History
Starting from a garage in Costa Mesa, California, Jim Clark and his two sons, Ron and Chuck formed a business around the emerging market for plastics. Originally manufacturing accessories for the automotive industry, in 1979 the Clarks turned to the portable hot tub business, creating an innovative spa that delivered superior quality and performance. This marked the birth of Sundance Spas.

In 1993, Sundance Spas attained success through the aggressive launch of an international sales program that added record numbers of retail locations around the world. In 1998, Sundance Spas became a part of Jacuzzi Brands, Inc. (now Jacuzzi Brands Corp.) Today, Sundance Spas has grown to become a manufacturer of the most technologically advanced and highest quality acrylic spas in the world.

Sundance Spas leads the industry in the design and development of acrylic spa shells, heating and filtration systems, water purification, and programming/control systems. Recent innovations ensure that Sundance spa systems are as efficient as they are powerful, and no other spa manufacturer can match Sundance Spas' track record for introducing new technologies in hydrotherapy. In fact, the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals has honored Sundance Spas with its prestigious John Holcomb Silver Award for technical contributions to the spa industry.

Sundance Spas' Firsts
In 1996, Sundance Spas was the first manufacturer in the industry worldwide to receive ISO 9001 Certification. Today, every Sundance Spa model is manufactured to strict ISO 9001 certification standards, the most comprehensive guideline of standards that apply to the design, manufacturing, installation, and service of every product. Manufacturing and quality processes are audited regularly to maintain this certification.

Sundance Spas developed the first water filtration and purification technology to be FDS-compliant and National Sanitization Foundation-approved. This advanced filtration and purification technology helps to maintain water clarity while minimizing chemical usage and maintenance.
