact your dealer if you have any questions regarding your instal-

lation. In the event they are unable to answer your questions, direct

your inquiries to Sundance Spas Inc. Please refer to the back of this

manual for our address.

Proper grounding is extremely important. Portofino spas are

equipped with a current collector system. A pressure-type wire

connector is provided outside the control box, located behind the

equipment door to permit connection of a bonding wire between this

point and any ground metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit

within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa, or copper clad grounding rod buried

within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa. The bonding wire must be at least

#8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper wire. This is a very important safety

assurance feature. Before installing this spa, check with the local

electrical authority to insure the installation conforms to local coun-

try/area state codes.

4.0 Choosing a Location

IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa,

water, and users, it is extremely important that the base

upon which the spa rests be smooth, flat, level and capable

of uniformly supporting this weight without shifting or settling for the

entire time the spa is in place. If the spa is placed on a surface

which does not meet these requirements, damage to the skirt and/or

the spa shell may result. Damage caused by improper support is

not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. It is the responsibil-

ity of the spa owner to assure the integrity of the support at all times.

We recommend a poured, reinforced concrete slab with a minimum

thickness of 4 inches (10 cm). Wood decking is also acceptable,

provided it is constructed so that it meets the requirements outlined

above. The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide

drainage away from the spa. Placing the spa in a depression

without provisions for proper drainage could allow rain, overflow and

other casual water to flood the equipment and create a wet condition

in which it would sit.

For spas which will be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to

permit access to the equipment, either from above or below, for

servicing. Make certain that there are no obstructions that would

prevent removal of the cabinet side panels, especially on the side

with the equipment pack. Make sure provisions are made for drain-

ing the spa.

4.1 Outdoor Location

In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that

you take into consideration:

1. The proximity to changing area and shelter around spa (espe-

cially in colder weather).

2. The pathway to and from your spa (this should be free of debris

so that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the spa).

3. Closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and

birds could create extra work in keeping the spa clean).

4. A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can

result in lowered operation and maintenance costs).

5. The overall enhancement of your environment.

6. It is preferable not to place the spa under a gutter-less roof

overhang since runoff water will shorten the life expectancy of

the spa cover.

4.2 Indoor Location

For indoor installations, be certain to make provisions for proper

ventilation. When the spa is in use, considerable amounts of mois-

ture will escape. This can damage various surfaces over time. A

dehumidifier can help control the moisture in the room. If you have

any questions regarding the placement or installation of your spa,

consult your authorized Portofino dealer.

120/240 Volt Convertible Models

A spa connected to a 120 VAC electrical service must be located

close enough to a grounded, grounding-type electrical outlet so that

the included power cord can be plugged directly into it. DO NOT

USE AN EXTENSION CORD as this could cause damage to the

spa’s equipment due to insufficient voltage. The power supplied to

this spa must be a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or

lights sharing the power provided by the circuit.

5.0 Power Supply Requirements

All US/Canada 120/240 VAC Convertible Models (60 Hz)

For 240 VAC Heater Operation: Move the red wire on the main terminal

strip (TB1) from position #1 to position #3. Make certain wires are con-

nected exactly as shown in figure-H (page 8) before applying power.

Failure to do so will result in damage to the circuit board and/or related

components and void the manufacturer’s warranty.

*In the 15 A / 30 A configuration, the heater will not operate at the

same time as the high-speed jets pump. The factory setting is

120 VAC/15 A.

** If the spa is to be operated on 40 A service, remove the jumper JP1

#1&2 on the circuit board to allow the heater to operate at the same

time as the high-speed jets pump (see page 31).
