SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
These directions are provided to ensure the proper installation and operation of S.R. Smith Color Light
Streams™ Large Laminar. The maximum lighted distance of the laminar stream should be
considered 6ft height and 6ft in distance. If the laminar arc is over 6ft there is a high degree of
probability that the lighting will not travel the full distance to the bottom of the laminar flow. Also, if the
throw distance is over 6ft, the lighting will also fail to go the full distance of the laminar stream.
IMPORTANT GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS:
1.
The water supply to the Color Light Streams Laminar fountains
must
be filtered with a
cartridge filter.
Sand filter and DE filters will likely produce small particles of debris that will
clog the filter screens internal to the laminar flow fountains.
2. Water supply is dependent upon 3 important factors:
a. Pump size – if dedicated pump is used it must be a minimum of a ½ hp and supply
proper flow rate at 16 ft of head.
b. Plumbing pipe size
c. Number of laminar flow fountains on system
3. Each S.R. Smith Color Light Streams Large Laminar flow fountain requires 12VAC.
Minimum
sized conduit is 3/4”
. Run the supplied 100ft of 12VAC wire from the Color Light Stream LED
driver through the conduit back to the location of your transformer (not included).
4. S.R. Smith Color Light Streams Large Laminar flow fountains can be placed in most any
location from concrete decks, raised bond beams or even softscapes. Be sure that the
distance from the interior pool wall to the laminar flow fountain is no further than 5’. This would
allow the lighted laminar flow stream to be 1’ into the pool interior.
IMPORTANT:
Read and follow all safety and installation instructions carefully before
installation.
The product must be installed in accordance with the applicable installation code by a
person familiar with the construction and operation of the product and hazard
involved.
NOTE: GENERAL RULE OF THUMB IS THAT EACH LAMINAR FOUNTAIN REQUIRES
APPROXIMATELY 10 GPM.
