Spa leaks

Posted: Sun Nov 12, 2006 1:02 am   Post subject: LEAKS

I just bought a six months old Catalina Spa and have a leak from one of the pipe coming in, any one knows how to fix this problem. There is no crack inside the spa but leaks from2 3 place in the foam area under the filter. Help me

You need to purchase a spa safe dye, let it run in the spa for a couple of days if the spa will stay full. Then you will have to dig out the foam were you think the leak is. This can be very time consuming. Just because you can see water in the filter area does not mean that is where the leak actually is. Once you have located the leak To fix the pipe leak you will need a schedule 40 PVC coupling, (1-1/2" or 2" depending on the size of pipe in your spa) PVC primer and PVC cement. Cut out the cracked part and glue the coupling on. You may need a small piece of the flex or hard pipe as well. The spa should be under warranty. If it is you can call Catalina to find a certified repair company in your area at 951-940-4556. Or if you are in Maryland you can set up a service call with us to come out and take a look.
