5.
Each fountain requires a 1” (see table on page 5 for pipe size progression) PVC water
supply that will be glued to the supplied reducer that connects the PVC flex inlet hose.
6. Each laminar may also have an individual, optional gate valve installed for minor flow
adjustments. All main flow gate valves should be located as close as possible to the
equipment pad area to reduce water turbulence from entering the laminar fountain.
7. On main water supply line install a cartridge filter and check valve.
8. Bypass line and main flow gate valve needs to be installed.
9. A plumbing loop is highly recommended for multiple fountain installations.
INSTALLATION OF THE LAMINAR FLOW DECK BOX
1. Reconfirm that fountain is no further than 5 feet away from the interior water surface of the
pool.
2. Prepare location by digging hole approx. 24” in diameter and 30” deep.
a. For ‘in-deck’ applications – Level the lid to the finished grade level of decking.
b. For planter areas – Laminar lid should be 2 inches ABOVE the landscape area to
prevent materials from intruding or washing into the fountain itself.
3. Remove the laminar flow fountain from the deck box assembly by unscrewing the hose union
connection on the ¾” flex inlet hose. Please note the number of rotations required to wrap the
hose inside the deck box and DO NOT shorten the hose.
4. Use the provided union cap on the water line source side of the hose for pressure testing and
winterization. DO NOT LOSE.
5. Place the deck box into the excavated hole on the center stand pipe or rebar sockets on the
side of the deck box with the drain line hole in-line with the direction of the desired water flow
(towards pool interior). This will place the water connection at the very rear of the Laminar,
opposite of the pool wall.
Please note that the hose now exits the rear of the deck box at a 45
degree left angle as viewed from the back
.
6. The bottom of the deck box can be supported by utilizing the 1” PVC support connection. The
support pipe should be long enough to support the deck box at the planned level. You may
also support the deck box using the new rebar sockets to help maintain the proper level.
