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.
