Well just got off the phone with jacuzzi tech surport and they told me that USI Inc bought Jacuzzi and Sundance awhile ago.Both brands are made in the same factory and the Pumps are made by Jacuzzi and not Sundance.The Circuit Boards are made by Sundance.And with the new jets on the Jacuzzi's they will match the sundances.So really USI bought both brands and hope all the good people on the board don't listen to most of the bad press everyones giving Jacuzzi or better yet call their Tech Department if you have any questions.johnny Thunders :o

Partially correct information. The rest of the story... Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath, the original Jacuzzi, bought out U.S. Industries, and now everything is under the umbrella of Jacuzzi Worldwide Companies. The pumps are not Jacuzzi brand pumps. Just open up the cabinet and look. You want I should post some photos. I have evidence via digital photos of the Sundance equipment on Jacuzzi spas, just ask.

johnnythunders:
Well you are right USI bought both brands and changed their name to Jacuzzi,When i get my Jacuzzi i will look in and see who makes the pumps.Like I told tech surport to me it does not matter who makes the pumps Sundance or Jacuzzi because I know both are well known names..And Jacuzzi Jets are Different then last years so there has to be a better difference in the Jets.I even asked him about Blue Ridge Spas and he said they were very CHEAP and would not want to buy one lol...Johnny Thunders :P

Jacuzzi bought sundance. Jacuzzi did have USI as it's name a while back. In 2003 Jacuzzi decided to take advantage of the name and (FORMALLY) changed the name of tghe company to Jacuzzi. The jets for 2004 are "slightly" different that in 2003(not a real big deal). The new jets are easier to replace. The pumps DO now say Sundance on them. I have no idea WHY. They may well be original Jacuzzi pumps with simply a new badge on them. Again, I have NO idea why they would do this. My J370 is an early 2003. It's pumps DO say "Jacuzzi" on them. It's 100% possible that they are actually sundance pumps with Jacuzzi labeling. I really am not certain at this point. Jacuzzi is still a good, competitive brand IMHO but there are others you should also consider (Hot Springs (all variations), Master, Beachcomber, Bull Frog, Marquis)...

Well, unfortunatly, it does mater what pumps they use. Sundance spas do not have "MaxPowerPro®" Jets. These are the VERY large jets you find in the Jacuzzi premium spas. The pumps Sundance uses do not have the high flow of water the Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath pumps did, and cannot operate all of the jets all of the time with respectable performance due to their lack of the higher water flow, causing you to HAVE to divert water to those jets ALONE to get any real performance.
