sundance suntub

[burhead]

yes there is a schematic in mine. I will get the pic for you. Sorry I've been working feverisly on this and a couple of other projects so I havent been back here to check this forum.

So I ran the tub on both modes and put an ammeter on each wire. The heater was running on both modes. Then I flipped all the time clock switches to the opposite position and tried both modes again and the heater still runs. Now it is my understanding that in time clock mode, only the pump should be running to just circulate the water. Is that correct? The only thing that could be going on is that since the tub is not up to a high enough temp., the control box is going to call for heat.

I have been fighting the leaks for the last week. Find a leak and fix it, fill tub find a leak and so on. Last night I filled the tub with dye and didn't see any other spots of blue in the foam but one of the joints I fixed continues to leak. I successfully fixed 2 joints by using a wet/dry glue that is supposed to bond to wet surfaces. I used a shop vac to create a vaccuum in the lines and drizzed the glue on and it sucked it into the joint. I did this on the third joint aswell and it looks good but continues to leak. So now I am stuck. The leaking joint is at one of the jets, where the jet assembly meets the flexible pipe. So how do the jets come out of the tub. I guess I am thinking of spicing i a new piece of pipe but wont be able to do so until I can get the jet out of the tub. I ll get some pics tomorrow. Thanks for the help guys.

Just emailed you the manual...would REALLY appreciate the pic of the schematic.

here is a pic of the schematic. Sorry they arern't great because the tub is currently up ended and the pump is on the high side. If you need better ones let me know. Thanks again for the manual, it is completely accurate for my year and model.



Here are some pics of my jets and the leaking joint. Looking at it closer today I can't see where the water would be leaking, everything looks sealed up. I was almost wondering if it was leaking elsewhere and following the pipe and running off at the lowest spot of the pipe. The only place it is wet is around the joint and down to the lowest spot of the pipe. So does anyone know how the jet comes out of the tub?

oooooooooo, I think I can make that out

THANKS!

I have this exact same tub.  Mine is in brand new condition and so is my manual.  BTW - press "mode" until the LED turns red.  That's continuous mode.  Green is the timer mode.  Unfortunately, my pump just died last night.  Where did you find a replacement?


If anyone needs a clean PDF scan of the manual, let me know.

Great work people, nice to see people helping each other out.

Sorry haven't been back in awhile. I got my pump and motor at a local spa dealer. When the pump and motor came, the output was wrong. I guess they dont make the pump anymore so some custom plumbing work was in order. If all you need is the motor, I managed to get one of those from a company called grainger. I finally got my leaks all fixed and the thing has been working properlly for the last week or so. Thanks to all here for the help. BTW, I managed to fix my leaks using a technique I found here. Creating a vaccuum in the jets with a shop vac and sucking primer and glue into the leaking joints.

It looks like you're in good hands on this post. It's nice to see everyone assisting you in this leak dilemma. If you need any parts that you can't find locally. I can help you out. I'm a Sundance dealer with more parts in stock than I know what to do with.
Reach out if needed.

I have the opposite problem with my tub right now, it will not heat in either mode.  I have checked a few things but haven't found a definite problem. Any suggestions?

I have been given A 96 SunTub and need to find a manual.  I read this thread and saw Dr Spa Ret. had mentioned he has one.  Is there ay way to get a copy.  I cannot find it anywhere and can't get this thing running and heating.
