2. GENERAL INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 WATER SOURCE MUST BE FILTERED
The Laminar water supply must be filtered
by a cartridge filter (do not use a sand filter)
and be installed with a check valve. For up to
four laminar jet installations use a dedicated
filter that is a minimum of 50 sq-ft such as the
CMP filter 25504-600-000.
2.2 PUMP
The required minimum pump flow for each
laminar is listed in the table below:

2.3 PLUMBING
Each laminar jet requires a 1” PVC entering
the deck canister. A check valve, such as CMP
Hydroseal 25830-704-000, should be installed
as far away from the laminar jet canister as
possible to minimize water turbulence. The
laminar canister is made from ABS material.
Use only ABS-PVC glue when making conduit
connections to this canister. Each Laminar
installed requires its own ball valve to adjust
flow on each line such as the CMP Ball Valve
25800-151-000.
2.4 LED LIGHT MODULE
The 12V LED light module offers vibrant
lighting and can be synced with a variety
of pool lighting products for the major
manufacturers. Reference the color
sync guide in the back portion of these
instructions.
2.5 CRITICAL PLACEMENT DIMENSIONS
The maximum lighted distance of the laminar
stream should be considered 4 feet in height
and 6 feet in distance. If the laminar arc is
over 4 feet high there is a good chance that
the lighting will not travel the full distance to
the bottom of the laminar flow. If the throw
distance is over 6 feet the lighting will also fail
to go the full distance through the laminar
stream. Be sure the distance from the interior
pool wall to the Laminar is no further than 3
feet.
It is extremely
important that the water supply line
to each Laminar must be flushed so
that all debris material inside the line
is removed prior to being installed
into the Laminar. Foreign material
and debris will negatively affect the
performance of the fountain.
