Description

The Kingston seats up to six adults in an open, social layout where every seat delivers real, distinct hydrotherapy. It is part of the next-generation hot tubs from Sundance Spas, purpose-built for hydrotherapy, relaxation, and water quality performance. It features both a lounge deck and sun coolers, giving owners a dedicated shallow-water relaxation space alongside full hydrotherapy seating. The spa combines a low-profile design with deep, contoured seating for enhanced comfort, and is powered by patented Fluidix® Jets, engineered to deliver precise, therapeutic hydrotherapy.

Built for durability and climate resilience, the Sundance 980 is also one of the industry's first hot tub with a hybrid steel and plastic frame and dual insulation to perform in the most extreme cold-weather conditions.

The spa is further equipped with upgraded ambient lighting, stylish cabinetry, and a glass touch control panel, combining performance, design, and ease of use.

Ideal for buyers researching best hot tub for hydrotherapy, low-profile hot tub design, hot tubs with the best water filtration, or most durable hot tub for cold climates, the Sundance 980 sets a new standard for comfort, water cleanliness, structural durability, and everyday usability in the premium spa category.
