Understanding Your Massage Experience
How Sundance® Hydrotherapy Works
How Sundance® Hydrotherapy Works
Every jet in the Sundance® 780 Series is engineered to perform a specific therapeutic role. Some jets provide deep tissue pressure, others create rotating massage patterns, while specialty jets simulate kneading, acupressure, or broad muscle coverage.
By combining multiple jet technologies within a single seat, Sundance creates unique massage experiences tailored to relaxation, recovery, circulation improvement, and everyday wellness. The result is a hydrotherapy system that feels more like a collection of specialized massage stations than a traditional hot tub.
Five Signature 780 Series Massage Experiences
The Sundance® Hydrotherapy Difference
The Sundance® Hydrotherapy Difference
780 Series spas combine proprietary Fluidix® technology, Accu-Pressure™ therapy, SMT™ massage, Vortex rotational hydrotherapy, and Intelli-Jet™ adjustability to create a variety of massage experiences unavailable in conventional hot tubs.
Every seat is purpose-built to deliver a unique therapy experience, allowing users to move throughout the spa and enjoy different forms of relaxation, recovery, and muscle relief in a single soaking session
Shared Lower-Body Therapy
Accu-Pressure™ Foot Dome
Accu-Pressure™ Foot Dome
The 780 Series foot dome places multiple adjustable Accu-Pressure™ jets in the center of the spa, allowing several users to enjoy foot therapy at the same time. The concentrated jet streams stimulate the soles of the feet while improving circulation throughout the lower body.
Many owners find that combining foot therapy with upper-body massage creates a more complete hydrotherapy experience, helping the entire body relax more effectively.
Advanced Adjustable Hydrotherapy
Fluidix Intelli-Jet™
Fluidix Intelli-Jet™
Available exclusively on select Sundance® Spas, the Fluidix Intelli-Jet™ offers three levels of power adjustment and two distinct massage styles within a single jet. This innovation allows users to customize both the intensity and feel of the massage without changing seats.
At lower settings, the experience is broad and relaxing. At higher settings, the massage becomes more focused and deep, helping relieve muscle fatigue and improve recovery. No other jet in the 780 Series provides this level of personalization.
Acupressure Inspired Therapy
Accu-Pressure™ Jets
Accu-Pressure™ Jets
Accu-Pressure™ Jets deliver focused hydrotherapy designed to stimulate key muscle groups and pressure points throughout the body. Their concentrated stream creates a powerful, targeted massage experience that helps release deep muscle tension.
Many users compare the sensation to trigger-point therapy or acupressure, making these jets particularly effective for relieving stress, fatigue, and muscle tightness after long days or strenuous activity.
Deep Tissue Hydrotherapy
Fluidix® Reflex Jets
Fluidix® Reflex Jets
Fluidix® Reflex Jets are engineered to provide deeper tissue penetration through concentrated streams of water and air. The sensation is often compared to the pressure of a therapist's thumb working directly into tight muscles.
These jets excel at relieving chronic tension and stubborn muscle knots while promoting improved circulation and faster post-activity recovery. Adjustable controls allow users to fine-tune both intensity and direction for a personalized massage experience.
Customizable Muscle Relief
Fluidix® Directional Jets
Fluidix® Directional Jets
Directional jets deliver a steady stream of water that can be aimed precisely where therapy is needed most. Unlike rotating jets, directional jets provide consistent pressure that remains focused on a specific muscle group.
Users can adjust the jet direction to personalize the massage experience, making these jets ideal for targeting sore muscles, tight shoulders, lower back fatigue, and localized tension points.
Targeted Rotational Therapy
Mini-Vortex Jets
Mini-Vortex Jets
Mini-Vortex jets provide the same rotating massage style as larger Vortex jets while concentrating the therapy into a smaller coverage area. The narrower massage pattern allows users to target specific areas where tension commonly builds.
The result is a focused circular massage that feels more precise while still maintaining the comfortable kneading action that makes rotational therapy so effective
Dynamic Rotational Hydrotherapy
Vortex Jets
Vortex Jets
Vortex jets create a broad rotating massage pattern that sweeps across larger muscle groups. Instead of concentrating pressure in one location, the rotating stream moves continuously across the body to create a deep kneading sensation.
This massage style is commonly preferred by users seeking relief from muscle tightness in the middle and lower back. The sensation feels similar to a therapist using the palm of a hand to work large muscle groups in a circular motion.
Series Exclusive Masage Therapy
SMT™ Soothing Muscle Therapy Jets
SMT™ Soothing Muscle Therapy Jets
SMT™ jets are designed to create a spiral massage pattern that mimics the sensation of hands moving across muscle tissue. Rather than concentrating pressure on a single point, the massage sweeps smoothly across a wider area to create a comforting kneading effect.
This signature Sundance® therapy experience is especially effective at relieving everyday stress while providing a relaxing, full-coverage massage for the neck, shoulders, and upper back.
Recommended For
Relaxation, stress reduction, circulation improvement, and everyday wellness.
Acupressure Inspired Massage
Accu-Pressure™ Jets
Accu-Pressure™ Jets
Accu-Pressure™ Jets create focused streams of hydrotherapy designed to stimulate key muscle groups and pressure points. The concentrated pressure provides a targeted massage experience that helps release tension while promoting relaxation and circulation.
In the 780 Series, Accu-Pressure™ jets are commonly used in dedicated therapy seats and foot dome configurations, making them one of Sundance's most recognizable massage experiences.
Recommended For
Deep muscle tension, pressure-point therapy, lower back fatigue, and overall stress relief
Deep Tissue Hydrotherapy
Fluidix® Reflex Jets
Fluidix® Reflex Jets
Fluidix® Reflex Jets are designed to deliver concentrated pressure to specific muscle groups. By creating a focused stream of water and air, these jets target deeper layers of muscle tissue and help release built-up tension.
Many users describe the sensation as similar to firm thumb pressure applied by a massage therapist. The focused therapy makes Reflex jets particularly effective for relieving muscle fatigue and stubborn knots that develop from physical activity or prolonged sitting.
Recommended For
Upper back tension, shoulder muscles, lumbar support, and post-workout recovery.
Patented Sundance® Hydrotherapy
Fluidix® Jet Technology
Fluidix® Jet Technology
Fluidix® jets are the foundation of the Sundance® 780 Series hydrotherapy experience. Unlike traditional hot tub jets that rely on internal gears or bearings, Fluidix® jets use the natural interaction of water and air to create a wide variety of massage sensations while reducing wear over time.
This patented technology allows Sundance to create multiple massage styles using different jet designs, providing everything from gentle relaxation to deep tissue therapy. Every 780 Series seat is built around a unique jet configuration, allowing users to enjoy a variety of massage experiences throughout the spa
Customizable Hydrotherapy
Fluidix Intelli-Jet™
Fluidix Intelli-Jet™
The Fluidix Intelli-Jet™ is Sundance's most advanced adjustable therapy jet available in the 780 Series. This proprietary design allows users to adjust both massage intensity and massage style, creating a personalized hydrotherapy experience without changing seats.
Three levels of pressure adjustment and two distinct massage patterns allow Intelli-Jet™ users to transition from gentle relaxation to deep tissue muscle recovery with a simple adjustment of the jet face.
Recommended For
Neck tension, shoulder stiffness, upper back fatigue, and daily muscle recovery

Recommendation:
- Value-focused buyer → 680
- Most buyers → 780
- Best overall therapy and features → 880
Luxury and entertaining → 980
This is one of the most common questions from shoppers.
For modern Sundance spas with proper insulation, a quality cover, and typical usage in Canada:
Estimated Monthly Cost
Summer$20-$40
Spring/Fall$30-$60
Winter$50-$120
For most owners in British Columbia, average annual operating costs are approximately:
- Electricity: $30-$60/month
- Water care products: $10-$20/month
- Filters and maintenance: $5-$15/month
A well-insulated Sundance spa will usually average between $40 and $100 monthly total ownership cost, depending on electricity rates and winter temperatures. Premium insulated models can actually cost less to operate over many years than cheaper, poorly insulated competitors.
If hydrotherapy is your top priority:
Good: 680 Series
Provides classic relaxation and muscle relief.
Better: 780 Series
More jet variety and improved seat design.
Best: 880 Series
Many Sundance dealers consider the 880 Series the "sweet spot" for hydrotherapy.
Features include:
Advanced Fluidix® jets
Specialty therapy seats
FocusRelief® jet technology
Deep tissue massage options
Improved foot therapy
Ultimate: 980 Series
Provides premium therapy plus luxury features, though the primary upgrade over the 880 is often aesthetics and premium experience rather than dramatically different therapy.

- This is your first hot tub
- You want maximum value
- You primarily want relaxation
- Budget is a major consideration

- You want premium features without moving into luxury pricing
Buy a 980 if:
- You are creating a luxury backyard space
- You entertain frequently
- Design and appearance matter as much as performance
