Lighted Laminar Light Enhancement Device
In order to achieve maximum light output, the Light Enhancement Device will need to be adjusted. Adjustment
of the “scratcher” or Light Enhancement Device will increase the light output of the laminar flow stream and
also will allow you to create water effects such as “pulsing” of the flow stream and light output.
NOTE: For best effects the following should be done in a dark or night time environment
Adjustment
1. Ensure that all connections and other installation requirements have been completed.
2. Turn on and operate system as per other directions. This will allow you to adjust the water direction and
height properly along with the water flow (GPM) that you wish to achieve.
3. Once both of the above have been completed, turn off system.
4. Raise the laminar flow lid/fountain by the edge of the deck box approximately 4 inches.
5. Insert 1 – 2” x 4” board under each side of the lid, parallel with the slot in the lid, so that the lid is supported,
yet raised up from the deck box base.
6. Turn back on the system and reestablish water flow to the fountain.
7. The “scratcher” has 3 adjustment screws. Adjust each screw so that the tip just touches the water flow.
(See diagram below)
8. As you increase the contact area of each screw you can achieve different light effects, such as color / light
streaking or highlights caused by added surface disturbance within the water flow.
Please remember that the
brighter the light is in the beginning or middle of the stream arc, the less light will be available at the end of the
arc where the water lands in the pool.
9. Once you have made the adjustments to achieve your desired effects, add a little drop of silicon or a non
permanent thread locking compound on each screw. Turn off the system and remove the 2” x 4” braces and
set the laminar/lid back into place on the deck box flange.
10. Turn on the system one last time as a final inspection to insure that the lighting effect you adjusted for in
#7 is still there. You may have to do several adjustments to achieve the maximum lighting effect.
