Sundance Spas 780™ Series
The Sundance® 780™ Series is a strong mid-to-premium collection for customers who want a proven acrylic hot tub with good hydrotherapy, clean water features, attractive lighting, and multiple size choices without moving all the way into the more luxury-focused 880™ or 980™ Series.
Multi-column
Why choose the 780 series?
Key selling points:
- Premium hydrotherapy: Fluidix® jets are designed to deliver multiple massage styles, including deep-tissue, Swedish-style, shoulder, back, hip, calf, wrist, and foot relief depending on the model and seat.
- Comfortable seating variety: The 880 Series includes larger family spas, compact luxury spas, lounge models, non-lounge models, and unique layouts like the Marin® and Capri®.
- Better water care: Sundance lists CLEARRAY® UV-C / Active Oxygen technology with MicroClean® Ultra filtration and CLEARRAY® On-Demand across the series.
- Upscale design: SunSide® cabinetry, exterior accent lighting, SunGlow™ LED lighting, backlit grab bars, waterfalls, and the SunStrong® frame give the series a polished look and durable build.
Why would a customer buy from this series?
This collection is especially appealing for:
- Value-focused Sundance buyers: The 780 Series sits below the 880 and 980 Series, so it is a smart option for customers who want a premium brand experience without moving into the highest luxury tier.
- Families and social users: Chelsee® seats up to seven adults and has the highest seating capacity in the 780 Series. Hamilton™ seats up to six adults and includes a lounge seat.
- Hydrotherapy-focused customers: Chelsee® includes SMT™, Accu-Pressure™, Vortex seating, and a low-profile foot dome; Hamilton™ includes an Accu-Pressure™ seat, SMT™ lounge, Vortex seat, and foot jets.
- Smaller-space buyers: Montclair™ seats up to four adults in a compact layout, while Dover™ is a three-person plug-and-play model designed for patios or smaller spaces.
Cold-weather performance
For cold-weather markets like Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, the 780 Series should be positioned as a solid choice, especially when paired with Sundance’s optional Energy Efficiency Package. Sundance describes this package as an added factory-installed layer of EcoWrap® insulation between the frame and siding to conserve heat in the coldest climates, plus an upgraded spa cover designed for cold, harsh climates.
That matters because customers in mountain and high-desert climates are usually focused on heat retention, winter operating cost, and ease of use during freezing weather. The 780 Series also includes circulation pumps and insulated acrylic spa construction, with larger 240V models generally being the better fit for consistent winter use than a 120V plug-and-play setup. Dover™ is convertible and can run on 120V, but for colder climates I would usually discuss 240V installation when possible.
