I have been checking on some things this morning and this is what I found. The primary pump has 120v at both hot contacts The primary pump's shaft spins freely I jumped the contacts on the flow switch and "heat" showed up on the display but the pump never kicked on I disconnected the contacts to the flow switch and nothing changed The lights don't work and the CD player doesn't work I replaced the BUSS fuse and nothing changed There is a red light on the mother board that is lit I'm hoping this additional info will help identify the problem. Thanks for any help!

We have a 2001 Catalina spa that I have owned for approx. 4 years. We recently moved and the hot tub hasn't been used in about 4 months. I hooked up the electrical and filled it up tonight and I'm getting FLO and COOL error codes. The spa has two pumps, the secondary pump kicks on but sounds like its not getting enough water or not fully priming and the primary pump wont kick on at all which is why it wont heat I'm guessing. I have gotten the FLO code in the past after draining/refilling but the problem usually corrects itself after the pipes fill. Is there some hibernation or non use protocol I should have followed prior to filling? Likely unrelated but the LED lights wont work either. Thanks in advance for any info or opinion!!!

It has a Balboa Cat 200 control board, 2 pumps, one two speed and a single speed, electronic topside control, 2" stainless heater. Last week I got the error message "FLO" on the display. I ordered a new pressure sensor and just installed it, nothing changed. The display still says "FLO" then flashes to to 44 (degrees), then COOL, then back to FLO and so on. Nothing on the spa works, pumps, lights, stereo etc. I already pulled the filters out and the spa still didnt work. About 4 days before the spa stopped working, I found a towell stuck on one of the suction fittings. Could this have caused the problem? Im wondering if the towel impeding flow caused a pump failure. I checked for power on both pumps and I have 123 to 125 volts on each terminal. So the pumps are receiving power. Is there a way to see if the pumps work? Also, there is a red light on, on the Balboa control board which may be caused by the FLO error, or does it mean something else? I live in Denver and its getting cold and I'm worried about the thing freezing up and causing more problems. So if I cant get it fixed soon I'm going to drain it. I would appreciate ANY help, suggestions, or experiences! Thanks!!!
