Laminar Jet | Installation and Operation Manual
ENGLISH
Section 2. General Installation
Requirements
This document provides instructions for installing the
Jandy Laminar Jet with LED Lights. Read through the
instructions completely before starting the procedure.
The laminar jet is designed to provide a clear, adjustable
stream of water that arcs high up and out into the pool.
The laminar jet comes with a built-in LED light module
or a fiber optic module that accepts lighted fiber optics.
These light sources light the arc of water creating a
dazzling nighttime effect. This unique water feature is
easily installed and multiple jets can be combined to
create spectacular water entertainment.
To properly install this product please review the
following installation and maintenance instructions.
2.1 Water Source
The laminar jet water supply line must be filtered by a
cartridge filter (do not use a sand filter). If you are using
a dedicated filter - it must be a minimum of 20 sq-ft
(1.85 m
2
). For multiple jet installations, use a minimum
of 100 sq-ft (9.3 m
2
), such as the Jandy CS100 filter.
2.2 Pump
The required minimum pump flow for each laminar jet
is shown in the table below:

2.3 Plumbing
Each laminar jet requires a 1½ to 2 in (38 - 50 mm)
PVC main feed line with 1 in (25 mm) PVC entering the
deck canister. A check valve is also required and should
be placed as far from the deck canister as possible to
minimize water turbulence.
2.4 LED Light Module
The 12V LED light module offers vibrant lighting in
nine (9) brilliant colors and five (5) festive color shows
that can be controlled manually, by the AquaLink
®
RS
Control System (Rev O or newer) or by the Jandy PDA
Control System (Rev 4.0 or newer). The light module
can be synchronized with Jandy’s Pool and Spa LED
lights and operates on less than 25 watts of power.
2.5 Conduit/Fiber Optics Module
If installing fiber optics, each laminar jet will require
100 to 150 strand fiber optic cable. One hundred-fifty
strand cable is recommended due to the enhanced
lighting effects.
2.6 Critical Placement Dimensions
The laminar jet can project a maximum of 7 feet (2.1 m)
up and 8 feet (2.4 m) out into the water. Therefore,
ensure the installation is no more than 6 feet (1.8 m)
from the
inside
edge of the pool.
NOTE:
To avoid water spray on the deck in high wind
areas, place the laminar jet closer to the edge
of the pool.
NOTE:
The deck canister lid can only rotate
approximately 90 degrees to the left or the right.
Therefore, make sure that the deck canister is
positioned towards the desired target location
(see Installing the Deck Canister) prior to
completing the installation.
