MagicStream Laminar Installation and User’s Guide
Pentair recommends that the system pressure test be performed after the deck housing is mounted to the
supply piping.
5. Plug the flex line in the housing by disconnecting the union between the deck housing and the Laminar.
Using one of the Laminar adjustment nuts, secure the winterization cap to the supply side of the union.
The pressure on the piping/plumbing supplying the Laminar should not exceed 50 PSI.
6. Once the deck is finished, flush any debris from the supply pipe using the pump and filter system that
supplies the Laminar.
Any debris in the Laminar unit will hinder its ability to produce a turbulence-free stream.
Electrical Installation
1. Pull the 16 gauge, 3-conductor cable through the opening marked “electrical” in the deck housing and
feed it via electrical conduit to the transformer’s location (Figure 2). Leave 3 feet of slack at the deck
housing end to allow easy servicing.
2. Connect the LED wiring to the 12vac taps of the transformer.
3. Connect the 120vac side of the transformer to a 120vac GFCI power feed that is controlled by a single
switch. When installing multiple laminars, make sure all the laminars are connected to a single switch. You
will use this switching capability to program the LED light engine (See pages 10-11).
WARNING
—
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, all metal items within five (5) feet of the pool or
spa must be properly electrically bonded to a reliable grounding point. The Laminar canister must be properly electrically
bonded and grounded via the NO. 8 AWG ground connector located on the side of the canister.
