There are a number of unique functions designed into your Sundance hot tub to protect it from damage and/or to aid in troubleshooting. The indicator light located on the front cabinet panel of the spa is an early detection system that will notify you when the spa needs immediate attention. A solid white light indicates that all operations are normal. A solid red light indicates that immediate attention is required to clear or fix an error code. Following is a listing of all the possible messages along with their meanings.
