Why does the pump surge in my Catalina Armstrong Hot Tub?
Pump surges in your Catalina Hot Tub can be caused by a water level that is too low (add water) or a blockage or restriction (empty the filter basket and clean the suction drain covers).
Why does my Catalina Hot Tub heat, but not high enough?
If your Catalina Hot Tub heats, but not to the desired temperature, it could be due to the thermostat being turned down (increase the temperature setting), a dirty filter (change the filter), a closed slice valve (open slice valves), or a shifted spa cover (reposition the spa cover).
How to fix cloudy water in my Catalina Armstrong Hot Tub?
Cloudy water in your Catalina Hot Tub can be due to several factors. You might need to replace the filter, add shock, or clean the cover with an approved cleaner. It could also be caused by improper sanitization or suspended organic matter, in which case you should add sanitizer. In some cases, you may need to clean or replace the filter, add shock, and run the jets. If the problem persists, consider draining and refilling the spa and replacing the filter, as the water may be at the end of its life or have a calcium pH imbalance.
What to do if I have skin irritation or rash after using my Catalina Hot Tub?
If you experience skin irritation or a rash after using your Catalina Hot Tub, it could be due to several reasons: * Improper sanitation * Combined chlorine * Too much chlorine * A dirty filter * pH imbalance Test the water and add shock and sanitizer as needed. Adding water to lower sanitizer levels may also help. Clean or replace the filter to resolve this issue.
Why does my Catalina Hot Tub water have a bad smell?
A bad smell in your Catalina Hot Tub water can be caused by excessive organic matter, bacteria growth, improper sanitization, low pH, or chloramines. To address this, add shock, sanitizer, adjust the pH, or add oxidizing shock.
Why will my Catalina Hot Tub not power off?
If your Catalina Hot Tub will not power off, it may be because the spa is heating or filtering, which is a normal function. Try lowering the temperature settings.
Why is the GFCI tripping on my Catalina Hot Tub?
If the GFCI is tripping on your Catalina Hot Tub, it is likely due to improper wiring. Have an electrician check the neutral wiring connections at the GFCI.

How to remove stains on the acrylic surface of my Catalina Armstrong Hot Tub?
Stains on the acrylic surface of your Catalina Hot Tub can be caused by high alkalinity or low pH (adjust alkalinity and pH accordingly), high mineral content (use stain & scale reducer), high metal content (use metal sequestering agent), or high calcium levels (adjust alkalinity and use stain and scale reducer).
Why is the water flow low in my Catalina Armstrong?
Low water flow in your Catalina Hot Tub can occur because the spa is heating or filtering (normal spa function), the diverter valve position (rotate diverter valve to increase flow), the air valve is closed (rotate air valve to open), the filter is dirty (clean or replace filter), the slice valve(s) are closed (open slice valves), or there is improper line voltage (have an electrician check voltage).
