Fresh, inviting water without the heavy chemical smell or feel.
The Sundance® Kingston® 980™ Series hot tub brings serious hydrotherapy and social space together in one unmistakably premium design. Its open seating layout welcomes up to seven adults, with deep, sculpted seats and 57 strategically placed jets delivering a different massage experience from one seat to the next. Three dedicated massage pumps provide the power behind everything from focused neck and shoulder relief to soothing therapy for the back, wrists, legs and feet.
The experience extends beyond the seats. A spacious lounge deck creates a comfortable place to cool down without leaving the water, while illuminated SunCoolers™ keep drinks cold in summer or towels warm and ready on cooler evenings. SilentAir® injector jets add a gentle, soft-tissue massage and can diffuse SunScents™ aromatherapy for an entirely different kind of relaxation. Premium lighting, contemporary cabinetry, a glass touch control panel, wireless charging and an integrated entertainment system complete the Kingston’s elevated design.

Every Kingston™ from The Backyard District includes True Water™. Advanced nanobubble technology works alongside Sundance® horizontal filtration to deliver clearer, fresher water with dramatically less chlorine and less maintenance.
Fresh, inviting water without the heavy chemical smell or feel.
Oxygen-filled nanobubbles continuously help remove microscopic contaminants throughout the spa.
Spend less time managing your water and more time enjoying it.
Nanobubbles, circulation and Sundance® filtration work together as one integrated system.
*Manufacturer claims are based on prescribed True Water™ use, testing conditions and recommended water-care routines. True Water™ replaces the standard ClearRay® configuration. Proper water balance and approved sanitizer requirements still apply.
The spacious, lounge-free layout gives up to seven adults room to settle in comfortably. Varied seat depths and a generous footwell make it easier for everyone to find their perfect place.
Fifty-seven thoughtfully positioned jets and three dedicated massage pumps deliver strong, adjustable hydrotherapy for the neck, shoulders, back, wrists, legs and feet.
SilentAir® injector jets provide a gentle soft-tissue massage while SunScents™ aromatherapy surrounds you with a soothing fragrance, creating a more immersive way to unwind.
Illuminated SunCoolers™ keep drinks chilled, while the spacious lounge deck gives you room to sit, cool down or stay connected without stepping away from the spa.

Accu-Ssage™ Therapy Seat
The customer-favorite Accu-Ssage™ seat delivers extensive coverage across the neck, back, wrists and calves. It is designed for deep immersion and full-body relief without requiring you to constantly reposition yourself.
SilentAir® Massage and SunScents™ Aromatherapy
Dedicated air-only injector jets introduce thousands of gentle bubbles for a soft-tissue massage. Add SunScents™ aromatherapy beads to diffuse fragrance through the air system without putting oils directly into the spa water.
Lounge Deck and Illuminated SunCoolers™
The 980™ Series adds more ways to enjoy the water. The integrated lounge deck offers a shallow place to cool down, while illuminated SunCoolers™ can hold cold drinks or keep towels close at hand.
MicroClean® Ultra II Filtration
The horizontal MicroClean® Ultra II system uses two interlocking filters and 130 square feet of filtration area to capture debris and extremely fine particles. Its placement creates more usable seating space while supporting cleaner, clearer water.

The Kingston® has seven molded seating positions. Its open layout and generous footwell make it especially well suited to families and homeowners who plan to entertain, although individual comfort will always depend on the height and build of each person.
The Kingston® uses an open-seating layout rather than a full-length reclining lounge seat. It does include a spacious shallow-water lounge deck, which gives you a comfortable place to cool down while remaining in the spa. Buyers who prefer a traditional full-body lounger should compare it with the Sundance® Claremont®.
The Kingston® has 57 hydrotherapy jets plus 12 SilentAir® injector jets. Its patented Fluidix® Jets are arranged to create distinct massage experiences in different seats, and three dedicated massage pumps provide strong, adjustable performance.
The Kingston® measures 92 inches long by 100 inches wide by 32 inches high. It holds approximately 401 gallons of water and has a filled weight of approximately 4,392 pounds, so it must be installed on a properly prepared, level foundation.
Yes. The Backyard District orders every Sundance® Kingston® with the True Water™ system as its standard water-care configuration. Because True Water™ replaces the standard ClearRay® system, a True Water™-equipped Kingston® does not include both systems.
Both models belong to the premium Sundance® 980™ Series and share its advanced hydrotherapy, water care and luxury features. The Kingston® provides open seating for up to seven adults, while the Claremont® seats up to six and includes a full-body lounge seat. The right choice comes down to whether you prioritize maximum social seating or a dedicated lounger.
The Kingston® requires a dedicated 240-volt electrical connection installed by a licensed electrician. The exact breaker configuration should be confirmed with The Backyard District before installation because it can vary with the selected equipment and site requirements.
Yes. The Kingston® is designed for buyers who want meaningful therapy throughout the spa, not just a high jet count. Fluidix® Jets, the Accu-Ssage™ Therapy Seat, multiple massage varieties and three dedicated massage pumps provide targeted coverage for the neck, shoulders, back, wrists, legs and feet.
