Not always. Seating capacity is based on the number of moulded seat positions in the shell, but real-world comfort depends on a few factors. First, body size: larger adults need more legroom, and some seats are designed for average or smaller builds. Second, seat type: a lounge seat occupies footwell space that other seated users share when the lounge is occupied, it can effectively reduce the usable space for everyone else. Third, jet positioning: some seats are designed with specific jet configurations for individual use. A practical rule of thumb: subtract one from the stated capacity to get the number of adults who can soak comfortably at the same time. When you visit a dealer showroom, sit in the actual model you're considering. Wet test sessions are available at many Sundance® dealers so you can evaluate fit and comfort before you commit.

Jets: The number, type, and placement of jets matter more than the total count. Directional jets target specific muscle groups; rotary jets provide a broader massage. Look for adjustable jets so each person can customise the pressure. Pumps: More pumps generally means more jets running simultaneously at full power. A spa with two pumps can deliver a noticeably more powerful experience than one with a single pump. Filtration: Clean water depends on good filtration. Sundance® spas use a multi-stage filtration system that keeps water cleaner with less chemical maintenance. Controls: Intuitive topside controls let you adjust temperature, jets, and lighting easily. Many models also connect to a smartphone app for remote monitoring. Lighting: LED lighting, including underwater and perimeter lights, extends evening use and sets the mood. Insulation: Full-foam insulation retains heat more efficiently, which affects your monthly energy costs. Cover: A well-fitting insulated cover is essential. It retains heat, keeps debris out, and is a safety requirement if children are around.
